Editorial on the Research Topic Systems for Construction Management

The continued advances of management theories and praxis as well as digital technologies have constantly transformed construction project delivery around the world. Practices at many construction project based enterprises show the importance of technical innovations, for which multidisciplinary research and development (R&D) of systematic solutions is key drivers towards leadership and success. As demonstrated by Ghosh and Robson (2015) in their descriptive case study on project management at the Empire State Building project, the connection from new research to the past practice is powerful to derive and validate the efficacy of the Lean Delivery System , as an example of advanced management system, which is widely recognized essential to produce work process excellence ( Patty and Denton, 2010 ). Under grand challenges ( Chen, 2019 ) in construction management (CM) via continuous enhancement to efficacy and performance, it is important for R&D to be in adaptive, responsive, and/or proactive modes through using state-of-the-art theories and technologies to improve the performance of project-based managerial systems and practices.

Mark Crawford

New construction materials

Finding and retaining workers.

3D printing

Digitalization.

Artificial intelligence

AI can be integrated with other technologies on the job such as building information management, sensors, wearables, and other monitoring tools to make better-informed decisions in real time, reducing construction costs through improved forecasting and construction management. AI can also promote safety by analyzing photos of the jobsite and identifying hazardous situations or high-risk trends in worker behavior.

Building Information Modeling

Digital twins

A digital twin in the construction industry is an exact virtual model of a building or a construction site that is built using Internet of Things technologies that capture hundreds of thousands of data points. This data is processed using AI and can be viewed, monitored, or changed in real time to test new ideas or make changes, which can improve building design, project scheduling, and building operation systems.

Robots can perform an increasing number of tasks on the construction site, including painting, loading, brick-laying, tying rebar, and installing drywall. This helps protect workers from dangerous or repetitive tasks, which reduces injuries and allows workers to take on other tasks. Robots can be also used to complete work during labor shortages.

Wireless sensors and trackers are embedded in apparel or personal protective equipment such as gloves, vests, and hard hats and monitor a worker’s vital signs, movements, repetitive motions, and slips or falls. Such real-time health data helps keep workers safe and immediately lets safety managers know if a worker is exhausted or at risk for injury. Editor’s Pick: Construction Robots that Read Your Mind Technology and material trends in construction will continue to advance. By combining IoT-enabled digital technologies, construction companies will be more efficient, productive, and safe than ever before, increasing their bottom line and winning market share. Project delivery methods must also evolve to meet customer demands. For example, Gray has expanded its services to better meet the specialized needs of its food and beverage customers. “We have adapted the traditional design-build model to include a robust scope of services that extends well beyond traditional design and construction, such as process and packaging engineering, controls integration, automation, and even equipment prefabrication,” said McCowan.  As with all growth, he added, challenges exist in construction, but so do opportunities. “In this type of evolving industry, project management teams must pioneer new methods to push the industry forward in creative and productive ways.” Mark Crawford is an engineering and technology writer in Corrales, N.M.

Important Notes:

As a construction engineering student looking to get good grades, it is essential to develop new ideas and experiment on existing construction engineering theories – i.e., to add value and interest in your research topic.

The field of construction engineering is vast and interrelated to so many other academic disciplines like  civil engineering , chemical engineering , mechanical engineering , engineering and more. That is why it is imperative to create a construction engineering dissertation topic that is articular, sound, and actually solves a practical problem that may be rampant in the field.

We can’t stress how important it is to develop a logical research topic; it is the basis of your entire research. There are several significant downfalls to getting your topic wrong; your supervisor may not be interested in working on it, the topic has no academic creditability, the research may not make logical sense, and there is a possibility that the study is not viable.

This impacts your time and efforts in  writing your dissertation , as you may end up in the cycle of rejection at the very initial stage of the dissertation. That is why we recommend reviewing existing research to develop a topic, taking advice from your supervisor, and even asking for help in this particular stage of your dissertation.

While developing a research topic, keeping our advice in mind will allow you to pick one of the best construction engineering dissertation topics that fulfil your requirement of writing a research paper and add to the body of knowledge.

Therefore, it is recommended that when finalising your dissertation topic, you read recently published literature to identify gaps in the research that you may help fill.

Remember- dissertation topics need to be unique, solve an identified problem, be logical, and be practically implemented. Take a look at some of our sample construction engineering dissertation topics to get an idea for your own dissertation.

2022 Project Management Trends: A Look Ahead

The effects of the pandemic have infiltrated every industry, and project management is no exception. The industry continues to evolve. Project management trends that were once standard are slowly being replaced by modern and innovative solutions.

The new Global Trends in Project Management 2022 report, released today by ProjectManager, taps the insights of more than 600 project management professionals to determine how project teams—and the way they work—are shifting.

Hybrid Work is One of the Top Project Management Trends for 2022

Among the most interesting findings? Emerging project management trends such as the increase in remote work, the utilization of multiple project management methodologies and the decrease in formal project management disciplines all point in one direction: hybrid teams.

Hybrid teams are teams that collaborate in multiple locations and with different methodologies. Organizations are beginning to embrace hybrid teams because they offer flexibility to their employees.

It may sound like a buzz phrase, but hybrid teams are here to stay—and the data from our Global Trends in Project Management 2022 report illustrates this shift in the global workforce. We encourage the project management community at large to leverage these insights for a better, more productive working environment this upcoming year and beyond.

Click here to download our survey report on 2022 project management trends.

Trend #1: Challenges of Remote Work

Perhaps the most readily apparent project management trend is that more and more teams are transitioning into a remote working environment; not only in the United States, but across the globe. Of our survey participants, 59% currently work remotely, with this number likely to increase moving forward.

With a growing number of employees transitioning into a remote working environment, there are fewer opportunities for face-to-face communication. This presents an opening for collaboration platforms that keep projects progressing accurately and within budget.

Another challenge of remote work is finding an effective way to collaborate across teams. Remote workers need the ability to work well within their own team, of course. But they also need to communicate across multiple departments to deliver business value. This shift requires seamless collaboration and effective communication to ensure all individuals are on the same page.

Other noteworthy challenges of remote work include distractions such as pets, children and significant others, less socialization with coworkers (which impedes team building and camaraderie), less work-life balance, time zone differences, and feelings of isolation. As the world continues to transition into remote work, additional tools and methodologies will need to emerge.

For additional information and statistics on remote work, be sure to download our free Global Trends in Project Management 2022 report.

Trend #2: There’s No Right or Wrong Project Management Methodologies

Our report also highlights a shift away from a single project management methodology in favor of more hybrid approaches. Traditional project management tools, such as a Gantt chart or a kanban board, have been around for decades. Project managers use them to bring consistent success to their projects across the globe.

Many projects also use either agile or waterfall methodologies when establishing plans at the outset of the project.

However, today’s changing landscape requires additional flexibility that these traditional approaches may not provide. Many of our respondents noted using a combination of approaches (or no formal methodology at all) in how they approach their new projects. Tapping into multiple tools and methodologies, instead of sticking to one, has become a project management trend across all industries.

Trend #3: A Mixture of Formal & Informal Project Managers

As a leading project management software, ProjectManager is well aware that the line between formal project managers and individuals who manage projects is blurry. Many individuals end up taking on roles that require them to act as informal project managers—despite not having an official “project manager” title.

Our findings may surprise you. Of the 630 individuals surveyed, almost 30% were not hired with the intention of being full-time project managers. Despite not having “project manager” as part of their title, these individuals are still expected to possess a project manager’s skills.

Individuals that possess strong managerial skills such as leadership, time management, effective communication, risk management, etc. may find themselves managing ad-hoc projects in a hybrid working environment.

The Future of Project Management Is Hybrid

Hybrid teams are all around us, regardless of the industry. Remote working environments, combining multiple methodologies and mixing formal and informal project managers have opened the door for dynamic, hybrid teams.

As the hybrid working environment continues to evolve, traditional ways of managing teams are no longer cutting it. With the right software tools and platforms, hybrid teams can effectively manage projects despite team members’ locations or working preferences.

Looking Ahead to Project Management Trends in 2022

Our report findings have been incredibly helpful in determining future trends in the project management space, and we’ve only covered a small portion of the pertinent survey topics in this blog. Since the onset of the pandemic, many hybrid teams are thriving thanks to the right tools.

Here are some additional questions that our trends report covers:

• What are the biggest challenges in project management today?
• How are teams managing projects today, and will those approaches be successful in the new hybrid world?
• What work methodologies are most prevalent among project teams?
• What industries are paving the way for hybrid teams?
• What are the biggest hurdles standing in the way of effective collaboration?
• What is the project/process maturity level of most project teams?

If you want to learn more about the future of project management, we encourage you to download the full version of our report! This comprehensive study includes findings that can help you drive the future direction of project management at your company.

For the report, we surveyed 630 project management professionals across a range of industries to ensure statistical relevance. For additional information about our study, please email [email protected] .

Those who have handled a project management thesis before can witness that this is not a smooth affair. The creativity, level of research, and critical thinking necessary for developing such a paper require a mature student. The greatest hurdle comes in when you want to develop your research topic. Our professional writers have everything you need to write an award-winning paper. Scroll down to find out how?

What Is A Project Management Research Paper?

It is an assignment that requires students to integrate the different processes to achieve a particular goal and deliverables. Project management is based on the principle that all tasks are special, and thus, you should not treat two tasks as the same.

In this type of assignment, students have to develop many coordination skills and fairness in dealing with various projects. Since various tasks differ in line with their functional procedures, you have to dig deeper to determine how each yields direct and proportional earnings in the end.

Does all these sound like rocket science to you? Well, the next few lines will make you understand this subject better.

Key Points About A Project Management Thesis

There are different steps involved in writing a project management paper. These will contribute to the body paragraphs’ overall quality, length, and depth. The various practices involved in project management include:

Initiating Planning Executing Controlling Closing the work of a team

When you bring all these processes together, you can achieve a particular goal or specific success within the set time. That brings us to a critical component of project management – time!

Every project has a given time frame within which it is complete. It is the primary challenge as time constraints are always when unexpected issues arise. However, with practice, time will not be a factor anymore; it will be the motivation for completing a particular project.

If you don’t feel those skills are important to you, you can get custom dissertation help from our expert team.
