Abstract

This dissertation addresses the area of project management and the various skills and stages involved in the position. It also looks at the building surveying profession and identifies the attributes that they can bring to a project team on a refurbishment project. When both of these areas are analysed, the findings are then amalgamated to find what the optimum requirements and skills are to be a successful project manager on a refurbishment project. The first stage of the dissertation was to explain and outline the job description of the project manager. Following this the project life cycle was then explained and evaluated. Once this was achieved the stages involved in project management were outlined and explained. A Chapter was completed on the attributes of a building surveyor and what he/she can bring to a project team as a PM. The different types and scales of refurbishment were then explained and a case study was the last piece of literature to be carried out for this dissertation. The Case Study was a vital part of this dissertation as it gave an insight into project management form people working in the industry that have real experience and knowledge in relation to the area.
