There are many factors that determine the outcome of a project but the 6 main parameters that can
sufficiently define a construction project are –
size, complexity, quality, productivity, completion time and cost.

Project management is a scientific way of planning implementing, monitoring and controlling the required
resources for the project. It is specialised functional discipline that has carved out its own place in

 Characteristics of a project
• A definite start and a finish
• Unique onetime Ness
• Involvement of several people (stakeholders).
• Limited set of resources
• A time frame for completion
• Sequencing of activities and phases
• No practice/rehearsals Project classification
• Changes are not uncommon
• High level of subcontracting Project completion time basis – long, medium, short, special short-term projects
• Risk and uncertainty exists
Project value basis – mega, large, medium, small value
Project Categories

Building construction- include residential and commercial complexes educational and recreational facilities, hospitals & hotels,
warehouses and marketing facilities. Buildings constitute largest segment of construction business.

Infrastructure construction- Capital intensive and heavy equipment-oriented works which involve movement of large quantity of bulk
materials like earth steel and concrete.
