The key phases of project management and construction

Regardless of the size, cost, complexity, or type of project being

undertaken, any well-run project will follow a broadly similar process or

life-cycle.


Flow chart showing the five stages of a construction project

The project process is a set of phases (or stages), activities and actions

that must be completed to take the project from its inception, through to

completion.

The activities are usually grouped into phases (the process we describe

has five clear phases) and generally run in sequence (although

overlapping activities can sometimes be necessary and beneficial).

The project process provides structure and control, provides clear

checkpoints and ‘go/no-go’ decision points along the way. It also allows

the project to be broken down into manageable and quantifiable pieces

for everyone involved in the project.


Our 5-stage process kicks off with Project Initiation, followed by Design

and Bid & Award stages. The 4th step of the process is the exciting

Execution stage, with the project then concluded with the Handover &

Close Out stage.

This guide explores the detail of each stage. For a light touch introduction, please take a look at our Project Process guide.

From there follow links to learn about each stage in more detail.

Maybe you're taking on a construction project yourself, something straightforward and small-scale. You could be on a shoe-string budget.

​Maybe you’re fitting out your shop, or restaurant, or pub, or perhaps

you’re building a straightforward extension to your house. Either way, you might not have the budget for a dedicated project manager and this is exactly why MiPM is here to help. 


If your project is a little more complex, or you just want the comfort of

knowing that bespoke advice is available as often as you need it, MiPM

on Demand is what you need. Sign up to unlimited calls or online

meetings with a project manager who knows your project.
