Construction Site Management Overview Construction Project Management Overview The interrelation of knowledge areas as shown in Figure Accordingly: o general management, o project management, and o construction project management Construction Project Management Overview Construction Project Management (CPM) Construction site management is the process of orchestrating, supervising, and harmonizing all parts, including all activities, resources, and parties, involved in executing a construction project at a specific physical location. It serves as the backbone of the successful execution of construction projects. q It is the overall planning, coordination, and control of a project from beginning to completion. q It is aimed at meeting a client's requirement in order to produce a functionally and financially viable project. q The management of construction projects requires knowledge of modern management principles as well as an understanding of the design and construction process. q The application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements and to Complete the project on time and within budget without compromising quality.  Construction Project Management Overview The benefits Construction Project Management: -Optimize the schedule for proper organization and better planning, ensuring a smooth workflow and effective project development and completion. -Implement cost-effective measures to maintain an appropriate budget and avoid overspending. -Ensure compliance with the latest regulations, standards, and newest trends in the field to complete projects safely and achieve the most effective solutions. -Enhance leadership to improve communication, define tasks and responsibilities, and achieve the best possible results, eliminating factors that could lead to risk or damage.  CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW The project Management Triangle It is a project management model that shows that three constraints—time, scope and cost—all must be balanced in project management in order to deliver a quality final deliverable The objectives of Construction Project Management Construction project management entails effective management of construction project’s schedule, cost, quality, and scope so to meet client’s expectations.  Construction Project Management Overview History of construction management q Construction managers have played an important role since the rise of complex building projects. In early construction projects, an architect oversaw operations, but over time the manager role has gradually become more specialized, and more complex. q Into the Renaissance, individual architects began to be known for their designs, like Sir Christopher Wren of England. q Wren designed and built buildings in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, including the masterpiece St. Paul’s Cathedral, that help give London its rich countenance. q Wren had a scope of knowledge that would predict the types of skills needed on a complicated construction project, with expertise in advanced mathematics and physics, as well as in design. He was on his building sites every day overseeing every phase of the St. Paul’s Cathedral works.  Construction Project Management Overview History of construction management q The rules of project management began to take shape across corporate America around the time of World War II, and by the 1950s, they were guiding civil construction projects. q This meant that the phases and principles of managing a construction engineering project were now being applied to a variety of corporate projects. q More and more details of managing a construction project can be done digitally - software , and that trend is expected to grow. q Mobile-friendly technology and software are set to play a major role in the field, as a younger workforce is more comfortable with the technology, and it will allow the work to be managed and tracked from anywhere. History of construction management  CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW The difference between construction management and project management: The role of the construction manager (CM) can often be complex and full of responsibilities. On small projects, a Project Manager (PM) may complete the duties of a construction manager. On large projects, these two professionals often work together to create new buildings. Often Project Management & Construction Management are used interchangeably, likewise the meaning of construction and project management, but this isn’t the case.  CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW Although these roles share some similarities, there are some key differences between these two positions relating to: Phases: project management is concerned with all phases of the design process while construction management mainly comes into play when construction activities begin; Activities: the PM manages activities related to the design phases while the CM supervises on activities that take over during construction; Responsibilities: while the PM is mainly concerned with budget management, team management, and schedule monitoring on the other hand, the CM is responsible for managing expenses, planning and implementing an inspection plan, and managing any contingencies and changes along the construction process.  CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW Types of project construction work q Types of Construction Projects Construction work mainly includes anything is built and permanently attached to the ground. This includes different kinds of structures such as, multi-storey buildings, bridges, dams, roads, etc. q Generally, construction work is classified under one of the following categories: o Building construction work. [For example, residential complex, commercial towers, hospitals, malls, etc.] o Engineering construction work. [For example, dams, bridges, airports, highways, etc.] o Industrial construction work. [For example, petroleum structures, electric-power plant, water plants, etc.] o Specialized construction work. [For example, deep tunnels, wind turbines, etc.]  CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW Project resources q Any project’s resources can be classified as follows: 1. Time 2. Cost (Money) 3. Labor (Man-power) 4. Materials 5. Equipment (Machines) 6. Subcontractors q It is important to improve the application of any of the 4Ms: Money, Man-power, Materials, and Machines by optimizing how they are used. This optimization leads to increased efficiency (doing things right) and productivity (doing more with the same or fewer resources). As a result, the project can be completed on time, within budget, and to the desired quality standards.  CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW Stakeholders Stakeholders are persons or organizations who are actively involved in the project or whose interests may be positively or negatively affected by the performance or completion of the project. The role of stakeholders: Get project distributed information. Get notification of project plan changes. Are listed in the project team directory.  CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW Stakeholders The main Participants of the project q Each project, whatever is its type or what kind of construction involves, requires the participation of three main parties. q These participants are the Owner, Engineer/Designer, and Contractor. The figure shown below displays the relationship between each of these participants CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW The Construction Project Manager has the primary responsibility of Construction Management Construction managers are ultimately responsible for everything that happens on a construction site – from overseeing the entire structure down to delegating tasks, snag management and site handover. They handle the daily coordination of the construction project from beginning to end and make sure objectives are met.  CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW The following list covers just some of the construction manager’s responsibilities: -Planning efficient and timely monitoring and supervision systems; -Collaborating with all project stakeholders – clients, designers, contractors, etc. -Determining design requirements in terms of construction; -Developing and evaluating proposals and bids regarding construction materials, goods, equipment, and various services related to the construction workflow; -Preparing cost estimation and budget; -Managing and control quality and safety; -Scheduling regular inspections and managing project documentation. Thank you
