Construction Operation - Unit Specific

Front 1

Seabee Construction Management (CBCM) program

Back 1

 CONTRUCTION BATTALION CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
o Program designed specifically for Seabee construction management.
o Used from 1996 through 2009
o Some units still use the program internally
 MICROSOFT PROJECTS
o Recently selected to replace CBCM
o Macro developed to produce same reports.

Crew Leader Handbook

Back 2

 Detailed guide directing how to run Seabee construction projects.
o Addresses all levels from Regiment to Crew member.
o Defines specific requirements for project planning, execution, management and
closure.

Front 3

NAVFAC P-405

Back 3

 Basic guide for Seabee planning factors.
o Has 17 divisions for each type of construction.
o Contains labor estimates based on the individual construction activities.
o Contains material estimates for certain activities.
o Estimates production of certain machinery.

Front 4

Project Scope

Back 4

 Project scope is a narrative description of the work to be performed to accomplish any
given construction project. It includes the purpose of the structure, general finishes,
general construction, and general utilities descriptions.
 Scope gets more detailed as they descend the chain of command.
 Ensures everyone has the same understanding of what the project consists of.

Direct labor

Back 5

Personnel assigned to work on projects.

Front 6

Indirect Labor

Back 6

 Personnel assigned to job specifically supporting construction.
 Mechanics, project supervisors, ect.

Front 7

Overhead Labor

Back 7

 Administration, Supply, Communications, Intelligence, Command staff and special staff.
 Has no direct impact on individual projects

Front 8

Delay Factor (DF)

Back 8

 Result of production efficiency Factor.
 Delay Factor is the difference between normal project conditions and planned construction
conditions.
 Can be a delay or an accelerator.
 DF = 67/PEF
 This is done for every activity.

Front 9

Production Efficiency Factor (PEF)

Back 9

 Factor based on expected variables related to project performance and working conditions used to identify your delay factor for individual
projects.
 Factor average is 67
o A factor of 25 = near impossible.
o A factor or 80 = conditions are optimal.

Front 10

Manday Capability Equation (MC)

Back 10

 Equation used to determine the amount of work a unit can perform.
 Used to determine the capability of a unit.

Front 11

SITREP

Back 11

Update on:
o Percentage complete.
o Percentage scheduled.
o Man-days expended.
o Man-days earned.
o QC comments.
o Safety comments.
o Material comments.
o General comments on the project.

Front 12

Construction
Activity Summary Sheets (CASS).

Back 12

Completed for each step of a project, documents EVERYTHING regardig that step.

Front 13

Field Adjustment Requests (FAR)

Back 13

o Submitted by the contractor( NMCB ) in order to modify the design.
o Usually required to facilitate ease of construction or design oversight.
o Approval at the ROICC level.
o Increase in cost >$500 or increase of more than 50 MD’s required NCR approval

Front 14

Design Change Directives (DCD)

Back 14

o Sent from the ROICC to the NMCB
o Maybe initiated by the end user. But must go thru ROICC.
o Changes Scope of work
o Increase in cost >$500 or increase of more than 50 MD’s required NCR approval

Back 15

Resident Officer In Charge of Construction

Front 16

Request for Information (RFI)

Back 16

 A request to clarify Plans and Specifications
 Clarify Construction Method
 QC/Engineering Department should screen RFI’s
 Used for clarification of plans or specifications only. The RFI can be used for any inquiry
concerning the project. Further direction may be given to submit a FAR in response to an RFI, but does not constitute a change until the FAR is approved.

Front 17

Naval Construction Force (NCF) Quality Control Program (QCP)

Back 17

 The purpose of the NCF Quality Control Program is to prevent discrepancies where the quality of
workmanship and materials fail to match the requirements in the plans and specifications.
 The purpose is to prevent discrepancies where of workmanship and materials fail to match
the requirements in the plans and specifications
 The responsibility for quality construction rests with the crew leader and the chain of
command.
