摘要

Monitoring and control in construction project management are crucial for identifying and addressing potential issues early on, ensuring the project stays on track with schedule, budget, and quality standards. Key benefits of monitoring include early issue detection, cost management, schedule adherence, quality control, risk mitigation, stakeholder communication, and improved decision-making. Commissioning and handover are essential for ensuring project quality and compliance verifying that a project meets design specifications, functional requirements, and regulations through thorough testing and documentation. Time and cost overruns are critical challenges in the construction management of infrastructure projects, such as gas pipelines, groundwater systems, highways, offshore pipelines, oil and gas facilities, buildings, roadways, and general construction in developing countries. Common factors contributing to project delays include inadequate planning, scheduling deficiencies, financial constraints, design modifications, limited expertise, subcontractor complications, labor shortages, communication breakdowns, untimely permit acquisition, land disputes, insufficient oversight, and political influences. This chapter offers insights into efficient strategies for monitoring, controlling, commissioning, and handing over construction projects in emerging economies. Various methodologies for project monitoring, such as the leading parameter technique, activity-based ratios approach, variances method, quality control, “S-curve” envelope, and earned value method, are employed. Employing digital tools enhances communication, flexibility, strategic tasks, and data collection, reducing error risk and enabling timely corrective actions, thereby improving decision-making productivity and arresting project life cycle delays. The research holds substantial societal ramifications for developing economies, with the uniqueness of the results credited to their originality.
