Construction Project Management and Benefits

Construction Project Management is the service of planning, implementing and supervising all the processes required for the completion of a construction project within the targeted time, quality and budget limits, in accordance with the wishes of the investor organization and the general company policy. A project manager manages all remaining processes on behalf of the investor, leaving only strategically important decisions to the discretion of the investor throughout the project.

As a result of the increase in the needs and awareness of the society with the developing technology in the 21st century, the new buildings to be built began to be designed in a much more complex way. With the effect of increasing competition among companies, construction companies tended to do better quality works in a shorter time and with less budget. Today, only professional Construction Project Management has become possible to manage these challenging and complex construction processes by staying within the triangle of cost, budget and quality. It should not be forgotten that each construction project has its own characteristics, each project has to be managed with its own project management. The most important point here is that the project management process starts even before the design phase and ends with the final acceptance and turnkey delivery. It is inevitable that the project management process that starts late or ends early will lead to a decrease in the overall efficiency of the construction.

Incidentally, it is impossible not to mention the benefits of Construction Project Management. To summarize them briefly;

Designing the building in accordance with the goals desired to be achieved
Completion of tender and contractor selection processes in the most accurate and fastest way,
Making the total cost and sub-costs suitable for the investor's budget by extracting the total cost and sub-costs in the most accurate way at the design stage and making changes when necessary
To ensure the overall quality targeted by the project, to detect and prevent any possible declines in quality.
