2. WHAT IS CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT?
- Construction management is a professional service that provides a project’s owner(s) with
effective management of the project's schedule, cost, quality, safety, scope, and function.
A capital project is made up of three parties (excluding the CM):
•The owner, who commissions the project and either funds the project directly or finances it
through a variety of methods.
•The architect/engineer, who designs the project.
•The general contractor, who oversees day-to-day operations and manages subcontractors.
WHAT IS PROJECT MANAGEMENT?
- Sequential completion of activities and task given in specific time and cost parameters with
standard specifications.

3. Computer applications in design phase of the project are very helpful.
During construction phase of the project, computer serves as a powerful
tool in organizing the three major areas:
1.LOGISTICS AND MATERIAL
2.CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
3.PROJECT SCHEDULING AND COST CONTROL.

4. Construction project management is an extremely hard and diverse set of
tasks. The scope of work increases in accordance with the project's
complexity and volume of data, encompassing all managerial functions,
organizational structures, methodologies, and instruments. Construction
project management software comes in a variety of forms because tools are
required to store and process the enormous volumes of data that can be
gathered.
The development of computer software for project management began with
the idea that mathematical, network-based analysis of large-scale projects
could reduce time and costs. In the late 1950s, techniques such as PERT
(Program Evaluation and Review Technique) and CPM (Critical Path Method)
provided a basis for the computer-aided management of projects. Since then
software tools have been developed with greater and greater functionality.

5. Software can support project managers in all of their tasks:
•COORDINATION
•DOCUMENTATION
•CONTROL
Coordination, documentation and control are closely related,
and project management software tools have to account of joint
data uses, exchanging data take between the tools as well as with
other applications, such as design or tender software. Clear
interfaces reduce unnecessary data collection and prevent
inconsistencies.

6. SCHEDULING SOFTWARE:
Construction scheduling software is used to plan, monitor and
control project progress. Buffers and the corresponding
critical path can be calculated based on process durations,
deadlines and relationships and appropriate resources can be
assigned. The results are usually displayed in the form of a Gantt
chart, network plan or list. By entering current data, the user is
able to automatically generate appropriate target-
performance comparisons.
Softwares are divided according to:

7. PROJECT COMMUNICATION SYSTEM:
Project communication systems support the coordination of a
construction project by providing a joint platform to all project
members for collaboration and information exchange. Usually, the
platforms are internetbased and data access can be governed by
different user authorizations and privileges. The range of functions
varies greatly. Some platforms simply provide a common data
store whilst others provide comprehensive media and workflow
support.

8. DIGITAL CONSTRUCTION DIARY:
Digital construction diaries range from simple templates for word
processors, to internet-based systems with complex data
structures. By integrating media such as photo documentation,
the cogency of the construction diary can be increased. Pictures
can prove especially useful to remote project team members.

9. COST CONTROL SOFTWARE:
Cost control software is based on capacity planning methods.
Resources are assessed according to cost information, such as the
charge-out rates for workers and equipment. By linking to the
project’s accounting software, budget figures can be compared
with actual figures. In addition, reports can be generated
automatically presenting a visualization of the processed data.
