NECESSITY OF DESIGN MANAGEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY (original) (raw)

As the modern building designing processes are getting more complex, there is a growing necessity to establish collaborative practices in the process of building design and construction projects, as they are likely to involve a large number of diverse disciplines, many of whom will not have worked together before. They are likely to involve the coordination and integration of a great deal of complex information, procedures and systems. This has become increasingly true as today's project structures have evolved from the straight forward client-consultant-contractor relationship to more integrated structures with complex financing arrangements, early engagement of the supply chain and the introduction of subcontractor and specialists design.
