Construction project monitoring

Abstract

Monitoring has not so far been recognised in Croatian construction practice and, hence, it has neither been introduced nor used as a basic component of construction project management. This situation is the consequence of the approach currently adopted in the study and scientific research of the construction project management phenomenon, which is viewed as a system of management of the cause and effect related activities of planning, design, procurement, realisation, equipment, supervision, reporting, project decision-making and, finally, handover of project outcomes. The need to introduce independent project monitoring functions is exposed in the paper, and the influence of high-quality monitoring on successful achievement of construction project results is explained.
