Project Lifecycle and Phases

The Project Lifecycle and Phases guide is a strategic tool for BEC Arabia employees to understand the progression of a mega project from inception to completion. It outlines the key stages, tasks, and responsibilities involved in a project, ensuring professionalism, efficiency, and compliance with BEC Arabia's standards and KSA regulations.

Details

The project lifecycle is divided into four main phases:

1. Initiation: This phase involves project conception, feasibility studies, and obtaining necessary approvals.

2. Planning: Detailed project planning, including scope, budget, timeline, and risk management plans are developed.

3. Execution: The project plan is implemented, and the project is monitored and controlled to ensure it stays on track.

4. Closure: The project is finalized, and a post-project review is conducted.

Each phase has specific tasks and responsibilities that need to be fulfilled by the respective departments.

Compliance and Regulations

This guide aligns with KSA laws, BEC Arabia’s internal compliance policies, and international construction standards. It ensures that all project phases are conducted in accordance with the necessary legal and regulatory requirements, including environmental regulations, labor laws, and safety standards.
