Course 4 - Building Site Management and Building Process with Timber
Introduction
This course focuses on the management aspects of timber construction
projects, covering the entire construction process from mapping and correlation
of parameters to logistics, cost estimation, digital processes, and
sustainability considerations. Participants will learn about the installation
chronology of load-bearing construction elements on the building site, moisture
management, cost estimation for building life cycle assessment, BCF (Building
Information Modeling, Construction, Facility Management) workflows, logistics,
and best-practice examples of large-scale international timber projects. The
course also emphasizes the importance of sustainability concepts, including
recyclability and dismantling strategies with timber.
Learning objectives:
By the end of the course, the students will be able to:
- Map the timber construction process, understand its stages, and identify the key parameters that impact the project's success.
- Understand the installation chronology of load-bearing construction elements on the building site and ensure proper sequencing for a smooth construction workflow.
- Estimate costs for building life cycle assessment, considering dimensions, transport, montage, logistics, and the overall economic viability of timber construction projects.
- Understand sustainability concepts related to timber construction, including recyclability and dismantling strategies, and integrate them into project planning and execution.
- Understand the management of timber construction projects, while considering environmental, economic, and logistical factors.
6. Cost estimation: Dimensions, transport, montage, and logistics
Cost estimation for building projects involves analyzing dimensions, transport, montage, and logistics to determine the overall expenses. The size and complexity of the building directly impact construction costs, with larger and more intricate structures generally requiring higher budgets. Transport costs are influenced by the distance between the construction site and material suppliers, while efficient montage techniques and well-managed logistics can reduce labor expenses and ensure timely material delivery, optimizing cost-effectiveness. By carefully evaluating these factors, accurate cost estimates can be generated, aiding in budget planning and project execution.
