Should the owner’s construction management system include a civil engineering management system, an equipment installation management system, and a piping, instrumentation, and electrical management system?

Should the owner’s construction management systems include systems for civil engineering work (such as the quality control of earthwork, foundation work, pile foundations, steel structures, etc.), systems for equipment installation (such as quality control during the installation of large-scale machinery, lifting equipment, spherical tanks, industrial furnaces, etc.), systems for pipeline quality control (such as pipeline installation, buried pipelines, valve testing, etc.), systems for electrical installation, and systems for instrument installation? These construction management systems are generally derived from standards and specifications. Logically, if design firms follow these standards and specifications while construction firms carry out work in accordance with the design requirements and relevant standards, then such construction management systems on the part of the owner would be unnecessary. What do you think?
The owner’s construction management should not be owner-centered; it should rely on the project management team, as well as supervisors and contractors, with the owner filing the construction plan when deemed necessary. Owners should pay attention to production and operation management.
For very large projects involving multiple design and construction firms, I believe it is necessary for the owner to establish appropriate systems. A unified platform for design and construction standards and specifications can be created, which will facilitate the owner’s operation and maintenance efforts in the future
It’s certain that one can’t rely on supervisors; a third-party project management team has to be hired at cost
The owners don’t understand; they’re just waiting to get scammed.
Where does the owner’s management system come from? It still comes from **, industry standards, or local standards~~ So, the basic principle is to seek common ground while reserving differences~~
It’s as if to say that although a constitution has been established, other sector-specific laws still need to be created; specific illegal acts must be regulated by specific laws. These standards can be used as a reference to formulate relevant management regulations for the owner, taking into account the characteristics of the owner’s project, the challenges in management, and potential risks. These regulations should then be included in the contract, so as to effectively hold relevant parties accountable. Otherwise, when problems arise, one would have to refer to these standards, which is not only time-consuming but also fails to ensure that focus is maintained and that all aspects are addressed properly. Of course, existing relevant standards and mandatory policies are not violated by any experienced company. Formulating the systems for one’s own company is also aimed at highlighting key management priorities.
Now, few property owners understand project construction； The owner will not employ personnel during the construction period
It’s just, uh. Private companies all adopt the E+P+C model. This approach requires high levels of project management capability from the owner, but usually the owners do not hire specialized project management firms to handle the management; instead, they employ managers from previous construction companies to oversee the project’s construction. On one hand, this results in poor quality control of the project, and on the other hand, it creates difficulties regarding what to do with these employees after the project is completed. The systems established are also designed from a construction perspective, rather than from the perspective of the owner (the project operator).
If projects are carried out on a continuous basis over a long period, it is recommended to establish one’s own project team and professional management staff. After all, doing things on one’s own gives more autonomy and involves more involvement in management, which can also help save a considerable amount of costs
It is difficult to find a construction management team that is truly committed to the interests of the owner; however, if the owner forms such a team on their own, the cost will be even higher
