Construction Management Organizing the construction projects The main purpose here is to create that organizational structure and that relationship system between the parties of the project (client, engineer, contractor, authorities etc.) so that the goals of each part could be fulfilled as efficient as possible. Organizing the construction works. The administration of construction execution consists in the assembly of methods, techniques and procedures used to put into service and to provide the correct performance of the production apparatus, respectively the means of production and the working force, in the framework established by the organization project, so that the reaching of the estimated objectives is provided. total execution duration DP; productivity WP; profit PP; consumption of resources CRP etc. The edification of a product specific to the construction activity is not the result of a spontaneous transformation of the materials, but the result of a long and complex series of transformations along which there are means (of production) and purposes. All these transformations are possible by exercising the main attributes of management: The Order, meaning initiation of actions, putting into service of the production means and of the working force; The Coordination of actions performed by people and equipment in connection with the development in time and space of the projects execution; The Control, on stages, of all the transformations, under two aspects: Quantitative, meaning the measurement of the quantities of executed processes;

Qualitative, meaning the identification and the measurement of sizes which characterize the qualitative execution of processes, according to the standards in force. The Evaluation of the obtained results, on stages, in order to take measures in the following stages. The stages are the calendar months, because these are the time units at the limits of which the quantitative, qualitative and economic evaluation of the construction activity takes place and, as a consequence of this evaluation they do the sale (the sale in constructions, in most of the cases, is performed bit-by-bit, and not at the end of the work). As a consequence of the results control and evaluation, the management can confront two situations: discovers the accomplishment of all the provisions scheduled in the organization project until that stage and the possibility of continuing the execution in the following stage, according to the same provisions; discovers that the initial hypothesis from the organization project, regarding the conditions of execution suffered modifications ( variation of the number of workers and/or pieces of equipment, difficult atmospheric conditions, changes of the solutions from the constructive project etc.) which could not be foreseen in the organization project or which were omitted. In this situation the management takes decisions and corrective measures in order to align the situations and conditions which appeared during the process of execution with the provisions of the organization project; these decisions and corrective measures allow the passing to the following stage. This feed-back has the role to self-adjust the production system within the construction activity. Organizing the construction works involves the establishing of efficient construction methods and proper links between them such as labour, plants and resources should perform the works according to a program. It also consists in considering the necessary support to carry-out the works: site layout facilities, deposits, proprietary equipment etc.
