= Introduction =

In general terms, management is a set of organisational principles and practices that relate to the running and planning of a business, project, programme, and so on. It involves establishing and following an organisational strategy, coordinating other stakeholders, employees and resources, to be able to meet the intended objectives.

Management involves the exercise of formal authority within a structured organisational setting that is directed towards aims and objectives through the efforts of other people using systems and procedures.

Management has a great deal of application to construction and the built environment. The following are the most relevant forms of management:

= Construction management =

Construction management is a procurement route in which the works are constructed by a number of different trade contractors. These trade contractors are contracted to the client but managed by a construction manager.

= Management contracting =

Management contracting is a procurement route in which the works are constructed by a number of different works contractors who are contracted to a management contractor. The management contractor is generally appointed by the client early in the design process so that their experience can be used to improve the cost and buildability of proposals as they develop, as well as to advise on packaging (and the risks of interfaces).

= Commercial management =

Commercial management generally refers to the overseeing and management of a project's finances as it progresses. It can also refer to the long-term management of business opportunities that will enable the organisation to develop and grow.

The commercial manager must maximise business potential in terms of growth and profitability, while monitoring and controlling internal processes as well as managing external relationships with subcontractors, clients, and so on.

= Project management =

A project manager is a specialist advisor that represents the client and is responsible for the day-to-day management of a project. They seldom participate directly in activities that produce the end result but rather strive to maintain the progress and mutual interaction of the project team in such a way that reduces the risk of failure, maximises benefits and controls cost.

= Supply chain management =

Supply chain management requires a holistic perspective and a view of organisations as parts of a process. It requires the ability to look beyond organisational boundaries, and a recognition of the interdependence of organisations.

Managing the supply chain involves understanding the breakdown and traceability of products and services, organisations, logistics, people, activities, information and resources that transform raw materials into a finished product that is fit for its purpose.

= Design management =

Design management (DM) is the process of managing design through the project lifecycle, in order that project budgets can be satisfied, programmes achieved, and designs properly co-ordinated and communicated

= Risk management =

Risk management aims to recognise potential problems as early as possible so that the opportunity for taking effective action is maximised. By looking ahead at potential events that may impact on the project and by putting actions in place to address them, project teams can pro-actively manage risks and increase the chances of successfully delivering the project.

= Time management =

Time management is the process of organising and implementing a strategy related to the time required for work activities on a project. Effective time management is essential to successfully and efficiently meeting budget and programme targets, as well as achieving profitability.

= Change management =

Change management is a term that is used to refer to the preparation and support that is required in the process of organisational change. It provides a structured approach to helping individuals, teams and entire organisations change their approach, attitude, position and responsibilities within an organisation. It can be appropriate to assist in the redirection or redefinition of budget allocations, resource use, business process, and other modes of operation.

= Contract management =

Contract management is the process of managing contracts that are made as part of the delivery of a built asset. It involves the creation, analysis and execution of contracts by the parties to those contracts to ensure operational and financial performance is maximised, and risks are minimised.

= Resource management =

Resource management is the process of planning the resources necessary to meet the objectives of the project, and to satisfy the client’s requirements. Without proper resource management, projects can fall behind schedule, or can become unprofitable. The objective is to ensure the adequate and timely supply of resources, whilst at the same time maximising the utilisation of resources between projects.

In construction, HRM is primarily concerned with ensuring that a project has sufficient human resources, with the correct skill-sets and experience, for the project to be successfully completed.

= Waste management =

A site waste management plan (SWMP) should initially be prepared by the client before construction begins, although they may commission a member of the consultant team to do this on their behalf. It should describe how materials will be managed efficiently and disposed of legally during the construction of the works, explaining how the re-use and recycling of materials will be maximised.
