Change Management in Construction

This document discusses change management in the construction sector. It begins by defining change management and describing its importance in construction, which involves unpredictable conditions and time/resource constraints. It then covers the need for change management due to issues like cost overruns and schedule delays. The document outlines individual, team, organizational, and managerial levels of change management. It proposes a dynamic project model to help control change and resources through flexibility. Finally, it details the basic operations of planning, preparing, carrying out, and evaluating/controlling change, and addresses common problems like people, time, and resource issues.

What is change
management?
Change management is a structured approach to change in
individuals, teams, organizations and societies that enables the
transition from a current state to a desired future state.
Change management in
construction sector

 Construction work deals with a lot of resource allocation (in terms


of man, material, and machine) as well as time constraints. It
involves unpredictable conditions due to open work environment.

 Sometimes it is economical to adopt a change in management


and avoid rework on problematic tasks .

 The control tools used are network diagrams and process charts
which are not sufficient. Thus, a dynamic process model to control
change and manage resources is a necessity.
Need for change
management in construction
sector

 Construction rework cycle framework is not sufficient

 In spite of advances in construction equipment there are cost overruns and


chronic schedule delays.

 Involvement of unpredictable conditions are there thus a construction


process model must be capable of handling control issues

 Construction process model requires more flexibility in determining project


scope and work dependencies than other project development model.
Types of change
management
 Individual change management

 Organizational change management


Managerial change
processes

Note:-The change in task “X” can be intended(managerial) or unintended


(unintentionally – due to low work quality, poor conditions or external
factors) .Any change can lead to subsequent changes further.
Change and Rework
In construction “change option” (implementing managerial change) is
more common since “rework option” (implementing rework) is perceived
to have a bigger impact on construction performance than the change
option. By opting for change one can avoid rework on problematic tasks
which require more resources.
Difference between change
and rework
Approach to change
management in construction

Change management is very important


in the construction sector hence by
developing a dynamic construction
project model one can have effective
management and policy making both at
strategic and operational level.

When your strategy, execution and interactions are optimized, balanced


and integrated, then the three circles will overlap equally and this is the
desired state. This point of overlap is called the nucleus of sustainability
and it allows your organization to successfully implement change and
improvement programs. Our goal is to provide a dynamic project model
which will assist you in the continuous process of creating this alignment.
Generic process model of
change management
Dynamic project model
This is a dynamic project model developed with effective change
management and construction policy-making both at strategic and
operational level.
Basic operations involved
Plan for change:- Prepare for change:-
Anticipate problems Prepare people
People problems Schedule change
Time problems Allocate resources
Resource problems

Evaluate/Control change:-
Control time Carry out change:-
Control cost and performance Delegations to staff
indicators Motivation
What are people
problems?
One faces a lot of manpower problems during construction
operations. Thus an effective manager needs to:-

 Identify and remove restraining forces (Eg:- Unnecessary


workforce employed in wooden form working)

 Carry out the change (Eg:- Remove additional workforce )

 Freeze the situation by reinforcing the new behavior (Eg:-


Adopt aluminum formwork)
Combating time problems.
Time problems

Use of networks(Eg:- CPM Use of charting


network) techniques
(Eg:- Milestone bar chart
Plan operational sequencing ,time grid diagram etc.)
 Schedule time
Identify critical activities
 Allocate resources
Identify potential problems
 Monitor progress
Resource problems
 Use of budgetary control

 Plan cash flows

 Control expenditure

 Monitor performance indices

Apart from all this by allocation for proper resources and by


monitoring the progress regularly the resources can be utilized
judiciously and effectively.
