Construction and Facility Management

5.7 Planning and Construction (PB)

The Construction Management division is responsible for the project management of major construction projects at Ruhr-Universität Bochum.

Core Tasks

Project management across service phases 1-8 of the HOAI on the user side
Interface function between user groups, external project partners (planning offices and contractors), building owner (Bau- und Liegenschaftsbetrieb NRW) and the university management
Examination of technical documents and involvement of the technical specialist groups of operational technology
Preparation of financing documents, concepts, decision papers, risk reports, schedules
Budget responsibility (financing/liquidity assurance, recording of all costs, invoice and performance auditing, supplementary management)
Supervision and monitoring of plant commissioning
Acceptance of construction work with companies, building authorities and other committees as part of structural acceptance inspections and support for expert acceptance inspections
Carrying out tenders and contract awards, conducting negotiations, drawing up planning and construction service contracts
Handling small projects as client representative (clarification of technical framework conditions, tendering of planning and construction services, coordination of construction measures, cost controlling, auditing)
Determination, consideration and safeguarding of sustainability and environmental aspects as well as energy efficiency

It is an exciting and, above all, diverse field of activity that is characterized by numerous internal and external contacts. It should be particularly emphasized that it is not limited to purely office-based work, but that on-site appointments and inspections of existing buildings and (potential) construction sites are also on the agenda. The great advantage of this is that there are no long journeys, but the projects are carried out on campus or within the Bochum city area. This provides the opportunity to supervise the construction site from close up and to see the new building grow steadily. In general, the situation with regard to the construction volume of the past and coming years at Ruhr University Bochum is probably unique, so that exciting tasks will have to be mastered for years to come.
