Reducing variability in project management through the combinationof dynamic dual-layer processes

Abstract

Real estate projects are characterized by the collaboration of multiple stakeholders, including owners, investors, designers, production teams, and commercial partners. These projects involve complex, long-term processes that require efficient management to ensure competitiveness. Traditionally, project management has focused primarily on activities, which limits the ability to manage task dependencies, deliverable validation, and milestone tracking. To address these limitations, we propose a dual-layer process management approach. The upper layer focuses on optimizing activity coordination, while the lower layer is dedicated to document management. This model integrates a standardized data structure that automatically generates project schedules, which are distributed through process management software. This software automates task assignments, improving visibility and control across the project. This comprehensive and transparent approach allows stakeholders to reliably track project progress, ensuring that quality, cost, and timeline objectives are met, ultimately safeguarding the projected profitability. © 2025 by the authors.
