It is a widely accepted impression that Construction is one of the most challenging industries across the globe. And the reasons for this are not hard to understand:
(1) Vulnerability to socio-economic turbulence
(2) Extreme dependence on weather conditions
(3) Heavy on investments and funding
(4) Manpower intensive
(5) Strict Regulations and complex Approvals/Licensing processes
When weighed in on the parameters of size, scale, and impact, the construction industry exceeds the other sectors by a significant margin. While construction is being reckoned as a single industry, it is actually an integration of numerous market sectors. Construction projects are not only critical for the developers, but also play a key role in the economics of the country, especially the developing nations. Hence, it is imperative that the construction activities be accomplished in an efficient way, and such efficiency cannot be achieved without specialized strategic and management expertise.
Within the construction space, Airport projects in particular are quite complex with their unique nuances and idiosyncrasies. The construction of an airport entails a diversity of activities and programs at the airside, terminal as well as landside zones. The onus is on the Airport operator to ensure proper management of air transport operations as well as coordination with the contractor and other agencies.

Such synergies can be facilitated by efficient Project Management experts, and the above infographic is an overview of how project management capabilities can enhance the operations at every aspect and phase of construction.
