 CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT

OPERATION VS. PROJECT

► Organizations perform work. Work involves
either operation or projects.
► Common characteristics:
 Performed by people
 Constrained by limited resources
 Planned, executed and controlled
► Operations are ongoing and repetitive
► Projects are temporary and unique

 CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT

CHARACTERISTICS OF A PROJECT
► Definition: A project is a temporary endeavor
undertaken to create a unique product or service.
► Projects are implemented as a means to achieve
organization’s strategic plan
► Projects are a means to respond the requests that
operations can’t handle
► Projects may involve a single unit of an organization
or may cross organizational boundaries (joint
ventures, partnering)
► Duration ranges from a week to couple of years

 CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Examples of Projects
► A market demand (e.g., a car company authorizes a project to build
more fuel efficient cars in response to gasoline shortages).
► A business need (e.g., a training company authorizes a project to
create a new course to increase its revenues).
► A customer request (e.g., an electric utility authorizes a project to build
a new substation to serve a new industrial park).
► A technological advance (e.g., an electronics firm authorizes a new
project to develop a video game player after advances in computer
memory).
► A legal requirement (e.g., a paint manufacturer authorizes a project to
establish guidelines for the handling of toxic materials).
► A social need (e.g., a nongovernmental organization in a developing
country authorizes a project to provide sanitation education to low-
income communities suffering from high rates of cholera).

CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS (cont.)

► In a typical modern society, construction industry
is responsible for about half of physical asset
creation.
► The creation of assets is the principal force in the
dynamics of cities and change (social and
economic) in the built environment

efficiently, so that they meet the needs of clients
who make investments, to provide a net gain to
the economy and society for which they are
created.

WHAT IS PROJECT MANAGEMENT?

► Project management is the discipline of
organizing and managing resources in such
a way that these resources deliver all the
work required to complete a project within
defined scope, time, and cost constraints.

OBJECTIVES OF PROJECT
MANAGEMENT
► To ensure that a project is delivered within the
defined constraints.
► To optimize allocation and integration of the
inputs needed to meet the pre-defined objectives.
► The project, therefore, is a carefully selected set
of activities chosen to use resources (time, money,
people, materials, energy, space, provisions,
communication, quality, risk, etc.) to meet the
pre-defined objectives.
