INTRODUCTION

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT IS AMALGAMATION OF TWO DIFFERENT STREAMS

WHICH ARE :

THE DISCIPLINE OF PLANNING,

THE PROCESS OF BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE ORGANIZING AND MANAGING THE
RESOURCES
INTRODUCTION
As per PMBOK
Construction management is the process of planning, coordinating, providing
monitoring and controlling of a construction project.
Construction Management
techniques include the design of
methods for achieving a
comprehensive process of
planning, directing, and
monitoring of construction
activities from inception to
completion in order to meet the
quality and safety goals of a
project.

A construction manager should have the ability to handle

TIME COST QUALITY RESOURCE

DECISION MAKING
MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT
DEFINITION AND IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGIES

The purpose of CM is to control a project's

time / delivery, cost and quality—sometimes
referred to as a project management
triangle or "triple constraints.
PERFORMANCE

OVERVIEW OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

In construction management project is a finite endeavor – must have a start
and end.
A project is a set of carefully defined activities along with resources
(human , materials , equipments and finishes and time etc) to achieve a
singular goal
OBJECTIVES OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Evolving a reputation Taking sound
for high quality decisions at different
workmanship management level

Completing the work Providing safe Creating an

within specified time working conditions organization that
and budget for staff and workers works as a team
EVOLUTION OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The project management developed from different field of application
including construction , engineering and defence

Project management basically started in 18th century with managing

resources and co ordination of activities but lacked schedule optimization
In 19th century the construction project management can be basically
seen the creation of the Transcontinental Railroad , civil war etc.

The fore father of project management is Henry Gantt

He invented Gantt charts were employed on major
infrastructure projects including the Hoover Dam and
Interstate highway system
EVOLUTION OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The 1950 is marked the beginning of the modern project management era. Before 1950 this project were
managed on an ad hoc basis using mainly grant charts and informal techniques and tools

After 1950 two more project scheduling models were developed namely PERT & CPM

By the 1960s there were many larger projects being put out for construction bids and under
construction. As a result, the idea began to be floated of a professional construction manager,
envisioned then as an entity which would replace the general contractor.

New procurement models were developed since 1970ies, regrettably much to getting a larger
financial control and profit possibilities

Quality came up as a new external driving force in the mid 1980, resulting in documented quality
systems.

A more global concern is since 1990, a focus on environment and sustainability.

ROLE OF CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AT PRESENT

The construction industry plays a key role in

both developed and developing
economies.

Global construction market to grow $8

trillion by 2030: driven by China, US and
India

The construction market in India will grow

almost twice as fast as China to 2030.
Source: Oxford Economics March 2018 issue

Building Construction is the largest

segment in the construction market with
almost 49% share of the market
worth $8452 billion.

The leading Construction companies are

AECOM, ATKINS, ACS, VINCI, China State
construction engineering ltd.
ROLE OF CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IN INDIA
ROLE OF CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IN INDIA
The construction industry at present is been the second largest industry in
India After Agriculture. Source: NSSO 66th Nationwide Survey, Planning Commission, Government of India
The use of new technologies and deployment of project management
strategies made is possible undertake the mega scale projects.
In these years the construction industry in India has faced many challenges
Be in respect of housing , environment power or natural hazards.

The first professional consultancy company, National Industrial

Development Corporation (NIDC), was set up in the public sector in 1954.

Subsequently, many architectural, design engineering and construction

companies were set up in the public sector (Indian Railways
Construction Limited (IRCL), National Buildings Construction Corporation
(NBCC), Rail India Transportation and Engineering Services (RITES),
Engineers India Limited (EIL),

Private sector (M N Dastur and Co., Hindustan Construction Company

(HCC), Ansals, L &T etc.).
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT VS PROJECT MANAGEMENT
They can be the same. One can manage a construction project.
However in most cases project management is dealing with a specific project from start
to finish.
Project management focuses on time and completion targets, budgets etc.

Construction management is more on the actual building site, focus on material and
build quality, staff management, health and safety of human resources etc.

Project manager is a planner... construction manager is more the doer.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT VS STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT

Construction Management should not be confused with strategic

management .

Construction management requires developing new methodology and

mechanism to ensure achieving goal within a limited time frame

Strategic Management has mere shared decision making and an unlimited

time schedule
QUICK RECAP
Construction Management is all about controlling the time , cost and
quality of a project

The Construction Management is been started in the times of world war

II and Modern Construction management is invented by Henry Grant.

The construction industry at present is been the second largest industry

in India After Agriculture.

The purpose of CM is to control a project's time, cost and quality

Construction Management Vs Project Management.
