Every successful construction project starts with clear scope definition, stakeholder alignment, legal compliance, and structured planning. In this phase, I focus on translating project vision into actionable parameters.
• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Development
I create a comprehensive WBS to deconstruct the project into manageable components. This enables:
Accurate scheduling and resource allocation
Transparent delegation and scope tracking
Seamless integration with cost and procurement plans
• Contract and Document Review
I begin each project by thoroughly analyzing general and specific contract conditions, technical standards, and architectural/engineering drawings to:
Define the project scope precisely
Identify initial risks and compliance requirements
Ensure alignment with building codes, safety laws, and client objectives
• Regulatory Pathway and Authority Liaison
I coordinate with local regulatory bodies (e.g., municipal building departments, engineering organizations) to:
Obtain construction permits
Submit design documents for approval
Resolve zoning, code, or site access issues early in the project
• Stakeholder Briefings and Needs Analysis
Through kickoff meetings and early consultations, I gather input from:
Clients
Designers
Consultants
Contractors
to ensure that all expectations and technical requirements are captured and documented.
🛠️ Tools and Skills Applied:
Tool/Skill | Application |
Microsoft Project | Creating master schedules and aligning with WBS |
AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks | Reviewing IFC drawings, detecting early design conflicts |
Kickoff Meetings | Aligning multidisciplinary teams on scope and deliverables |
Initial Risk Registers | Identifying delays, permit barriers, and regulatory gaps |
🌟 Value Delivered
A clearly defined scope allows for:
Smoother design-to-execution transitions
Reduced change orders and legal risk
Stronger trust between clients, consultants, and contractors
🏗️ Real Projects
In both the Tavanir Office Building and Niayesh Mall Complex, I took the lead in project scoping and authority approvals. My ability to define deliverables, secure permits, and set execution benchmarks was key in reducing pre-construction delays and aligning all parties before site mobilization.
