Construction Project Management for a Construction Company: a Case Study of a New Urban Waste Treatment and Recovering Plant

The construction market in Italy is suffering of maturity problems since last decades of the twentieth century. In 1990 due to "tangentopoli" scandal, Italian public works law was reformed, with the aim of competing with the whole European market. In this context construction firms that were more close to Project Management thinking started company wide re-engineering processes to became project oriented organisations. The present paper will describe the management system implemented in a Project Oriented Construction Company, its changes and improvements due to evolution in time, its organisational structure and the tools used by the management system. The paper will also describe a case study of a construction project of a urban waste recycling plant.
