The construction industry is characterized by a highly competitive and challenging environment. Contractors face numerous obstacles, such as fluctuating market conditions, tight deadlines, labor shortages, rising material costs, regulatory compliance, project complexity, financial management, safety concerns, quality control, technology adoption, and sustainability concerns. These challenges can significantly impact the performance, competitiveness, and profitability of construction contractors.

In response to these challenges, contractors are seeking innovative ways to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and create value within their organizations. Implementing PMO (Project Management Office) and Portfolio Management is one such approach that can help contractors overcome these obstacles and enhance their operations.

This eBook explores how PMO and Portfolio Management can be applied to multisector contractors operating in the construction industry, specifically in the areas of roads, buildings, water, power, and ports.

The eBook discusses various PMO types and compares them with the Portfolio Management approach, guiding contractors in choosing the best PMO structure for their organization. It also outlines how PMO and Portfolio Management can enhance the operations of different departments, including Business Development, Tendering, Purchasing and Supply Chain, Financial, HR, and Legal. Furthermore, it delves into the suggested organization structure, roles and responsibilities, decision-making, and involvement of the executive management board and steering committee.

By following the guidelines and recommendations outlined in this eBook, construction contractors can effectively implement PMO and Portfolio Management in their organization, leading to increased cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and value creation.
