Abstract
As the building industry improves during the twentieth century, the professional groups working in the building industry seek something more than just a visual sensation out of a building project. More interest is focused upon the economic value of investment in the building industry. The economic value is considered an evaluating test for the efficiency of the building process and its programs that will lead to a fuIl understanding and utilization of the available resources used in the building creative industry.
Observations of the constant rising cost of the building industry’s end product at an uncontroIlable escalating rate - that compares so unfavorably with the mass production cost control of other industries- , together with the uneconomic waste of time, due to unpractical planning and controlling schedules. More over, there is a ITustrating failure to fulfiIl the engineering quality objectives of the final product. AIl those evidences clearly indicate that there is a high demand for an efficient new approach of project management programs that embrace the building process in all its stages. New approaches will help to improve the performance of the building process in order to achieve its conceptual economic objectives. That is to fulfill the mountainous backlog of need for housing, education buildings, health facilities, industrial plants, and all manner of urban developments, as a base for the total development of the national economy.
It is believed that the performance of the building industry and the balance of its programs can be optimized - using the available financial resources - through the adoption of more efficient and consistent comprehensive project management techniques to control the building process in its pre-design, design, procurement, construction and post-construction phases.
