‘Jua kali’ mentality a threat to viability of prime projects

The term construction project management, mostly referred to as project management and construction management, continues to confuse stakeholders in our built environment and the public alike. I seek to first clarify this; Construction Project Management is the management of projects within the built environment from conception to completion, including management of related professional services. Construction Management on the other hand is the management of the physical construction within the built Environment and includes the co-ordination, administration, and management of resources.

There are different competing thoughts that continue to be advanced, depending on interest, as to the importance of having a project manager on any project, both public and private.
