TOPIC 1: IMPORTANCE OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT TO ARCHITECTS

The practice of overseeing every facet of a construction project while utilizing a

range of techniques and resources during the project's whole lifecycle is known as construction

management. In essence, it manages key project development phases like organizing, budgeting,

planning, scheduling, quality assurance, and safety, among others. It's crucial to remember that

efficient construction management may be extremely beneficial for all kinds of building projects. It

is essential to have processes and personnel in place that will oversee the entire project when

there are many moving components. One of construction management's main advantages is its

ability to structure processes so that projects and activities proceed as planned. This procedure

discourages fragmented processes and encourages the completion of tasks in a methodical

manner. The goal of construction management is to complete high-quality construction projects on

time and on budget while meeting safety regulations, owner expectations, and schedule

requirements. Establish processes and guidelines to ensure each construction project is

completed on time. To do this successfully, construction managers collaborate with the owner,

architect, engineer, general contractor, and other key project participants.

 On the other hand, is construction management important to architects? The answer is yes

and it’s very important. Architects typically start at the beginning of a construction project, helping

to take it from planning and ideation to completion and certification. The duties and education must

need to practice as an architect, along with the criteria that must be met. For architects,

construction management is essential to a project's successful completion. Planning, arranging,

and managing the resources required to get the intended result is helpful. Without effective project

management, architectural projects can quickly spiral out of control, resulting in missed deadlines,

overspent budgets, and poor-quality work. Buildings that are both aesthetically beautiful and

practical are the main objectives of architectural projects. Through meticulous planning and

execution of every phase, construction management guarantees that these objectives are

realized. It also guarantees that the project is finished on schedule and within the allocated

budget. Moreover, the success of any architect is largely dependent on their ability to manage

projects. These experts need to have the know-how and experience to manage big projects and

construction management from start to finish because of their regular tasks and obligations.

In conclusion, construction management is essential for architects. The function of the

architect can change depending on the project design, but this knowledge and expertise are vital.

This is due to the fact that an architect needs to be capable of overseeing both modest and major

design projects for their clients. These experts must perform a variety of tasks in order to be

effective and useful. They must therefore possess the abilities to see their undertakings through to

completion. To put it simply, an architect needs to be adept at scheduling client meetings,

supervising different design teams, managing contractors, assisting with communication, and

completing high-quality projects on schedule. When the architect has a knowledge about

construction management, it enables a construction project to be efficiently managed and

coordinated. If a building project is executed with a lack of cohesive communication and purpose,

this kind of outcome might not be possible.
