Project implementation in construction encompasses a set of objectives that may be accomplished by executing a series of operations subject to resource constraints. The functions of project implementation for construction generally include the following:

	Specification of project objectives and plans including delineation of scope, budgeting, scheduling, setting performance requirements and selecting project participants
	Maximisation of efficient resource utilisation through procurement of labour, materials and equipment according to the prescribed schedule and plan
	Implementation of various operations through proper coordination and control of planning, design, estimating, contracting and construction in the entire process
	Development of effective communications and mechanisms for resolving conflicts among the various participants

Effective Project Implementation is the key to influencing the construction costs of a project, as any decision made at the beginning of a project life cycle has far greater influence than those made at later stages
