Management process groups along with the processes in the knowledge areas having to do with the principles and concepts used in the development of major construction activities are very important in the overall construction management process. This volume covers the application of these activities that manage the construction project from inception through to the completion of the construction project.

Construction Management: Project Management Process Principles and Concepts discusses the five elements of management functions which include planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling, and explains how these activities/elements of management functions can be used in construction projects. Information about strategic planning, operational planning, intermediate planning, and contingency planning, and the steps involved with relevance to construction projections is offered in this volume. The different types of organizational structures, such as simple, functions, divisional, matrix, team-based, network, and modular, with an example organizational chart, are presented. Also covered are staffing processes such as acquisition, roles and responsibilities, assessment, team building, training, and development, along with directing and controlling elements of the management functions. This volume is rounded out with the inclusion of the five types of management processes, such as initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, and closing, along with applicable knowledge areas based on the PMBOK® methodology.

This volume provides significant information and guidelines to construction and project management professionals (owners, designers, consultants, construction managers, project managers, supervisors, contractors, builders, developers, and many others from the construction related industry) involved in construction projects (mainly civil construction projects, commercial A/E projects) and construction related industries.
