Abstract

project management for construction is a complex process that must combine the efforts of a number of individuals in order to be successful. According to Hendrickson (2000) "Like the five blind men encountering different parts of an elephant, each of the numerous participants in the process of planning, designing, financing, constructing and operating physical facilities has a different perspective on project management for construction" (Chapter 1). Hendrickson goes on to note that while specialized knowledge can facilitate the development of a construction project, those in charge of construction must have a clear understanding of the way in which each of the parts of the project fits together. What this effectively suggests is that project management in construction requires the use of a wide range of skills that require the project manager to be both facilitator and expert.With the realization that construction projects carry with them the challenge of being complex integrative tasks, project managers working on construction projects will ultimately encounter a number of problems and issues when undertaking these types of projects. Given the importance of project management to the overall success of the construction project, it is helpful for professionals to consider some of the specific issues that can promulgate distress in this setting such that steps can be taken to mitigate negative outcomes and improve project completion.
