Construction Project Management: An Integrated Approach is a
management approach to leading projects and the effective choice
and use of project management tools and techniques. It seeks to
push the boundaries of project management to take on board future
needs and user issues. Integration of the construction project,
meaning closer relations between the project team, the supply chain
and the client, is long overdue; however, despite some signs of
growth in this area, the industry nonetheless remains fragmented in
its approach. The role of the project manager is to integrate
diverse interests and unify objectives to achieve a common goal.
This has now broadened to include a responsibility, on the parts of
both client and team, to ensure that construction addresses current
and future societal needs. From an economic perspective, a great
deal of waste is connected with conflict, thus a holistic approach
that increases the efficiency and effectiveness of the task at hand
will inject energy into project management. This third edition now
takes on board the impact of technology in building information
modelling and other digitised technologies such as artificial
intelligence. Together, they open up avenues for more direct and
incisive action to test creative design, manufacture directly and
communicate spontaneously and intuitively. In time, such
technologies will change the role of project managers but will
never take away their responsibility to be passionate about
construction and to integrate the team. A new chapter has been
added that considers future societal needs. This edition is also
reordered to make the project life cycle and process chapters
clearer. This book combines best practice in construction with the
theories underpinning project management and presents a wealth of
practical case studies - many new. It focuses on all construction
disciplines that may manage projects. The book is of unique value
to students in the later years of undergraduate courses and those
on specialist postgraduate courses in project management and also
for practitioners in all disciplines and clients who have
experienced the frustration caused by the fragmentation of
construction projects.
