Project Control During Construction 7. Construction Project Management: Stressful and Challenging 8. Construction Project Planning Techniques
Summary: Construction project management is run by a construction project manager. This person is tasked with the planning, coordination, budgeting and supervision of the construction project. Project management is the basis on which every construction project is founded. A construction project manager has to obtain a variety of skills and competencies in order to navigate through the project and to establish a functional connection with the numerous teams. Construction Projects describes the key issues pertaining to success and failure of construction projects. Typically, construction projects have been infamous for time overrun, cost escalation, quality deterioration and scope compromises. In brief, construction project management is the process of managing construction projects. But when you're talking about managing a construction project in comparison to other types of projects, the distinction is mostly that construction is mission-based. That means that the project's organization ends with the end of the project build. Construction project management typically includes complicated tasks that can shift wildly, depending on the work at hand, and it requires strong skills in communication, deep knowledge of the building process, and the ability to problem-solve. Construction project management is a complex field, requiring knowledge in many different areas like finance, mediation, law, business, and more. P[roject management is the art of directing and coordinating human and material resources throughout the life of a project by using modern management techniques to achieve predetermined objectives of scope, cost, time, quality and participation satisfaction. To that extent this handbook does elaborate the relevant interface that maybe critical for comprehensive project management approach.
