1.Project Management in construction Industry
1. Construction Industry
•
•
•
•
One of the oldest and largest industries
Provides employment on large scale
Mechanization have become part and
parcel of construction
Mechanization – reduced time of
construction, reduced number of people
engaged and improved quality of
construction
2. Construction Industry
•
•
•
Mechanization – construction of high rise
buildings, dams, metro rail, cable stayed
bridges, high chimneys. etc. easily
possible
Scientific tools like Construction
Management techniques are used in
developed countries
Developing countries still continue with
traditional labour-intensive style of
construction
3. Construction Industry
•
•
•
Traditional system is time- consuming
and does not match quality requirements
If construction project schedules are not
maintained, the cost increases
Thus, the use of plants and machinery and
the adoption of the latest construction
management methods should be the
essential features of construction
industries in modern times
5. A Construction Project
•
•
PMBOK (Project Management Book of
Knowledge) defines project as a
temporary endeavor undertaken to provide
a unique product or service.
The product in construction industry –
buildings, infrastructure and so on
6. A Project
• A project consists of three components:
scope (the work to be accomplished),
budget and schedule

13. The Owner
• The owner may be a person or a group of
persons acting as a corporate body such
as a local government authority or a
government department, a company, a
corporation or any other authority
possessing adequate powers
14. The Owner
•
•
The Owner or the promoter decides to
undertake the project after a detailed
analysis of the costs and the payment
schedule
Payment made by the owner has to be
regular and in line with the progress of the
work
15. The Owner
•
•
•
To maintain the flow of money the owner
may utilise his own resources or borrow
money from other sources
The money arranged and spent for the job
is known as “capital investment”
The owner is expected to arrange for the
supply of power and water to the
construction site
16. The Consultant
•
•
The consultant/ engineer or architect is a
person or a group of persons or a
company who gives the owner the
technical advice for the project
Functions – to design, to do the necessary
research for the design, to provide the
calculation for the cost, to appraise the
owner about the pros and cons of the
project
17. The Consultant
•
•
•
The consultant should impress the owner
in a manner that the owner can rely on him
regarding all technicalities of the project
He must be well-trained in quality and
workmanship requirements
He must supervise the construction
regularly
18. The Contractor
•
•
•
A civil engineering contractor is a person
or a company who undertakes the
construction
He offers to do the job for a given sum of
money
When his tender is accepted he signs a
contract with the owner to undertake the
construction
19. The Contractor
•
•
He must have the skill and competence to
execute the work exactly as the owner
wants and the consultant advises
He is to do the construction as per the
drawings, specifications and instructions
issued to him by the consultant
20. Project Management
• PMBOK defines Project Management as
the application of knowledge, skills, tools
and techniques to a broad range of
activities to meet the requirements of the
particular project.
21. Project Management
•
•
Project management may be defined as
the art and science of coordinating people,
equipment, materials, money and
schedules to complete a specified project
on time and within approved cost.
The limited resources have to be utilized
within a given time under conditions of
uncertainty, so as to derive the maximum
benefit in terms of construction output.
22. Why Construction Project
Management?
•
•
There is probably no other discipline that is
more difficult than construction project
management
General goal of a construction project
seems simple enough – building a project
on time. Within budget, with the stated
quality standards and in a safe environment
23. The project manager aims to achieve his
mission by
Managing – Time and progress
Cost and cash flow
Quality and performance
Organization behaviour
With - Organization resources
24. By - Planning resources
Scheduling resources
Organizing resources
Directing resources
Monitoring resources
Controlling resources
Within - Quality constraints
Time constraints
Cost constraints
Environmental constraints
26. 1. Planning
•
•
•
Planning is the formulation of a course
of action to guide a project to completion
It starts at the beginning of the project
and continues throughout the life of the
project
Establishment of milestones and
consideration of possible constraints are
major parts of planning
27. Planning
•
•
The managerial function of deciding
what to do, when to do and how to do is
known as planning
The planner relies on sound judgment
based on knowledge, experience and
mathematical or statistical methods
28. Planning
•
•
•
•
Planning involves –
Defining objectives of the project
Listing the tasks or jobs that must be
performed
Determining requirements for materials,
manpower and machinery
Preparing estimates of costs and
durations for the various jobs or activities
29. Planning
• Planning also takes care of the likely
uncertainties in execution due to various
unpredictable factors such as the weather,
material shortage, price fluctuations,
labour absenteeism, etc.
30. 2. Organizing
•
•
•
It is the arrangement of resources in a
systematic manner to fit the project plan
Creation of capable and responsible
organizational set up for the execution of
planned activity
Type of organization would depend upon
the type and volume of work
31. 3. Staffing
•
•
•
•
It is the selection of individuals who have
the expertise to produce the work
People are the most important resource
on a project
People provide the knowledge to design,
coordinate, and construct the project
Numerous problems are solved by people
32. 4. Directing
•
•
•
It is the guidance of the work required to
complete the project
Staff must be developed into a team
Each person must be collectively directed
in a common effort and a common
direction
33. Directing
•
•
Involves Leadership, Communication,
Motivation and Supervision
Achieved by establishing effective
communication between the employees
and the management to create awareness
of the planned programmes and the
methods to be adopted for their
implementation
34. 5. Controlling
•
•
•
It is the establishment of a system to
measure, report, and forecast deviations in
the project scope, budget and schedule
Purpose of project control is to determine
and predict deviations in a project so
corrective actions can be taken
It is the most difficult function of project
management
36. 6. Motivating
•
•
•
•
Important task of the management is to get the
work done by the subordinates and achieve
results
This depends mainly on whether a person has
been motivated to do it
Motivating a person is to create awareness to
excel his performance
This can be done by creating in him a sense of
responsibility and feeling of special interest in
his work

43. Steps involved in
Project Management
1. Project Planning /Time Panning–
Planning is a predetermined course of
action to achieve a specific goal. It
means deciding in advance what to do,
how to do it, when to do it and where to
do it
44. Steps involved in
Project Management
i.
ii.
Steps involved in Project /Time Planning:
Time plan: It depicts the schedule of
project activities for completion of the
project within a specified time
Resource plan: it forecasts the required
input resources of men, materials,
machinery and money for achieving the
completion time target and cost objective
45. Steps involved in
Project Management
iii. Plan for controlling project: It involves
the design of control system, monitoring
system
Planning can be done by using bar-charts,
milestone charts, CPM and PERT
techniques
46. Steps involved in
Project Management
2.
•
•
Project Scheduling: Scheduling means
putting the plan on calendar basis.
To schedule the activities to determine
commencement and completion dates
using optimum resources
A time schedule is a time table of work
47. Steps involved in
Project Management
3.
•
•
Project Controlling: Project Control
involves reviewing the deviation between
schedule and actual performance once the
project has begun
designing accounting and monitoring
methodology
developing information systems so as to
make decisions speedily
48. Steps involved in
Project Management
•
•
•
identifying the problem areas
making risk-taking decisions to tackle
these problems
organizing and directing resources to
carry out these decisions and measuring
the results of these decision against
targeted expectations
49. Project Life Cycle
•
•
Each project has a predetermined duration
with a definite beginning and an
identifiable end.
Its starting point is the time when the idea
is convinced by the client and its end
marks the time when the mission is
accomplished.
50. Project Life Cycle
• The time span between the start and
completion of a project represents the
project life cycle, which varies from few
months to few years.

52. Project Life Cycle
•
•
Although construction projects differ in
many ways, the life span of a project
follows a similar pattern.
As shown in the figure, after conception
there is a gradual build-up in the use of
resources, it is followed by a long-duration
plateau and towards the end, there is a
rapid run-down till completion.
53. Stages of the life cycle of a project
• Formulation Stage –
Project idea conception
- Feasibility studies
- Investment appraisal
- Project definition
54. Stages of the life cycle of a project
• Mobilization stage –
Project preliminary plan
- Designs & drawings
- Specifications & Contract agreement
- Resources mobilization
55. Stages of the life cycle of a project
• Construction Stage –
- Planning and controlling execution
- Inducting resources
- Construction and commissioning
- Final handling over to the client
Project manager is the key participant in all
these stages and acts as a catalyst who
motivates the participants for achieving the
stage objectives.
