Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Construction project management is a challenging but rewarding profession in the built environment. The current climate challenges and energy concerns are affecting the construction industry as well as the project solutions. Effective construction project management benefits owners by increasing the potential for successful project completion—on time, within budget, and free of financial or legal issues. Companies are currently facing more than just risks that are a part of their business activities. In addition, the construction industry members—developers, owners, contractors, suppliers, subcontractors, and vendors—have experienced varying degrees of impact of the COVID-19 pandemic depending on the responses at the state and local levels. Even so, the crisis might also represent an opportunity to solve some of the industry’s challenges and to prepare for the digital future. The construction project is a collaborative effort. Thus, human skills are extremely important at all project management levels.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide the current state-of-the-art knowledge and the best practice, cutting-edge tools, and technologies for construction project management. The relevant topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Construction project planning and scheduling;
- Cause, effect, and delay analysis in construction projects;
- Construction contract claims and dispute resolution;
- Coordination and cooperation in construction projects;
- Safety management in construction projects;
- Risk management in construction projects;
- Environmental and social issues in construction project management;
- Green project management practices for the construction industry;
- Supply chain management in the construction industry;
- Building information modeling (BIM) implementation in construction projects;
- Digitalization and construction project management.
