Therefore, although like the project objectives, the organization objectives will be set initially in the client’s organization, they must invariably vary to suit the changing project situation whilst always ensuring that the project objectives are being met. H OW CAN THE INDIVIDUAL FIRM’S ‘ORGANIZATIONAL’ OBJECTIVES BE HARMONIZED TO MEET BOTH ITS AND CLIENT’S ‘ORGANIZATIONAL’ OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROJECT? In a construction project, where the team comprises people from many different participating design and construction firms, it is inevitable that two sets of varying business objectives have to be catered for effectively if the project is to go well.

The only difference is that in other methods either the designer or the specialist trade contractor provides his or her service or product through a construction manager acting as an overall ‘contractor’. This arrangement best shows the reality of any project, in that dual reporting is always needed because there are always both design and construction management issues to be considered by all parties to the process.
