Significance of Construction Management

Under Developed to Developing country through major infra-projectssuch as multipurpose river valley projects, industrial developmentprojects, NHDP projects, Irrigation Canal projects, Railway Projects, Portdevelopment projects etc.,

On an average about 50% of the total expenditure of our 5year plans isinvested in construction works

Construction is an everlasting activity across the globe

Every sector of our economy involves construction activities

Construction is a major economic activity in India (7% GDP) and playingimportant role in the development of the country


6/28

Construction industry Provides employment on largescale (31.5million manpower in 2005)

If construction project schedules are not maintained, thecost increases

Use of machine and equipments in construction industry

increases the quality of construction

The art of construction has slowly developed as a sciencethrough ages. In our country, building construction in

rural and semi-urban areas is more or less an art



7/28

India is still developing country (scope forconstruction)

The input of the labor, capital, machinery and rawmaterials can never become production withoutthe catalyst of management

In order to ensure that the huge resourcesinvested in the construction industry aredeployed efficiently for the benefit of society itneeds construction management professionals

Construction management or construction project

management (CPM) is the overall Planning, Coordination, and

Control of a project from Inception to Completion aimed at

Economy by the Engineer

1. By incorporating components/materials in the design which arelocally available

2. By avoiding special equipments not available in the country

3. Using standard or similar sections (modular coordinationtechniques)

4. By giving full details/specs and eliminating wrong partsprocurement

5. Having a trained and experienced supervisory staff

6. By providing all necessary documents to avoid delays
