Construction management versus construction project management

Abstract

Within the South African construction industry today, the terms Construction Management and Construction Project Management are used by professionals when in fact they themselves are unsure of the exact definition and description of what each profession entails in adequate detail. This treatise aims to address that issue. It describes in detail exactly what each profession entails as well as highlighting software, systems and programs that both professions would need and be able to adequately use and which also serves as a valuable communication tool between both the two professionals as well as the project team involved within a specific project.
