CORE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
MANAGEMENT PROCESSES

• The initiation phase. The project manager will assign—or ask for
team members to volunteer—to complete specific tasks.
• The planning phase. The team agrees on a schedule with the
client or among themselves for the project. The team may also
create a communication schedule with key stakeholders,
determine the project’s standards and set a budget during this
phase.
• The execution phase. This phase is where the work gets done.
Employees may work independently or as a team on tasks that were
determined during the previous phases.
• The monitoring phase. The project manager monitors each person or
team’s progress along the way to ensure the project is on track to
meet the overall deadline and achieve its goals. This phase often
happens simultaneous to the execution phase.
• The closing phase. Finally, the project manager ensures the team
completed the project to the agreed-upon standards and
communicates that the team completed the project.
