2PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Planning and Control of Quality
Making sure of the fact that a quality project is being delivered helps in making sure
of the fact the clients are being happy with the product that is delivered at the end of the
project (Walker 2015). For the construction projects the quality control plan is associated
with looking into specific areas of the project which might be responsible for affecting the
quality and followed by this the plan is associated with outlining the way by which these
areas can be controlled. These areas might be including the personnel, subcontractors,
materials and procedures however they are not limited to only these areas (Lock 2016). One
such example is that the lack of inspection procedures might eb associated with leading to
serious quality issues in the project. So, the implementation of quality control plan by having
specified inspection procedures would be associated with making sure that the quality issues
are not occurring.
Based on the project and what the client is looking for the quality plan is to be crafted
and before making the final plan it is to made sure that everything is being discussed with the
client in a proper way so as to have a mutual understanding with the client. This would be
helping in making sure that the plan is successful (Sears et al. 2015). Before the plan is put
together it is essential to know about the construction industry quality standard which needs
to eb reviewed and which building codes are to be applied to the project.
Human resources:
Human resources generally refer to the organizational functions which is associated
with dealing with the peoples as well as the issues which are related to the people. Like other
projects the construction project also requires human resource management and this includes
the management of the people in specific areas. The role played by the human resources in a

construction project is considered to be huge (Grover and Froese 2016). The human resources
generally refer to the function which deals with the people who are in charge of the project.
The construction project generally requires a group of people who would be organized into a
team and they would be having an aim of achieving specific goals in accordance to demands
of the clients. So, from here the human resource management can be linked with the project
team (Hughes, Champion and Murdoch 2015). The construction project would be evaluated
by considering its success. Thus, it can be concluded that the Human resource management in
the project management has to play a fundamental as well as strategic role in the success of
the project.
The role that is played by human resources in a project management can be
distinguished into several layers and this layers generally varies from three to six. Four of the
major roles played by the human resource in the project management includes the Planning of
the Human resource (Demirkesen and Ozorhon 2017). Whereas according to other studies
there exist six key practices which are linked with the human resource management activities
and the two more activities which were identified included the Mobilization and the Culture
Integration. The three most important processes which exists within the role of human
resources in the process of managing the project have been discussed below and this includes
the selection, managing and lastly training (Burtonshaw-Gunn 2017). This are three most
important practices which are associated with enabling eth process of analyzing the major
challenges that are faced by the human resource managers whenever they are involved in the
project management.
Firstly the selection process, this generally refers to the process of choosing the right
people who are going to take part in the project team. The selection of the appropriate project
team acts as the base of the project (Turner 2017). Selection of the people generally refers to
the selection of the appropriate project tea, in accordance to the skills that are required for the
