The evolution of Project Management Consultancy in Real Estate

Project Managers have been involved in the construction of complex buildings since centuries, although in that period it was the architect himself overseeing the entire construction of the ancient structures such as the pyramids in Egypt and the aqueducts of Rome and more. The technical guideline to project management began to formulate in corporate America around World War II and by the 1950’s they had become an integral part of all civil construction and corporate projects. Post World War II a Project Management Consultant (PMC) began to follow two methods of managing projects:
