Project Management & Construction Supervision

WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES IN MANAGING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS?

As construction projects expand in both scale and complexity, number of stakeholders like EPCs, contractors and subcontractors get inevitably involved. This increases the likelihood of operational challenges caused due to lack of clarity in technical specifications, specific client requirements, regulatory requirements or coordination among various stakeholders to name a few. Concerns on reliable and safe construction also need to be addressed. Any lapse in this highly complex operational environment can lead to cost overruns, project delays and reputational damages.

Why is project management and construction supervision important?

Project management encompasses every stage right from feasibility and planning to execution and completion. It helps you get an understanding and definition of objectives, followed by the implementation of a strategy to achieve them. It enables you to direct and coordinate resources to ensure that the project goals are met. Project management and construction also involves expert supervision to ensure that clients get the technical quality they expect. Engaging an effective project management solution is critical to ensure that deliverables are completed in a timely and cost-effective manner.
