Djelatnost upravljanja projektom gradnje u Republici Hrvatskoj: analiza trenutačnog stanja

Abstract

This study analyses the current state of the activities of construction project management in the Republic of Croatia (CPM), which, although in the seventh year of existence, still does not have a uniform approach for public contracting authorities/entities. Limitations and ambiguities in the legal platform for CPM have been identified: inconsistent terminology, mutual inconsistency of regulations, overlap of authority and duties of the supervision/(FIDIC) Engineer and project manager (PM), insufficient precision of misdemeanour provisions, and lack of timely involvement of PM in the project as a consequence of misunderstanding, by the public contracting authorities/entities, of the importance of the influence of PM on the success of the construction project. However, the presentation of good practices and insight into international standards illustrates the need for additional standardisation of currently certain aspects of uncoordinated and sub-regulated areas, and the simultaneous need for deregulation. In conclusion, this study provides guidelines for the further standardisation of DUPG and harmonisation of existing regulations for sustainable and efficient projects.
