A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION SERVICES ENGINEERING: EMPHASIS ON HONG KONG.

Abstract

Despite the importance of determining how cities are built, the construction services engineering sector has been afflicted by problems like lack of coordination, safety concerns, cost overruns and delays. The study delves deeply into the project management techniques in Hong Kong which is a city characterised by a dense population, limited land resources and strict laws. The study’s primary objective is to determine how digital advances like BIM affect the project’s schedule, budget, quality and safety. Stratified sampling was used to guarantee that different professional groups were represented fairly in the quantitative study that was conducted. The results show that using BIM significantly boosts collaboration across disciplines, decreases design disagreements and makes decisions better in real-time. When compared to projects that relied on more conventional approaches, those that used BIM performed better in terms of cost management, risk mitigation, and communication with stakeholders. By providing a complete quantitative analysis, the study addresses a gap in the existing body of research on Hong Kong project management techniques. It is recommended by the research that the greater use of digital technologies, the development of training, and the improvement of collaboration frameworks be prioritised in order to achieve sustainable, efficient and high-quality building outcomes. The study emphasises the importance of using digital innovation to get around the problems that Hong Kong’s construction industry is facing at the moment. People who work in the industry can help projects do better, be safer and make the city more sustainable and resilient by promoting a culture of ongoing learning and working together.
