Abstract:

This paper addresses professional construction management as applied to the Naval Construction Force, primarily Construction Battalions The Seabees . Currently the Navy uses modern construction planning and execution techniques. Civil Engineer Corps Officers are assigned as construction project managers, however they typically have little or no training in construction management. This paper is designed to serve as an aid in construction management to Civil Engineer Corps Officers assigned to Naval Construction Battalions. The Naval Construction Force NFC was established during World War II to provide engineering and construction support of U.S. combat forces. Today the NCF has multiple missions. The war time support mission and peace time construction are the two primary roles. This paper addresses primarily the peace time construction mission.
