What Is Construction Project

Management?

Construction projects requires knowledge of modern management as

well as an understanding of the design and construction process.

Construction projects have a specific set of objectives and

constraints such as a required time frame for completion. While the

relevant technology, institutional arrangements or processes will

differ, the management of such projects has much in common with

the management of similar types of projects in other specialty or

technology domains such as aerospace, pharmaceutical and energy

developments.

Generally, project management is distinguished from the general

management of corporations by the mission-oriented nature of a

project. A project organization will generally be terminated when the

mission is accomplished. According to the Project Management

Institute, the discipline of project management can be defined as

follows:

Project 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.

By contrast, the general management of business and industrial

corporations assumes a broader outlook with greater continuity of

operations. Nevertheless, there are sufficient similarities as well as

differences between the two so that modern management techniques

developed for general management may be adapted for project

management.

The Basic Ingredients

The basic ingredients for a project management framework may be

represented schematically in the figure below. A working knowledge

of general management and familiarity with the special knowledge

domain related to the project are indispensable. Supporting

disciplines such as computer science and decision science may also

play an important role. In fact, modern management practices and

various special knowledge domains have absorbed various

techniques or tools which were once identified only with the

supporting disciplines. For example, computer-based information

systems and decision support systems are now common-place tools

for general management. Similarly, many operations research

techniques such as linear programming and network analysis are

now widely used in many knowledge or application domains.

Specifically, project management in construction encompasses a set

of objectives which may be accomplished by implementing a series

of operations subject to resource constraints. There are potential

conflicts between the stated objectives with regard to scope, cost,

time and quality, and the constraints imposed on human material and

financial resources. These conflicts should be resolved at the onset

of a project by making the necessary tradeoffs or creating new

alternatives. Subsequently, the functions of project management for

construction generally include the following:

1. Specification of project objectives and plans including delineation of scope,

budgeting, scheduling, setting performance requirements, and selecting project

participants.

2. Maximization of efficient resource utilization through procurement of labor,

materials and equipment according to the prescribed schedule and plan.

3. Implementation of various operations through proper coordination and control of

planning, design, estimating, contracting and construction in the entire process.

4. Development of effective communications and mechanisms for resolving

conflicts among the various participants.

Nine Distinct Areas

The Project Management Institute focuses on nine distinct areas

requiring project manager knowledge and attention:

1. Project integration management to ensure that the various project elements are

effectively coordinated.

2. Project scope management to ensure that all the work required (and only the

required work) is included.

3. Project time management to provide an effective project schedule.

4. Project cost management to identify needed resources and maintain budget

control.

5. Project quality management to ensure functional requirements are met.

6. Project human resource management to development and effectively employ

project personnel.

7. Project communications management to ensure effective internal and external

communications.

8. Project risk management to analyze and mitigate potential risks.

9. Project procurement management to obtain necessary resources from external

sources.

These nine areas form the basis of the Project Management

Institute’s certification program for project managers in any industry.
