Abstrak

The application of effective project management techniques in the construction sector can improve worker productivity and efficiency through structured and systematic management. Techniques such as Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Critical Path Method (CPM), and the use of technology such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) help maximize the use of resources, reduce risks, and optimize time and budget management. Effective communication, quality management, and worker motivation also play an important role in improving team performance. Implementing a construction project in which every managerial element-including careful planning and the use of the right tools-can ensure the project runs smoothly and is completed according to schedule. Not only that, continuous monitoring and evaluation are important to identify problems early on and reduce waste that can be detrimental to the project. Effective implementation of project management impacts cost efficiency and improves the overall quality of the project. Emphasis on technology and proper risk management are the keys to success in facing the challenges that exist in the construction sector.
