A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
At its core, project management in the construction industry refers to all processes needed to complete the job successfully. Many stakeholders must coordinate during the project lifecycle to plan and execute the job. This collaboration is necessary regardless of where each team member is working. Strong communication skills and deep industry-specific knowledge are mandatory to complete the job successfully.
Project leaders do not have time to hunt down and manually send documentation. Their time is better spent proactively handling the day-to-day demands of the project. However, disconnected systems for managing people, materials, and equipment make collaborating with others cumbersome and distract managers from project management. This inefficient and unnecessary process results in higher staff turnover, budget overruns, and endangers the project’s success. The longer it takes to relay project information to office staff and company leaders, the higher the likelihood that a critical issue will go unaddressed.
