Bringing resilience and sustainability to construction project management

The calls to address issues around construction project performance and competition in the global market are increasing across the industry.

This represents a big opportunity for the project management role, founded in proper training, qualifications, regulation, and standards that inspire trust and confidence. The adequate incorporation of the profession, considering what the future of work will be, will allow the global construction sector to benefit from better value for money. Portuguese construction is no exception. The industry must ask itself: what are the impacts of not properly managing and delivering projects?
