1 Introduction
Construction project management is the process of managing resources such as men,
materials, and labours over the total life cycle of the project using various tools,
techniques, and methodologies [1]. In the construction industry, project management
is a significant process to control the scope, time, manpower, and quality of the project
throughout the lifetime of the project [2]. There will be a variety of constraints that
arise between the design and execution of the construction projects. Construction
project management will create an opportunity to interact with the various discipline
of the project from architectural design to the execution of the project [3].
Construction project management is processed by the construction project
manager [4]. This person deals with the planning, coordination, design, budgeting,
and supervision of construction projects [5]. The project manager will deal with the
total process involved in the execution of the project such as approval and planning of
the project, deciding the schedule of the project completion and ensuring the project
execution is ongoing on the proposed schedule, preparing the budget of the project
costs and negotiating the costs with the contractors who were appointed for execution
of the project, communicating with the client and stakeholders in the project, and
other professionals on technical and contract details [6].
