 Construction generates more employment than any other sector

5. 5
CONSTRUCTION- INTERNATIONAL MARKET
 During 80’s middle east accounted for over 1/3 of global construction
market
 Asia and Africa held only 20% of global construction market
 Developed countries like USA, German, Russia have dominated in
construction of power and process plants which requires high degree
of sophisticated technology.
 Developing countries like south korea and India have concentrated
more on the repetitive and routine types of construction works.

Designed by specialist engineering firms financed by govt./public
sector
 Industrial Construction – construction of manufacturing, processing and
industrial plants like steel mills, petro refineries, factories etc.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES
6 Factors determines the outcome of the project
1. Size of project - number of tasks to be executed / quantities of work
2. Complexity of project – variety in the nature of task
3. Quality – accomplishing the task with standard specifications
4. Productivity - Planned effort for production / actual effort employed per unit
5. Completion time – speed with which the project to be executed
6. Cost – Expenditure which client has agreed

12. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
 If there is no repetition of task with unique quality and cost -12 units
 If there is repetition of 4 task then earliest completion time -6 units
 Increase in the repetition of similar tasks will increase the resource
productivity. Experience gained due to repetition will reduce the overall cost.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES
 In project pre-determined productivity standard, specified completion
time and construction cost become the project objectives
 Planning and controlling the project objectives of time, cost and
setting up of resource productivity standards to achieve the objectives
are the functions of project management
 The planning and controlling methodology employed
“ Project Management Techniques ”
is called
