ensuring the job is run in compliance with all relevant legislation, codes of practice and company policies and procedures etc.

There are a variety of different factors that influence the design process. The first one is the client’s needs and amount of money they have, the design has to suit the client’s needs so that the design meets what they like. Therefore the design will need to change to suit their needs. Their design needs to be suitable to the amount of money that they are willing to spend so that it is affordable, this then reduces the chance of abandoning the project. The client can influence the design by wanting the latest taste and technology however this all comes down to the cost. Secondly the more knowledge and experience that the people involved have the more chance the design process runs smoothly as everyone will understand what to do.

The commercial construction industry is a very complex field. Every purchase, every sale, every action is followed by a myriad of legalities. The construction industry itself deals everyday with contract, employee, and zoning laws. However these fields are magnified in importance when it comes to commercial construction. Every skyscraper must adhere to a very specific set of rules during every stage of building. Before building even begins companies must first submit proposals to the respective city of building in order to be approved. Each building must be approved for building height, when they can work, and how to power the buildings. During construction companies must make sure to hire union workers, minorities, and others as is required by law in the said city. Also the companies must be sure to meet all safety standards in order to avoid liability. Finally after building the company must deal with contract law in the selling of the building and making sure all previously made requirements had been met. I will focus specifically on John Moriarty and Associates, a commercial construction management firm with an office in Boston, Massachusetts. For them the specific laws and problems they must navigate are specific to the city of Boston and also vary project to project. Looking at specifically Boston’s zoning laws, they 're employment requirements on large scale projects, the safety guidelines builders in the city must follow, and the contracts JMA is used to

EC Harris Global Construction Report 2013 has indicated that failure to communicate effectively among architects, designers, contractors and procurement teams in the construction industry features first in the list of reasons why building trade has remained a hugely fragmented industry in UK lagging behind the rest of the international community. As per the officials of Construction Industry Council, separate and uncoordinated involvement of a designer, architect, an engineer and a building contractor who finally arrives to undertake the actual work itself will lead to substandard work and increased financials (Opler& Sokobin, 1995). On the legal side, there has been an assertion that legal contracts of collaboration is becoming obsolete and will remain obsolete as long as constructor and employer recognise their mutual interdependence.

Abstract: The construction projects generally are broadly categorized as Green Field Projects and Brown Field Projects. In recent years Indian Construction Industry practices has set benchmarks globally through adaption of planned policies, their quality standards and ability to complete projects within the defined time frame. Here comes the concept of Project and Construction Management. Within this sector of building construction allied with civil, structure, interior and services, Project Management can be defined on the thumb rule of five stages involved , which are interconnected and can be categorized as Initiate, Plan, Design, Construction, Close out and Handover. Majorly the difference between Project Management and Construction Management can be summarized as Project Management being associated mainly with planning, designing, budgeting and co-ordination, on the other hand Construction Management is associated majorly with on-site execution, building

All kinds of strange landmarks in China has exceeded “the Tyrant city: Dubai” where its was also described as the contemporary architectural museum. Chinese cities are entering the era of the craziest, however, its soon coming to an end.

Construction management or construction project management (CPM) is the overall planning, coordination, and control of a project from beginning to completion.

The size of project construction was huge, including many different departments like design construction operation and supervision department. Meanwhile, human resource management between managers, construction teams, and construction workers is an important issue which influences the cost time and quality.

Software is just a BIM tool that is meant to support the technologies, the protocols, the standards and the process involved in the implementation of BIM for management of construction projects. Quiet few number of researches had been carried out on BIM, it is so few when compared with researches on other phenomenon in construction field, possibly because of this and the fact that BIM discussion is so much contemporary make many to think BIM is new whereas the technology have history dated back to over 50 years. In most of the researches, BIM is discussed in relation to construction management and not really akin to project management or there may be little dubiety about the differences between the two terms. Both terms are kind of management term, construction management is more of management of technical process and on the other hand project management is more of strategic and business oriented management, the difference is big and consequential. Construction manager as a representative of construction team is expected to maintain close and good link (collaboration) with the Design team and the facility management team and with all people that represent the client on a project. Project manager supposed to create the link and be a facilitator of processes involving the design team, construction team and the facility management team, PM roles give more consideration to life-cycle management of projects. It can be clearly noticed that the fundamental

The role of a Construction Manager is responsible for running and managing a construction site or a large part of it. This job involves preparing the site and communicating with other construction professionals such as architects, engineers, buyers, estimators and surveyors before construction work starts. They are in charge of developing the program of work and strategy to make the project happen. Planning ahead to prevent problems on site before they occur such as, planning the delivery and storage of equipment and materials. They have to make safety inspections of the site when work is underway and ensuring regulations relating to health, safety and the environment (HSE) are adhered to overseeing the running of several projects. They have to communicate with a range of people such as; the client, subcontractors, suppliers, the public and the workforce. Construction Managers are the creators for the future, planning and creating new advanced energy efficient smart homes and buildings,

Forklift truck- it a powered industrial equipment with a prolonged attached platform that can be adjusted to pick an object below or on the ground. It was first used to move objects in industries.

Unlike all the various industries, construction industry would mainly work on the labor. In this particular industry, the completion of the work would mainly depend upon the number of employees working in the particular project.
