MODELANDO LA INTEGRACIÓN DE GESTIÓN DE PROYECTO EN GESTIÓN DE OBRAS EDIFICACIÓN. UN ENFOQUE PARA JEFES DE OBRAS Y CONSTRUCTORAS.

Abstract

The need for tools to achieve a higher level of competitiveness and profitability has made management systems an important partner for construction companies. The environment in which building projects are carried out is dynamic, mainly characterized by complexity, uncertainty, interdependence, nonlinearity, ambiguity and speed. Dynamic means that the system changes its state, characteristics and behaviour over time. The construction process can be considered as one of the most complex activities of any industry. A Building Project, as a process, is a Complex Adaptive System. A system-model for managing building projects could conceptualize this complex reality, providing coordination and integration, flexibility and adaptability to multiple inherent functions, achieving a satisfactory solution, neither perfect nor optimal, because of the changing behaviour of this reality. Such a model would allow systematizing management processes for small and medium general contractors operating in the built environment. In this study, a conceptual framework for the development of such a system-model is established.
