From beginning to end, a general contracting company relies on a construction manager to oversee the planning, design, and implementation of a project. Construction management is adopted to control the costs spent on a project, the timeliness of the delivery, and the quality delivered.
Construction management defines the plan for a building and construction project while specifying objectives, scope, scheduling, budgeting, in addition to selecting the project participants.
Construction management is necessary for all types of construction and structural design services, whether agricultural, residential, commercial, industrial, civil, environmental, or institutional. It is important that the building company define the reasons behind the need for the project, the goal of the project, the most suitable structural design services to be applied, and the budget and time scope.
Architects and engineers participate with the construction manager in the planning phase to study the feasibility of the project. The preconstruction phase involves the completion of construction contracts and drawings.
The construction phase involves site investigations, safety monitoring, quality inspection, budget management, and monitoring the progression of the building and construction project till it is accomplished.
Causes of failure of a construction management plan can be a miscalculated deadline for delivery, lack of coordination, lack of professional skills in the implementation, inaccurate cost estimation, or the use of poor techniques.
Finally, newly introduced software is used by the best construction companies to transform the design and management process to help construction managers do a better job.
