It is an effective management model that includes all stages of a project since its origin, including guidance on the land acquisition, by providing study and specialized monitoring to investors and/or developers and offering the best solution throughout the process until the construction is finished, emphasizing quality, lower price, deadline, safety, profitability for investors and benefits to consumers.
This model has also been consolidated in all engineering segments, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, distribution center, shopping mall, hospital and hotel chains.
Project management involves different activities, which are independent, but interrelated, comprising the development matrix system.
- Integration Management
- Scope Management
- Time Management
- Cost Management
- Quality Management
- HR Management
- Communication Management
- Risk Management
- Acquisition Management
Based on each management activity above mentioned, processes, mechanisms, goals, objectives, controls and standards are developed to be used in order to attain the project primary objective, namely, reaching the goal determined by the entrepreneur, according to its economic and financial viability.
The project as a whole is usually split into stages, according to its technical and financial development. Each of such stages requires global management, separated according to the following stages:
Club Home
INCEPTION - The stage used to determine goals, standards and deadlines to be complied with, stakeholders’ review and potential risks.
PLANNING - The stage used to define players of this stage, mechanisms for achieving what was designed in the previous stage, besides detailing the projects and costs involved.
IMPLEMENTATION AND CONTROL - The stage used to define involved suppliers and subcontractors, quality mechanisms, control and measuring, starting the construction works set forth in the planning stage, when control is used along with implementation.
Integration and Scope Management
- Monitoring the Project Management Plan (Quality Manual)
Time Management
- Monitoring the construction schedule preparation.
- Monitoring how events progress during this stage.
Cost Management
- Monitoring how costs and payments develop according to the entrepreneurs’ assumptions and goals (economic and financial feasibility) performed during the Inception stage.
Quality Management
- Measuring and monitoring the quality of works developed in this stage, as defined at the Inception stage.
HR Management
- Planning and monitoring human resources involved in the project, defining the project functional organization chart, identifying and documenting functions and defining the responsibility assignment matrix.
Communication Management
- Planning and monitoring the communication process among the involved parties, in order to ensure fast internal actions and decisions.
Risk Management
- It deals with processes of identification, analysis, response planning and project risk monitoring.
Acquisition Management
- Planning and hiring the players involved in this stage (the construction company consultants and suppliers).
CONCLUSION - A stage implying receiving the construction work from suppliers and afterwards, its delivery to final buyers, including all start-up equipment and facilities.
Integration and Scope Management
- Monitoring the Project Management Plan (Quality Manual)
- Checking compliance with (environmental, sustainability, technical, etc.) feasibility studies conducted in the Planning stage.
- Monitoring the project start-ups.
- Technical monitoring to define and conduct the project launch events.
Time Management
- Preparation and monitoring of the units delivery schedule.
Cost Management
- Review and approval of post-work maintenance costs presented.
Quality Management
- Monitoring the delivery of the units and shared spaces.
- Applying a customer’s satisfaction questionnaire and tabulate data obtained.
Acquisition Management
- Services acceptance and termination of agreements/contracts signed by and with the companies engaged in the project.
