Abstract

The Architect's function, among other activities, is to manage several projects simultaneously. Sometimes it becomes difficult to manage the quantity of information on each project and the following actions, so it will require a standardisation of the tasks to avoid losing the focus on activities.

This research investigates the effectiveness of implementing a Project Management Plan for standardisation in multi-projects in the Architectural field. Being specific and straight in the solutions of Architectural Projects is required to improve the quality of the construction works and be more profitable for firms. The research is direct for the Architectural community. The study will have three main subjects to address. The first subject is the benefits of implementing a project management plan for standardisation. The second concerns what is required to standardise by a multi-project firm, including how to manage the implementation. Finally, the success and failure of projects.

The research requires a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews to answer the proposed investigation. The interviewees will be six Project Managers in the construction industry with around ten years of experience managing multi-projects in 30 to 40 min discussions. The leading focus of the finding addressed the relation between the standardisation of projects through the Project Management Plan, the application of business strategies, project success factors and project management standards, practices and processes applied in many projects.
