Propuesta metodológica para la gestión integral de proyectos de construcción de edificaciones en Colombia

Abstract

The construction industry as a key sector in the economy of countries demands proper management systems of their projects for the effective and efficient solution of complex problems of society. To get this the modern management of the projects must have creative and innovative methods, techniques and tools as those suggested in the proposal developed here so that it will contribute to address the multiple changing constraints and objectives that will require the transformer activities does not routine, unique, temporary and unforeseen of the projects. Similarly, the magnitude of resources required and the differing expectations of multiple and increasingly sophisticated stakeholders, demands the professionalization and standardization of the practices in the project management to improve the probabilities of success. There approaches and structures are various of the standards, guidelines, methodologies and / or methods discussed in this research, as well as project management courses and programs that now promote specialized institutions, state agencies, universities and corporations. But without notice today to an acceptance, knowledge, implementation, consensus or widespread or formal of these for much of the construction companies in Colombia; as confirmed from field interviews with managers, consultants and academics in projects managements, putting the sector construction in a range of high-risk or vulnerability by high impacts over investment, decision making and the likelihood of success in meeting the expectations of all stakeholders. From systems theory, applied to management of the organizations, and without wishing to be considered as a unique solution, the research proposes an alternative structured, sequential, logical, tidy, reliable, systematic, graphical and configurable based on the standards or guidelines or best practices internationally recognized for basic management of multiple types of projects, by adapting their core process and complemented, Also integrated with other essential processes for managing organizations and some other specific technical processes today demand complex management of the construction projects, and grouping them by systems according to their contribution to the functionality within the organizational structure for managing a building construction project in Colombia. In summary the proposal select, redefine, integrate and guides in a logical sequence, the objectives and results of specialized management processes of a construction project, to develop the product of the project, staff skills, companies or organizations management skills most directly involved, with the purpose of, initiate, plan, execute, control and close projects systematically, improving the chances of success of its management and strengthen the level of maturity in projects management for organizations and personnel involved.
