ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS IN DELAY OF REAL ESTATE PROJECTS

Real Estate Project performs various activities like planning, organizing, directing and controlling of resources to achieve a specific goal. Many processes are performed in order to complete a Real Estate Project. These processes involve: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Controlling and Closing. To accomplish a Real Estate Project, various plans are made. Many team members are involved in these plans and activities. Each plan has a specific goal which is achieved in a specified time-limit. Real Estate Project management monitors all these activities and plans so that the man goal of the whole Real Estate Project can be achieved. In this changing world, a business also needs to change according to the external environment. It needs to adapt itself so as to survive in this competitive world. A business will be finished if it does not make any changes in its policies according to market requirements. Hence, it is very necessary for an organization to know what kind of changes are going on in the market; so that it can also adapt itself according to the changing environment and survive. Without a Project management, organizations may lose the knowledge and skills gained from the completed Projects. The current study deals with the significance of Real Estate Project management in an organization. Today is the time of competition. An organization needs to be flexible in order to sustain in this competitive world. It has to change its policies and rules according to the changing environment of a business. Many Real Estate Projects are run by an organization to enhance its business. It is very difficult task for an organization to monitor each and every Real Estate Project. Each Real Estate Project is important for an organization as a lot of time and money is associated with a single Real Estate Project. Hence, failure of a single Real Estate Project can cause a lot of financial loss for on organization. Therefore, Real Estate Project management is organized to keep monitoring on the Real Estate Projects of an organization. It is the responsibility of Real Estate Project management to control the activities of a Real Estate Project and accomplish it within the time-period and budget. The current study highlights the importance of Real Estate Project management in the development of an organization. These days, many concepts are generating to assist Real Estate Project management. successful implementation of Real Estate Projects. The trend of REPMO in an organization is also increasing. REPMO is also very helpful in identifying the risk involved in a Real Estate Project. Hence, appropriate actions can be taken on time to overcome the risk of delay of Real Estate Project. The current study is very helpful to know about the importance of Real Estate Project management. The phases of a Real Estate Project life cycle are: • Conceptual • Planning • Testing • Implementation/ Execution • Closure In conceptual phase, the problem is defined. Here, only the problem is discussed it means that attention is given on what to do not on how to do the work.

DISCUSSION

In planning phase, work-plans are made. A single Real Estate Project is so complex. Hence, it is broken into several tasks to reduce its complexity. If the size of the task is also high then it is further sub-divided into sub-tasks. And this process of decomposing the Real Estate Project continues until the Real Estate Project becomes easier. Then, the responsibility is assigned to engineers and sub-engineers for each and every task and sub-tasks. In the third phase i.e. testing; once the Real Estate Project is accomplished then the whole Real Estate Project is tested to ensure that there is no problem or issue in the Real Estate Project. If any problem is found then it is removed on the urgent-basis. This phase is considered to be successful when no error is found. In the final phase, the task of implementing the Real Estate Project is done and several techniques like parallel-system, direct removal etc. are used to implement the Real Estate Project. In the final phase i.e. closure; the Real Estate Project is terminated after being implemented and executed successfully.

Project management plays an important role in making a Real Estate Project to be successful. However, it is not exact science. It does not give full guarantee for the successfully completion of a Real Estate Project. But, the probability for a Real Estate Project to be successful increases if Real Estate Project management is involved because it monitors each and every activity of the Real Estate Project.

CONCLUSION

It also monitors that every activity of a Real Estate Project should complete in the given time and cost constraint. Since, a Real Estate Project is a collection of various activities which are inter-related with each other, so if every activity is executed successfully then in the broader way; a Real Estate Project also gets successful.
