Abstract

Project management in building construction involves the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to effectively plan, execute, and complete construction projects within scope, time, cost, and quality constraints. It ensures efficient resource utilization, risk mitigation, and stakeholder coordination to achieve project success. Effective project management in building construction is essential for ensuring timely completion, cost efficiency, and high-quality execution. This paper explores key strategies for successful project management, including detailed project planning, cost estimation, resource allocation, and risk management. The use of modern scheduling tools like Primavera P6 and MS Project enhances efficiency, while techniques such as the Critical Path Method (CPM) aid in optimizing workflows. Additionally, quality control measures, safety compliance, and effective communication between stakeholders play a crucial role in minimizing delays and maximizing productivity. By integrating advanced project management methodologies and adopting digital tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM), construction projects can achieve enhanced coordination, reduced risks, and improved overall performance. This study highlights best practices and innovative approaches that contribute to the success of building construction projects. Construction and Execution phase, emphasizing the importance of mobilization, scheduling, resource management, quality control, safety, and change management in the successful delivery of a project. Each of these elements plays a crucial role in ensuring that the project meets its goals regarding cost, time, and quality. The case studies illustrate the application of these strategies in both residential and commercial building projects, providing practical insights into how these strategies can be implemented effectively in real-world scenarios.
