Handbook for turnkey deliveries

Abstract

This thesis focused on studying best practises on project management and learning about different project delivery methods to develop a handbook for turnkey project deliveries. Constructive research methods were employed to study the source material. Different project management handbooks were benchmarked to create a turnkey project management handbook that can be used as a basis for a project plan, or as an introduction to turnkey projects. The result of these studies is a turnkey project management handbook. The handbook is divided into four chapters that each describe the essential tasks of project management in different phases of a project’s lifecycle. The chapters consist of information on project management practises as well as tips on how a project can be managed, and a list of project meetings that are held during a project. The study concluded that project management requires careful planning and execution. To reach optimal results projects need to be reviewed after completion to provide the project organisation with information on how to further develop their projects. Further development potential was found in certain project progression tracking and project organisation structures.
