starting and finishing points, undertaken by an individual or
organization to meet specific objectives within defined time
schedule, cost and performance (BSI, 1996)
What differentiate the construction industry from other industries
is that its projects are large, built on-site, and generally unique.
What is a
Project Objectives
Project? To ensure finishing and delivering the project on time
To ensure the delivery of the project within budget.
To ensure reaching the required level of quality, through reducing
errors, improving effectiveness, and applying the appropriate
control.
It is the overall planning, coordination, and
control of a project from beginning to completion.
It is aimed at meeting a client's requirement in
order to produce a functionally and financially
viable project.
What is The management of construction projects
requires knowledge of modern management
Construction principles as well as an understanding of the
design and construction process.
Project Project Constraints
Management? On time delivery at minimum cost and high
quality
However, it is practically difficult to achieve this.
The reduction of projects time involves increasing
cost (this could mean using extra labor and
equipment), or reducing quality of work.
The main aspects of construction management are:
What is construction scheduling

Construction quality control

Lifecycle
(Project
Development
Stages)

projects key controls are fully addressed and incorporated into the
project. If this stage is not performed well, it is unlikely that the
project is going to be successful in meeting the needs for which it
Project was undertaken.

Lifecycle Planning & Design: After the initiation stage is performed, the
projects WBS is designed in addition to all other projects
(Project documents which are prepared pre-construction. Occasionally, a
prototype of the final projects product is built and tested.
Development Execution: This stage includes the actual procurement of the
Stages) projects set plan or design.
Closing & Maintenance: The Closing includes handing the final
product over to the owner after the project is finished and the formal
acceptance is signed and published. The Maintenance, which is an
ongoing process, includes the correction of any errors have ever
been made during the projects execution.
