Project management, in the traditional sense, represents the assumption of delegable client tasks in a construction project. The project manager takes on the tasks that the client cannot perform themselves due to capacity or technical limitations. Therefore, project management must necessarily be carried out under the direct mandate of the client.
Project management in construction is a central element of building management. Highly complex construction projects require the coordination of 25 to 30 different planners, experts, and other specialists. Clients typically lack the capacity for this and delegate the task to project management.
Complex construction projects pose a significant risk for the client, particularly regarding cost and schedule certainty. The only way to minimize this risk is to appoint an experienced and professional project management team that understands the necessary processes and procedures.
The coordinating tasks of a general planner are fundamentally different from those of a project manager. The general planner coordinates the parties involved in the planning, who are contractually their own subcontractors (planning coordination). Project manager takes over the coordination that the client is responsible for. The client also has a duty of oversight towards the general planner. If project manager is also commissioned by the general planner, independence is no longer guaranteed!
The project manager must begin well before the start of the conventional planning process. Particularly during the "project preparation" phase, they can make a significant contribution to the project's success. Most errors occur during this phase due to inexperience, and these later require considerably more effort and time to rectify.
The DVP defines project management as follows: Project management is the performance of client functions in the realization of construction and real estate projects from a technical, economic, and, in some cases, legal perspective. Project management can encompass both project control services (external support) and project management (client management).
The DVP defines project management as follows: "Project management involves the performance of client functions in the realization of construction and real estate projects in an advisory capacity (staff function)." It is essentially the right hand of the project manager and takes over all tasks that the latter cannot perform for reasons of capacity or expertise.
Project management and project control handle the client's project management. Typically, the project manager is an employee of the client who holds overall responsibility (including budget responsibility). In many cases, the project management team's capacity and expertise are insufficient. Large parts of the task are then delegated to external project control. These two disciplines are intrinsically linked.
