The World Bank and some international financial institutions require countries receiving loans to apply the ideas, organizations, methods and means of project management to organize and implement engineering projects. This has played an important role in promoting the introduction of project management in China since the early 1980s.

1983 The former State Planning Commission proposed to implement the project manager responsibility system in the early stage of the project. 1988 introduces the construction project supervision system; 65438-0995 The Ministry of Construction issued the Measures for the Qualification Management of Project Managers in Construction Enterprises, and implemented the project manager responsibility system. In 2003, the Ministry of Construction issued the Notice on Issues Related to the Transition from Project Manager Qualification Management System to Construction Engineer Qualification System in Construction Enterprises.

Encourage enterprises with engineering survey, design, construction and supervision qualifications to enrich project management professionals by establishing an organization and project management system that is suitable for project management business, and carry out corresponding project management business within the scope of projects permitted by their qualification levels in accordance with relevant qualification management regulations.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, industrialized countries began to apply the theories and methods of project management to the field of construction engineering, and set up a major related to project management in universities around the mid-1970s. The application of project management is first applied in the owner's project management, and then gradually popularized among contractors, designers and suppliers.
