8. MANAGEMENT
The art and science of controlling human resources,
equipment, materials, cash flow and schedule to complete a
project within a specified time and approved cost efficiently
and effectively.
Various activities involving the organization at multi-level of
the number of individuals.
The function of getting things done through other people.

9. CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT
Study and practice of the managerial and technological
aspects in construction industry.
E.g.: construction, construction science, construction
management and construction technology.
May also serve as a consultant, providing both design and
technical construction advice.
awang295@sarawak.uitm.edu.my
10. FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT
Sequential Function
Occur in sequence
Includes planning, organizing, staffing, directing
and controlling (POSDC)
Output or result of an activity is measured
Necessary corrective action will be proposed
Appears in cycle
MOSTLYOCCUR DURING CONSTRUCTION STAGE
ContinuousFunction
Problem analysis, decision-making
and communicating
Throughout the management processes
rather than any particular sequence
Manager must have effective communication skill
MOSTLYOCCUR DURING DESIGN STAGE

13. PLANNING
Who conducts Planning?
Planner or Manager.
One who directs the work of others
and who does his work by getting
other to do theirs.
‘People at the top’.
awang295@sarawak.uitm.edu.my
14. PLANNING
The formulation of a course of action
(objectives) to guide a project to
completion.
Resources planning management
including time, cost, equipment,
manpower and schedule.
Use Master Work Programme to
breakdown the main activities (Task)
into smaller activities (Sub-Task).
awang295@sarawak.uitm.edu.my
15. PLANNING
5 Steps Involved In Planning Process.
Identification of objective desired.
Expression of the objective (time).
Assessment of resources (available
vs. required).
Establishment of the most
economical method (objective + time
+ resources).
Specify the allocations of
responsibilities.
awang295@sarawak.uitm.edu.my
16. ORGANIZING
The process of assigning tasks,
allocating resources and arranging
coordinated activities to implement
plans.
Establishing the organizational
structure.
Defining responsibilities of each
department.
Establish relationship between
individual/department to others.
awang295@sarawak.uitm.edu.my
17. STAFFING
Control selection of individuals who
have the expertise to produce the
work.
People are the most important
resource as they provide the
knowledge to design, coordinate and
construct the project.
Consists of assigning human
resources, work progress evaluation,
promoting and suspending human
resources.
awang295@sarawak.uitm.edu.my
18. About Planning,
Organizing and Staffing
PLANNING, ORGANIZING and STAFFING are THE MOST
INTER-RELATED processes in performing planning
management.
This can be identified when preparing the Master Work
Programme either via Excel worksheet or Microsoft
Project or Primavera.
awang295@sarawak.uitm.edu.my
19. DIRECTING
Process of directing, issuing
orders/instructions to the human
resource efforts with guidance of work
for project completion.
Important skills required;
communication, motivation, decision
making, problem solving, supervision
and public relation.
Influencing others' behaviour,
leadership and discipline.
Steps include staffing, training,
supervising, delegating and motivating.
awang295@sarawak.uitm.edu.my
20. Training: teaching individuals and groups how
to fulfill their duties and responsibilities.
Supervising: giving others day-to-day
instruction, guidance as required so that they
can fulfill their duties and responsibilities.
Delegating: assigning work, responsibility and
authority so others can make maximum
utilization of their abilities.
Motivating: encouraging others to perform by
fulfilling or appealing to their needs.
DIRECTING
Steps Involved In Directing Process
Staffing: seeing that a qualified person is
selected for each position.
awang295@sarawak.uitm.edu.my
21. CONTROLLING
Establish a system to measure, report and
forecast outcome/corrective actions in
project scope, budget, schedule.
Requires the continual reporting of
information in a timely manner to have
direct management respond.
Most difficult tasks.
Steps; determine standard and progress,
progress evaluation, establish verification
system, corrective plan.
Ensures that plans are being
implemented properly (influence
schedule, cost, quality, etc.).
awang295@sarawak.uitm.edu.my
22. CONTROLLING
3 steps process of measuring progress
towards an objective, evaluating what
remains to be done and taking the
necessary corrective action to achieve or
exceed the objectives as follow:-
Measuring: determining through formal
and informal reports the degree to which
progress toward objectives is being made.
Evaluating: determining cause of and
possible ways to act on significant
deviations from planned performance.
Correcting: taking control action to
correct an unfavourable trend or to take
advantage of an unusually favourable
trend.

23. Other Related Examples
Construction of Housing Area (RM 500,000,000 in 2 years duration).
During design stage, most of the problems that are expected will be
analyzed and communicated thoroughly so that the project is able to run
smoothly. However, continuous function does not necessarily stop there. It
depends on the project progress.
Planning – Planning and preparing for architectural drawing, engineering
design, budget and assess any other related items required to complete the
project.
Organizing – Delegating tasks between personnel and department required
such as project manager, material supplier, contractor etc.
awang295@sarawak.uitm.edu.my
24. Other Related Examples
(Cont.)
Staffing – Recruiting and selecting the required person for the right job such
as licensed lorry driver to drive a lorry and general worker to do various
construction job including concrete casting.
Directing – Project Manager will play the vital role here to ensure everyone
feels motivated to complete the project and accomplish their tasks
throughout the project lifecycle.
Controlling – Ensure that labours are working accordingly to their schedule
without having to extend the original plan and complete the overall project
within the limited budget and specified time.
