2.2 Success Criteria
Project success criteria are the standards by which the project will be judged upon its completion to
decide whether or not it has been successful from the stakeholders point of view.
TIME: the time required to produce a deliverable is estimated using several techniques. One method is
to identify tasks needed to produce the deliverables documented in a work breakdown structure. The
work effort for each task is estimated and those estimates are compiled into a ﬁnal estimate.
According to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) the Project Time Management
processes include:
• Plan Schedule Management
• Estimate Activity Resources
• Estimate Activity Durations
• Develop Schedule
• Control Schedule
Fig. 2.1. Project Management Diamond
11

COST: Total amount of money required to create the product.
Cost Process Areas:
• Cost Estimating is an approximation of the cost of all resources needed to complete
activities.
• Cost budgeting is aggregating the estimated costs of resources, work packages and activities
to establish a cost baseline.
• Cost Control: factors that create cost fluctuation and variance can be influenced and
controlled using various cost management techniques.
SCOPE: The total amount of work needed to be done to finish the product.
Scope =Time × Resources (STR Model)
• Scope looks at the outcome of the project undertaken. The scope of work in this scenario is the
required elements to satisfy your desired outcomes, standards, and costs.
• It is the inside of the “Iron Triangle.” If you adjust the scope of work, the other three variables will be
directly affected.
• A successful project manager will be able to manage both the scope of the project and any change in
scope which impacts time and cost.
QUALITY: The quality you need to meet without compromising with any of the above three factors.
Quality applies to the technique, materials, and supplies used. It also applies to the experience level of
those employed on the project. However, not all matters of quality expands the budget, but budget and
cost directly affect the level of quality.

6.0 Phases
6.1 Implementation Phases & Tools
For the proper initiation of the project as per requested by the client, a project manager (Jabatan
Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan) is hired to oversee the project alongside the architect from start to
ﬁnish. Their aim for the project is to primarily complete the assigned tasks for every milestones along
the duration of the project. As every progress and milestones reached, they need to present said
progress to the client (Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan) for updates and changes done to the
project.
From here, a project plan is discussed and initiated. In that plan, Jabatan Agama Islam Wilayah
Persekutuan plays the role in coordinating and delegating tasks for every department involved, which
includes the designation of resources required to each departments.
Along the duration of the project, hired consultants are expected to produce the standard deliverables
to present on a timely basis as per requested by the client and project manager. This ensures that
each milestone is achieved on a timely manner without the compromise of standard work quality.
The following are the stages and sub-phases throughout the Implementation process, with these,
architects follow a standard guideline of sorts to acquire information and speciﬁcations to
accommodate the client’s needs and as well as to ensure that the proposed building design suits the
contextual conditions of the site.
6.1. Implementation Phase & Tools
26

6.1.1 Schematic Design
Schematic design is the first step of design phase in any project. During this phase is when the client
is involved in the discussion and determining the goals, aims, potential programmes and ultimately the
project’s requirements. Along with it is the discussion on the estimated square footage needed for the
proposed programmes, how many rooms for different programmes and so on. The first main goal is to
get to know the client’s wants and needs and further discuss the potential compromises in order to
suite the client’s budget.
The next step in this phase is the data collection. The architect along with the appointed quantity
surveyor conduct a site analysis and investigation of the proposed site; the data collected revolves
around the characteristics and atmospheric conditions of the site with the aid of site images, onsite
sketches, statistical tabulations in order to capture the conditions of the site in the form of data. All of
this is then used for the development of sketches and study drawings to illustrate and conceptualize
the client’s vision; this helps both the architect and client to have an understanding of scale, form and
potential spatial relationships before further developing the concepts into more comprehensible
designs.
Research is also a big part of this phase and this is where the architect acquires information in
regards to zoning requirements, jurisdictional restrictions and logistical limitations that are to be
addressed and from here is where project costs is further discussed with the quantity surveyor.
Towards near the end of this phase there is a consultation session between the architect, client and
quantity surveyor to discuss further amendments to accommodate or to suite the conditions of the
site and as well as to fit the client’s budget. At this stage, a final schematic design that the client
agrees on is produced.
27

28

6.1.2 Design Development Phase
Drawing Preparations
After the CCM of the schematic design phase, the finalised schematic designs then translated to a
more detailed and accurate drawings with the aid of computer softwares. Drawings produced are
detailed with appropriate specifications and measurements required for submission, and along with it
includes information of materials, finishes and fixtures to be used for drawing documentation.
Appointed quantity surveyor also compiles the referred costs of project to dedicate spendings for each
part of the project, from here this record is presented to the client for further consultation and
finalisation.
Drawings & Specifications
At this stage, the submitted drawings are consulted by the structural engineers (KR Associates), the
authority (Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan) and Bomba for review. This is where UBBL
compliances, Bomba mandatory requirements and regulations are reviewed to make sure that the
criteria are adhered to.
Approval
Prior to the submission of the final renditions of the drawings, said drawings are then once more
presented to the client, along with the more accurate estimates of construction costs, project itinerary
and scheduling. Then after the client approves, the drawings along with bomba plans are sent to the
authority for approval.

2- Tender Exercise
An Invitation letter and Tender Form is then advertised publicly whereby a number of contractors are
chosen based on the stated “Selection Criteria”. The Project consultants along with the Project
Director, compile the Construction drawings, Bill of Quantities and Specifications for the Tender
process and in return, the invited tenders then provide the pricing document, goods and services,
condition of contract and condition of tenders.
3- Tender Evaluation & Report
The Tender will then undergo an Evaluation process whereby the rules and submission requirements
and the pricing information and schedules of work are under review. The final cost plan is prepared
after comparing tenders from the Quantity Surveyor. After Evaluation, a “Report and Recommendation”
is submitted to the client.
4- Tender Award
After the client review of the proposed tenders, all the participating bidders and the successful
contractor are notified on behalf of the client on the accepted contractor in order for the process of
issuing the contract can thereby commence.
35

5- Contract Award
Shortly after the Contract Documents are agreed upon and prepared with the rest of the project
consultation team, a meeting is then arranged in order of obtaining the signature of both the Client and
the successful Contractor.
Fig. 6.8. Project Contract Information
36

Pre-Construction
After the contract has been awarded to the Contractor, the Project Director implements a schedule,
stating the Types of resources, and the duration it will take for every on-site task to be executed, or the
‘LOE’: Level of Effort, a term used to quantify the level of progress achieved on site.
Project Cost & Budgeting
This Phase is whereby the Project Director, initially outlines the approximate project costs, in which
after consultation, produces a complete and Detailed project Budget, that is later to be signed and
approved by the client.
Project Schedule
Final step before construction commences, the Project Director prepares a set of activities and
deliverables such as, ‘Project Management Plan’, ‘Site Waste Management Plan’, ‘Health & Safety
Hazards’, to ensure that the construction can be executed with least amount of risks or waste.
37

6.1.4 Contract Implementation & Management Phase

Material Approving
Part of site supervision is approving materials after consultation with the contractor, following the
evaluation and testing of the supplied products before their delivery on site.
Fig. 6.14. Material Approval Report
43

Construction Schedule
This schedule is issued by the contractor to ensure all on-site work is being executed uniformly in
accordance to the period stated in the contract to a satisfactory level.
The construction schedule often holds the duration that every task on-site is expected to be completed
and information on critical construction works. Regularly updating the client on the current progress
taking place.
Bonds & Insurance Policies
This is whereby the Contractor issues policies that guarantee the well-being, security and safety of the
property, labour or any other party inﬂuenced with the ongoing site works, to ensure an overall
protected and secure construction work environment.
Schedule Value
The Architect, Contractor and the client hold a meeting in which they all agree upon the costs to be
spent on every construction work, the Contractor then determines the overall schedule value and
forwards it to the Project Director.
Payment Certiﬁcation
Both the Architect and Project Director review the Contractor’s payment application. Upon review, the
Project Director agrees on the contractor's payment portion based on the guidelines of the contract,
after viewing the completeness and adequacy of the work achieved.
44

Inspection
During this phase, the following authorities hold a thorough examination to the constructed premise in
order to achieve their respective approval for the suitability of the building:
BOMBA Inspection
This inspection is held to examine the suitability of the building’s compliance to fire fighting systems
and regulations, in which tests and evaluations of the building’s fire fighting and escape systems are
up to BOMBA standard in order for the building to be awarded the Fire Fitness Certificate.
JPP Inspection
This examination is held on the Building’s Water layout, Sewerage Connections and Drainage.
TNB Inspection
This Inspection is carried out to examine the building’s electrical systems installed. This examination
is held by TNB prior to it providing electrical supply to the building. When the building is compliant, the
TNB then proceeds to supplying the premise with electricity.
SyaBAS Inspection
SyaBas inspection is performed on site, to examine the plumbing systems, inspection on pipes, water
fittings and all water supply networks in the building. If the premise is fit, SyaBas then provides water
to the building’s piping network.
JKKP Inspection
This examination is held to verify the inclusion of emergency notices, signages and other necessary
site safety measures and precautions.
BOMBA JPP TNB SyaBas
Authority Inspections
JKKP
45

6.1.5 Final Completion Phase
Certificate of Practical Completion (CPC)
Shortly after the Contractor notifies the Architect that construction work has been completed, this
certification is then released by the Architects in charge AFCA, to the Contractor when the level of
physical work achieved on site has reached a satisfactory level.
In some projects, CPC is also inclusive of all relevant authorities aforementioned, such as the
Certificate of Fitness from bomba, TNB, syabas, JPP and JKKP.
Fig. 6.15. Precedent ‘Example’ of a CPC
46

Certificate of Completion & Compliance (CCC)
The CCC is issued by the project’s Principal Submitting Person (PSP) AF Consultant Architects, who
have submitted the project plans for approval and supervised the project from beginning to
completion. After execution of construction, and a satisfactory level has been achieved, the CCC is
awarded to the client after the authorization of bomba, TNB, syabas, JPP, JKKP, roads & drainage.
Fig. 6.16. The Project official Certificate of Completion & Compliance
47

Client Handling Over
Once approved of the constructed work in accordance to the contract, the client is issued with all the
relevant documents and hardware of the constructed building, prior to that, handling undergoes three
phases:
1 - Schedule: contains the project duration from design phase to the one-year-review phase.
2 - Checklists: of all the parties involved in the project, with due dates, comments to help consultants
with coordinating tasks for a smooth handling over.
3 - Companion Document: a more comprehensive display of the aforementioned checklists, outlining
specifically the tasks undertaken by each consultant involved in the handover process.
The client is typically handed over the following:
- All Certificates and Building warranties
- As-built drawings from contractor and the consultants
- Access to the building spaces, Keys, etc.
- Testing & commissioning data
- Copies of the authorizations, approvals and conditions
- Licenses (if relevant)
- Equipment test certificates for mechanical equipments such as elevators
Certificate of Making Good Defects (CMGD)
After the issuance of the CPC, A ‘Defects Liability Period’ (DLP) of 6-12 months commences from the
date the CPC was delivered. If the premise was found to contain defects, the contractor is notified to
resolve the defect within the period stated. If the deformity is resolved and no further defects were
detected, the ‘Certificate of Making Good Defects’ is issued.
Final Account Certificate
After the termination of the ‘Defects Liability Period’, this stage is where the Quantity Surveyor issues
the Financial Statements, agreeing upon alterations to contract sum, and paying the Contractor for

7.0 Conclusion
The project commenced on 18th July 2017 and was completed on 28th February 2019, a total of 1 year
and 6 months in period. The project consist of the proposal of residential units next to the Saidina Abu
Bakar As Siddiq Mosque; a prominent mosque of Bangsar, and as well as the general upgrade and
improvements to the mosque itself.
Throughout that period, the project was overseen by the architect (AFCA) and project manager;
Jabatan Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan whom of which is the parent government department to
the client; Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan, as subsidiary to the same department. During the
duration of the project, some of the aforementioned tools used in order to conduct and coordinate
tasks amongst the involved parties are Gantt Charts, Project Breakdown Structure; for monitoring
purposes at every stage and as well as to deﬁne job delegations to each departments.
At the initial stages of design, the Implementation Phases and its sub-phases allow the architect to
have a better vision of the client intentions. This is where the architect build a relationship with the
client to get to know them better in order to balance the client’s wants and needs. A quantity surveyor
is also involved in this process to ensure that the design are not only comprehensible but as well as to
make sure that it is within the client’s budget.
The Contract documentation and implementation stages is where all the aforementioned concepts,
schemes, drawings and plans become concrete Contractual Transactions with appropriate costings
within the project’s realistic budget and ﬁnances. Gradually, the client, the architect and the contractor
work intensively side by side until the manifestation and realization of the project.
