I am starting a new series about project management, based on the book: Projektmanagement: leistungen in der Bau- und Immobilienwirtschaft (2014). This book is the official guide of the german association of project managers in construction and i will synthesize some key points from it. It makes sense to renew and to expand your knowledge here and there. Project management is AHO is out of the HOAI standard for planning. Each project in AHO can be divided into 5 phases:
- Preparation of the project
- Planning
- Execution planning
- Execution
- Termination
There are four main areas of activity:
- Organisation
- Quality
- Costs
- Deadlines
They are pretty straightforward and I won’t go into the details. But here and there you can be working on a project, which has some special requirements. I will list them down below:
| Project development (Construction, Building development) | – Location Analysis – Buying the property – Usage concept (planning of needs) – Market research project development – Marketing – Contracts – Financing – Costs/deadlines – Income/rentability | AHO Book 19 (new property) AHO Book 21 (existing property) |
