Department of Project Management

This Project Delivery Process Manual (PDP) has been developed by the Department of Project Management (DPM) to serve as both a communication and a working tool that aids in the planning, designing, and construction of new buildings and renovations. The process and controls developed are based on industry standards combined with the professional experiences of the DPM personnel who draw from backgrounds in Planning, Architecture, Construction, and Owner's Representation.

The purpose of the PDP Manual is to ensure that projects are aligned with the academic mission of the University and meet approved goals, budgets, and schedules. Adhering to the PDP Manual will ensure that project team members are knowledgeable and able to make informed decisions, resulting in improved quality and performance and reduction in University risk. DPM will strive to organize all projects undertaken in accordance to the process described herein.

This manual describes the planning, design, and construction process which is segregated into ten distinct Process phases. Each phase requires specific tasks to be performed and deliverables (such as budget) to be produced prior to obtaining the necessary approvals to move forward. These tasks, deliverables, and approvals combine to create an organized set of process controls.
