The steps in creating your Group TP Project Management (PM) Plan
As outlined in the TERM PROJECT INFORMATION OUTLINE, each group acts as the
Project Manager hired by the Client / Owner directly to establish the PM PLAN framework to
build consensus amongst the stakeholders by determining the feasibility and justifying
theconstruction project is sustainable and worthwhile.
Project Management is defined as “the application of Knowledge. Skills, Tools and
Techniques to Project Activities to meet Project Requirements.”
The Project Manager (PM) is charged with defining the project scope, time, costs and the
quality requirements for project execution and final closeout.
The PM facilitates the construction process to achieve the needs and expectations of the Client
/ Owner. (Stakeholders)
1. In the DUE DILIGENCE & INITIATING phase of the new construction project, the project
manager (PM) develops a project feasibility study to help define and justify the project
to Management / Stakeholder groups for approval to proceed.
2. In the DESIGN & PROCUREMENT phases of the new construction project, the PM
develops the scope of work and procedures and work deliverable requirements for
project execution.
3. In the CONSTRUCTION phase the PM develops the schedule / critical path and the
monitoring and control procedures and processes for cost and administration of the
project to closeout. (timelines, cost and administrative)
