| Management and co-ordination of the team
involved in the design and construction of a development project
to meet the client’s objectives in terms of time, cost and
quality. Construction management is the co-ordination of a team
of direct contractors (without a main contractor) to ensure a
higher standard of quality construction. The scope of work
includes cost control techniques, time control programming,
contracts documentation and reporting procedures, building
audits and all work involving advice on contract, calling for
tenders, negotiation with contractors, valuation of work in
progress, assessing cost of variations and settlement of final
accounts. Introduction into development
projects a high degree of commercial management expertise in
order to plan and co-ordinate the efforts of all parties
involved in a building project – the Architect, the Consultant,
the Builder and the Client – in order to achieve for the client
the maximum satisfaction and profit from his venture.
