"Construction Project Management: A Harmony of Art and Science" Construction, far from being merely steel and concrete, is a delicate balance between creativity, efficiency, and management. At the heart of this intricate process lies Construction Project Management, a discipline that merges the inherent creativity of construction with the scientific rigor of management. In the dynamic universe of construction, each project is a microcosm filled with challenges and opportunities. From conceptualization to final delivery, Construction Project Management acts as the guiding thread that steers every stage of this journey. But what does it exactly entail to lead a construction project? Essentially, Construction Project Management is the process of planning, executing, and overseeing all aspects of a project. It's an art that demands vision and creativity, coupled with rigorous science ensuring the efficient and successful delivery of a structure. The fundamental pillars of this discipline are: Strategic Planning: It begins with robust strategic planning, encompassing clear goal definition, risk assessment, and the creation of a realistic schedule. Resource Management: Coordinating the work of architects, engineers, contractors, and other professionals is an art in itself. Real-Time Problem Solving: The ability to address and resolve issues in real-time sets an effective project manager apart. The project manager acts as the master of ceremonies, directing the symphony of talents and resources toward the realization of a vision. Their ability to lead, communicate effectively, and make informed decisions is vital for project success. Ultimately, Construction Project Management is the amalgamation of discipline and creativity, where every decision matters, and every detail counts. It's the art and science of transforming architectural dreams into tangible structures, and the project manager is the creator of this process. #ProjectManagement #CreativeConstruction #EfficientConstruction #LeadershipInConstruction #CreativeEngineering #ProjectSuccess #PMO #ProjectPlanning #LeadershipInProjects #ConstructionManagement

"Not good enough. Do it again.” Every year, construction industry is wasting billions on poor project management and lack of collaboration between the parties involved. Rework is a major burden costing 4-6% of annual constructions budgets. Here’s the impact: 🔸Financial: Estimated annual costs reach $177 billion. 🔸Productivity: Approximately 30% of the work done at job sites involves rework. 🔸Sustainability: Out of the total 2 billion tons of construction&demolition waste generated annually, rework is estimated to represent a major portion. According to surveys, most common causes of rework include: 🔹Poor project controls 🔹Inadequate documentation 🔹Insufficient planning These are the areas that Privv is built to solve. With improved task management, collaboration, version control, budgeting, and procurement, all parties have access to best practices and up-to-date documentation. We significantly improve communication and collaboration across the entire process, from Predesign to Closeout, while keeping the data centralized and safe. Feel free to reach out for a demo. — Ps. 📸 Big thanks to our beta user team of the country’s leading capifal project managers who are meeting us every week, and guiding us to build a tool that helps owners save time, money, and the planet.

Factors Influencing Construction Project Scheduling: 🔊🔊 It is well known that construction is an incredible game of risk. Before starting a construction project, proper planning and scheduling are needed to bring out the construction activities in a sequential manner. From my past experience as a project control lead, it was seen that internal and external problems will affect the actual accomplishment of the schedule then also scheduling is a vital part of project and most important part of every plan and in other words it is the timetable of work. It directs the managers in a right direction towards their goals. Framing inaccurate work schedules leads to unnecessary issues in the construction of project and this will result in uncertainties which will result in overruns of time on the project work. Timing resources utilization and reliability schedules have to cope up with the work plan and work schedules of the field survey. From the experience it has been seen that the critical factors that are influencing scheduling of different types of projects like residential, commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure in the construction industries in various parts of the world are as mentioned below. ✅ Planning Stage influencing factors: ▶ Formulation ▶ Design & Scope ▶ Clearances ▶ Implementation ▶ Finance ✅ Execution Stage influencing factors: ▶ Teams ▶ Resources ▶ Environment ▶ Safety ▶ Delay ▶ Conflicts ▶ Planning ▶ Price ▶ Time & cost ▶ External Scheduling of construction projects is an involvement exercise based on a number of parameters, attributes and various factors. Almost in all my project, during discussion with my team while preparation of master schedule, we have seen that these factors and attributes are to be judged and considered appropriately by involving expertise and experienced professionals since the involvement of professionals and stakeholders seems to be very important in making a successful project. Hence, my guidance & suggestion to team for maximum involvement of owner/clients & respective stakeholders during schedule finalization to avoid hick-up during execution stage. It is clearly understood that a knowledge map is required to know the sources of critical scheduling factors for the successful completion of the project. #projectmanagment #projectcontrols #projectplanning #construction
