1. Business processes in the Building and Contracting Business sectors can fundamentally be categorized into two headings:

1.1     Business Processes of Project Management

1.2     Business Processes of Corporate Management

 1.1. Business Processes of Project Management

 The core of the Business Processes of Project Management is to elaborate and manage the work schedule of the project to be implemented.

 The Work Schedule is elaborated and managed by the project administrator and team.

 Key essential factors in elaborating the work schedule are as follows:

 * identifying the activities to be performed throughout the project and the locations,

 * assigning labor, material and machinery to such activities,

 * scheduling the starting dates and deadlines, and

 * building up “start-end” relations with other activities within the project.

Gantt Diagrams may be used to simplify the process of tracking the work schedule. Gantt Diagrams present the start dates and deadlines, and the cross “start-end” relations of activities on a time graph much more visually and clearly.

Work schedule is of great essence for the management of the project, because all activities under the project are implemented in line with the work schedule. This way, labor, material and machinery are utilized in conformance to the activities defined in the work schedule.

 1.2 Business Processes of Corporate Management

The Business Processes of Corporate Management are made up of key functions including but not limited to the following:

                 Tender tracking,

               Payrolls and Personal Rights of Employees, 

               Document Management  

These business processes are administreted by the supervisors of various departments within the organization. 

2. Relationships between the Business Processes of the Project Management and Business Processes of Corporate Management: 

The work schedule that incorporates the business processes of project management are always in contact with the business processes of corporate management. Likewise, business processes of corporate management are also cross-related with each other. 

Based upon the work schedule, the logistics, purchasing, finance and human resources departments of the organization identify when and where to use what resource and take the necessary measures accordingly. In other words, the purchasing department takes the purchasing or leasing action to make available the needed materials and machineries for the demanding unit. The finance department takes measures for necessary payments. The logistics department undertakes the allocation of materials and machines according to the timing requirements and the demanding unit. Likewise, the Human Resources Department elaborates the necessary labour plan, hires new taskforce if necessary to acquire the availability of the needed taskforce at the demanding organizational unit. 

Work schedules may be revised for many times due to particular internal and external factors after the project is started, and with such revisions, starting dates and deadlines of many of the activities within the work schedule and resource requirements may change. In this case, the resource-providing departments should immediately be advised to avoid the allocation of wrong volume of resources to the wrong destination at the wrong timing.
