Monitoring and Control Process of Construction Projects

Major causes of delays in construction projects are very common due to many factors caused by main projects stakeholders; client, consultant and contractor. Some of these factors are related to unclear objectives, risk identification processes, planning process, procurement process including tendering, construction process and supervision and lack of experience of performance measurement. Contractor’s project managers of construction projects must be aware of work processes to avoid problem that may cause a delay of handing over the project. Some of these processes are project monitor and control. The research objective is to find out why process of project monitoring and control is major and important for project work progress and to determine the best practical techniques that can be utilized to track the work progress of construction project, and to make timely recommendations for required corrective action in response to any delays in the working detailed program. Monitoring project performance is a part of construction management processes that helps project manager to decide if the project can be delivered on time without any complain from the client. Project monitoring and control is important and essential for collecting the necessary information’s that help projects managers to reviews progress regularly and help them to take any necessary action to avoid delays. The finding of the study shown the needs and actions required that must be considered by project managers to control internal process including essential techniques e.g. contractor selection criteria, operations of construction phases, control process, cost analysis, and labor and materials management. In the conclusion, internal control process is essential for contractor’s project managers through appropriate and suitable effective utilization and adoption to the processes that must be identified at the beginning of the project. © 2019 Mamoon Mousa Atout.
