ë the management of construction projects requires knowledge of modern

management as well as an understanding of the design and construction
process

ë While the relevant technology, institutional arrangements or processes will

differ, the management of such projects has much in common with the
management of similar types of projects in other specialty or technology
domains

ë Generally, project management is distinguished from the general

management by the mission-oriented nature of a project

8
 

ë project management is the art of directing and coordinating human and

material resources throughout the life of a project by using modern
management techniques to achieve predetermined objectives of scope, cost,
time, quality and participation satisfaction

ë general management assumes a broader outlook with greater continuity of

operations

ë there are sufficient similarities as well as differences between the two so that
modern management techniques developed for general management may
be adapted for project management

ë Specifically, project management in construction encompasses a set of

objectives which may be accomplished by implementing a series of
operations subject to resource constraint

ë There are potential conflicts between the stated objectives with regard to
scope, cost, time and quality, and the constraints imposed on human
material and financial resources

ë These conflicts should be resolved at the onset of a project by making the

necessary tradeoffs or creating new alternatives

ë Subsequently, the functions of project management for construction

generally should ensure these conflicts are monitored and successfully
resolved throughout the life of the project
