Factors Determining the Size of Projects

This paper identifies the problems with large multi-year painting projects and discusses the benefit to Facility Owners and Contractors for breaking a large bridge project into smaller phases. It will also discuss factors that determine the optimum size, large or small, of a painting project and their impacts. The size of a project will be analyzed from the standpoint of money, time, insurance, bonding, manpower, inspection, management, bridge inventory and job quality.

This paper identifies the problems with large multi-year painting projects and discusses the benefit to Facility Owners and Contractors for breaking a large bridge project into smaller phases. It will also discuss factors that determine the optimum size, large or small, of a painting project and their impacts. The size of a project will be analyzed from the standpoint of money, time, insurance, bonding, manpower, inspection, management, bridge inventory and job quality. All of these factors are important and must be addressed during the design of any project. When both the Facility Owner and Contractor have a better understanding of the issues, he or she can then determine how large or small a project should be. It should be noted that the information presented in this paper is not based upon empirical data from any specific project(s). The purpose of this paper is to identify the challenges facing both Contractors and Facility Owners when selecting the size of a specific project.
