This book discusses the development, process and participants of specific viewpoints of construction project management technology. This view is that the owner hopes to complete the project in time and economically. From this point of view, some methods have a far-reaching impact on the results of project management:
"Life cycle costs and benefits, from the initial planning, through the operation and disposal of facilities" and other related decisions. The owner has been concerned about this project from beginning to end. Construction cost can only represent a part of the whole life cycle cost.
If extra cost or delay occurs, the performance of one stage in the optimization process may be unfavorable to the whole. For example, the design process of saving money will be a false economy if the result is excessive construction cost.
Project management may be necessary among different experts, but good communication and coordination among participants is necessary to achieve the overall goal of the project. New information technologies can promote this process, especially the Internet and professional extranet.
The importance and value of continuous improvement of productivity. Therefore, it is always desirable to introduce new materials and automate the construction process, as long as it is cheap and has ideal performance.
The quality and performance of work is extremely important to the success of a project, because it is the result that the owner has to endure.
In essence, it pays attention to the cost-effectiveness of facilities construction from the perspective of owners, rather than the participants in the competition to provide services.
Although this book is devoted to project construction management from a certain angle, it is not only used by the owners and their direct representatives. By understanding the whole process, all participants can respond to the needs of the owners more effectively, promote their services in their own work and communicate with other participants. In addition, the specific technologies and tools discussed in this book (such as economic evaluation, scheduling, management information system, etc. ) can be easily applied to any part of the process.
A new organization method and technology, as an effective quality management method and technology beneficial to the whole project, has become the focus of attention. The first is encouragement rather than confrontation, with the spirit of joint efforts, partnership and achievements, and hostile relations. For example, we discussed the appropriate methods of risk assessment and the inevitable risks of facilities undertaken and built by appropriate participants. From the owner's point of view, time arrangement, data communication and quality assurance are of special significance, but they are inevitable for individual participants. Using computer-based technology and automation is also an opportunity to increase productivity in this process. One of the main goals of this book is to present modern management science in a unified way.
In the whole process of project management, the unified view of this book is different, and almost all other documents are about this issue. Most textbooks deal with special problems in this field, such as cost estimation, from the perspective of participants (such as construction managers or contractors). These documents reflect the division of different organizations and team building processes. Even a single major, such as civil engineering, has quite unique expert groups in sub-majors such as planning, design, management and construction. Lack of interest and attention also exists in almost all educational programs. Although professional knowledge may be crucial, especially when completing tasks, participants in this process should also understand the background and role of special tasks.
The purpose of this book is mainly to serve as a teaching material for senior undergraduates, and to start continuing education for graduate students or professionals in engineering design, architecture, construction or facility management. Examples and discussion choices remind readers that project management is a challenging, dynamic and exciting undertaking, not just a record of past practice. It should also be a useful talent who needs the latest reference of project management.
Chapter 65438 +0 to 3: Overview of current construction management and design process. Anyone who is interested in project management and construction should be interested. People don't need to have a detailed understanding of this single task or this part of technology. Individuals can read and understand the basic principles and principles that are not further elaborated in these chapters.
It is very useful to describe specific functions and project management techniques through the fourth chapter of 14. This part introduces the planning methods and requirements of the project, including risk assessment, cost estimation, prediction and economic evaluation. It is in this planning and design stage that significant cost savings can be achieved in the final construction and operation stage. It also involves issues such as contracting and service, financing bidding scheme and fund preparation, organization and communication, and ensuring the effective use of information. The report further discusses the technology of controlling time, cost and quality in the construction stage. It will be beneficial to offer courses such as economics (including cash flow analysis and discount), computer and probability statistics in engineering. In addition, it will be a useful attempt to obtain a personal computer spreadsheet or formula solving software. Chapter four, some questions for 14 readers. Many software programs can be used for this purpose, including spreadsheets and formula solutions. In some chapters, this problem can also be completed by any existing software suite for information management and engineering scheduling. But personal computers use this method, and there is no following text material. Every teacher can practice some missing materials in these chapters, if they think these materials are redundant for other courses or too advanced for their own courses.
We hope that students who begin to build project management will be prepared to take a comprehensive approach to emphasize their careers in this book. In addition, senior professionals in various fields may find even some unexpected surprises in this book. A high-level organizational decision-maker who is not directly involved in the project management process may find that, especially in chapter 1, the basic concept and principle of interest, through 3, the owner must pay for the construction of facilities, which is good or bad. If this book can meet even a small part of the commitments and affect the future of construction project management, our efforts will be rewarded.
For version 2.1(summer 2003), a new example, the number of updates and references has been inserted throughout the text. For example, there is a new discussion about lean building and green building. However, the basic structure and methods remain unchanged. The basic principles of project management are eternal here.
With the first and second editions of this book, many people are prepared. Our special thanks go to Burcu Akinci, William J Pavilion, Paolo Cristiano, Steven Fenves, Daniel rehak, Debbie Scappatura and Shirley Knapp. Iavor Costov, Tommy hendrickson, Kurt Yeske and Jae-jung are developing an online version of this book. This book also reflects the problems of many students and industry users, our challenges and the contributions of colleagues with my years of thoughts and experience. We thank all these people.
These books use many papers written by us and books published by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Materials are taken from footnotes, tables or charts from other sources. We are very grateful to these people for giving permission to our publishers and organizations.
