Construction Project Management Processes
To guide projects from start to finish construction project management requires a wide range of abilities, as well as the capacity to communicate with various organizations and individuals. Throughout each stage of the project life cycle, construction project managers must adhere to construction management phases:
- Planning - The construction manager plays a crucial role in the planning phase of a construction project. They work closely with architects, engineers, and other retained consultants to evaluate the feasibility of project objectives and identify potential obstacles that may arise during the construction process. This allows the team to proactively address any issues and ensure a smooth and successful outcome.
- Preconstruction - Early blueprints are submitted for building permits during preconstruction. Contracts for construction management, plans, and specifications may fall under this category.
- Construction - You are now prepared to begin the build! But first, schedule a preconstruction meeting to discuss the start and end times of the project, material storage, quality assurance, and site access. Get everybody to the building location, and then procede as necessary. A payment schedule and a method of payment delivery must be established. Transparency in this area is a necessity to prevent miscommunications between you and your contractors, make sure your work orders are sufficiently comprehensive.
- Close-Out - All project information, including manuals, warranties, as-builts, and closed-out ledgers, must be given to the owners. Additionally, insurance must be switched from construction-related insurance to permanent property insurance.
Effective construction management abilities are required to finish construction projects on schedule and, within budget. Staying cost-effective and competitive in the building and construction industry requires businesses to have key competencies in managing risk, coordinating job sites, and controlling costs.
