quality requirements for project execution and final closeout.
The PM facilitates the construction process to achieve the needs and expectations of the Client
\/ Owner. (Stakeholders)
1. In the DUE DILIGENCE & INITIATING phase of the new construction project, the project
manager (PM) develops a project feasibility study to help define and justify the project
to Management \/ Stakeholder groups for approval to proceed.
2. In the DESIGN & PROCUREMENT phases of the new construction project, the PM
develops the scope of work and procedures and work deliverable requirements for
project execution.

monitoring and control procedures and processes for cost and administration of the
project to closeout. (timelines, cost and administrative)
