- Abstract:
A requirement for a deeper understanding of the construction project as a concept has resulted in a study of project issues at various stages using a ‘Three-Stage’ project model derived from the literature on projects. The paper presents current research to determine whether similar generic issues occur at similar project stages, and therefore are predictable in nature and apply equally to construction, manufacturing or service-related projects. The study uses case study data processed by the ‘Three-Stage’ model to determine generalizations of recurring issues and allocates these issues to their appropriate project stages. Case study data is in the form of value management workshop reports which are auditable documents outlining the proceedings of workshops for a variety of projects at differing stages in their evolution. Research work has found that similar issues are recurring regardless of project type and therefore the application of value management would enhance the value of any project irrespective of type.
