With the advent of volumetric private investment in the construction sphere, the construction process itself begins to more and more streamlined. The competition between the developers, the competition for the investor requires the raising of quality, and what is impossible without competent and structured construction management.
Stages of project management in construction
Like any project, construction begins with a competent description and coordination of the idea or the very subject of the project. This stage is also called the development of the concept. Here is the answer to the question “why this idea (project) will be interesting to the investor?»Possible risks are evaluated, a project estimate is compiled, all kinds of technical specifications and presentations are being developed. An approximate schedule of work is also compiled.
If the investor has found the project attractive, the stage of developing the project documentation begins. It conducts work related to preparation for the construction of the facility: from its approval in the authorities and obtaining permits for construction, choosing contractors, and tenders. Logistic and communication chains necessary to ensure the project by resources are exhibited. Determined for a particular front of the work are determined, an estimate and budget are drawn up, as well as a project financing plan. In the end, all this grows into a package of documents according to the integrated plan for managing the object.
Finally, the stage of implementation of the project comes into life, based on the previously received plan. All tasks and functions of the project are redistributed between three main subjects:
the general contractor (is responsible for any tasks related directly to the construction, provision of materials and resources, coordination of work on the construction site, work with subcontractors, etc. D.),
a technical customer (any legal and legal nuances related to the approval and coordination of work in power structures, as well as the issues of technical and environmental passportization of the facility)
technical supervision (quality control and reception of the work on the part of performers and subcontractors, tracking the implementation of safety standards, preparation of executive documentation, participation in the commission to transfer the finished facility)
As a result, the customer has not only a fully finished and accepted object of the object, but also all the necessary executive documents
Features of management in construction
Management of diligent objects differs from any others due to the features of the control object. Not only are there several such objects, they can also be territorially located in different parts of the country, if not a world.
Secondly, these objects are motionless. Real estate is assigned to the territory on which to be, therefore, factors that are not taken into account in other areas come into force: climate, weather, seasonality, etc. D. Hence the impossibility of making “typical” decisions follows. In each case, an individual work plan is being developed.
Thirdly, the material consumption of construction makes you make great efforts in the field of logistics: supplying materials and resources, as well as their storage.
The construction cycle can occupy for more than one year, in addition, this area is considered quite capital -intensive. Without competent embedding long -term partnerships in it there is nothing to do.
In addition, construction is characterized by a large number of interconnected objects and subjects of management. From contractors and subcontractors, to investors and customers. Moreover, they can often perform similar functions.
