management is a major
groundwork process of job
sites. The phenomenon
transpires myths over the
years.
Myth
Actual construction can’t
be stopped anytime.
Fact
The project may not resume
due to financial concerns.
Myth
Meeting project schedule
indicates quality outputs.
Fact
Project success depends on factors
such as work ethics, communication
between client and suppliers.
Myth
Conduct project management
offsite (in the office).
Fact
Inspect job sites regularly,
and listen to feedback from workers.
Myth
Mobilization is easy and simple.
Fact
Each project and its challenges
differ from one another. Contractors,
architects, suppliers and clients vary,
and meet in a given period of time.
Myth
The project manager is a “walking
dictionary” of the assigned project.
Fact
Delegate tasks to people who
specialize on them respectively.
Check your construction
project management
practices, and re-align
these if needed.
Remember, be a leader!
