Points To Be Considered In Construction Project Management

First of all, the project, which is the basis for project management, should be examined in detail. Design, bill of quantities and work schedule should be studied carefully.

In addition to that, by planning a workforce, the number of white-collar and blue-collar personnel should be determined. Subcontractors should be prepared prior to the project starting. Planning of teams, equipment, materials, and workers from abroad should be made in advance to avoid possible delays in the work schedule. The necessary HSE team should be adapted for work safety. The regular progress report should be prepared and sent to the top management.
