Сurrent state and directions of development of project management in road construction
Abstract
Introduction. The significance of road construction both in investment and construction activity and in the national economy in general is characterized. The specificity of investment and construction activity management, including road construction, which has a multi-level project approach in its basis, is noted.Materials and methods. The research methods are a review of information sources, analysis of the project approach and the basics of road construction management, the usage of a systematic approach with the allocation of project management levels, generalization of professional experience in the service of the state customer, comparative analysis of the material with the identification of problems and trends in the development of project management in road construction.Results. The macro level of project management is considered, because, according to the country’s development goals, the development of road construction is included in the system of national projects. The problems of the management of the national projects, including “Safe high-quality roads” and “Comprehensive plan for modernization and expansion of the trunk infrastructure” are identified. The problems of the state customer practice in the sphere of road construction are analyzed and the specifics of the micro-project level of road construction are defined. The express review of the directions of project management improvement in road construction is presented. The measures of project management improvement are proposed at the inter-branch level, which will be effectively reflected at the micro level of specific road construction projects.Conclusions. Based on the results of the analytical review, the key positions of methodological support for effective project management in road construction were identified: optimization of the value chain of investment and construction projects; consolidation of cost, schedule and quality management parameters into the project model; assessment and management of the moment efficiency of the investment and construction project; use of the synergetic effect of system components of project cost management; implementation of adaptive management of investment and construction projects, precedent management, production modelling and controlling system.
