ABSTRACT
Construction Project Management presents the methodologies and procedures adopted for the planning and monitoring of individual projects, the technical and communication skills of Project Managers. At a corporate level, the assessment of Project Management capabilities is based on the specific strengths and weaknesses revealed in the aforementioned areas. Companies operating in the construction area represent a peculiar case among manufacturing companies. Cleland and King (1988) provide their personal example of construction project life cycle, such as Feasibility technical hypothesis formulation, project and feasibility study. This stage is concluded by the judgement on the projects feasibility. Risk management includes all actions required to address possible unforeseen events that may influence the performance of the project. Project schedules, based on the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) properly defined for each project, are planned taking primarily into account activity durations and precedence constraints. Project planning is inherently a unique effort due to the limited degree of standardization of construction products and processes.
