In brief, construction management is the process of managing construction projects. When comparing construction project management to other types of projects, the main distinction is that construction is mission-based. That means that the project’s organization ends with the completion of the project build.

The project’s scope is inclusive of the project’s goals and objectives, deliverables, features, financials, tasks, and deadlines. Defining these variables builds the foundation of your construction management plan. Once the project scope is in place, the construction management plan should have a resource schedule ready. Building the right team to accomplish varied tasks is crucial to get a headstart on the construction project. Managers must therefore assemble the right workforce and allocate the right tasks to them to avoid any potential bottlenecks in the future.

Its a deliverable-oriented breakdown or bifurcation of projects into smaller tasks. Drawing out a WBS allows project managers to categorize the projects into manageable chunks. They can schedule and allocate the right task to the right resource with ease. One of the major benefits of designing a WBS is that it enhances task management efficiency and helps managers ensure uniform allocation of workload. A WBS is, therefore, necessary to help project managers track the project’s progress at every stage. This will help them implement corrective measures in case of discrepancies.
