Abstract
Construction is a sector that plays a key role in economies around the world. At the same time, it faces various challenges that affect its efficiency, sustainability and ability to contribute to societal development. Integrated construction management is a key tool for ensuring the successful and sustainable progress of construction projects, not only in terms of finance, but also in terms of environmental and social aspects. This publication explores the application of integrated construction process management (ICPM) as a strategic approach to addressing environmental issues and optimising resource use in the construction industry. The research explores the current state of the art in the levels of integrated project management in construction companies, The study highlights the importance of a holistic and coordinated management framework that integrates different aspects of construction processes. The primary objective of the research was to ascertain the in-formation on methods and practices that contribute to effective resource management. The research analyses the processes and use of integrated project management tools in construction companies, such as integrated communication, integrated management tools and technologies, risk management options and methods, resource optimization, and examines the main challenges, opportunities and observations related to integrated management of the construction project and the company as a whole. The originality of the research lies in defining key innovations that directly contribute to improving competitiveness, solving problems, managing resources, developing society and implementing sustainable project management. In addition to the above, respondents prioritized specific benefits that will help support sustainable project management. At the end of the paper, the goals of future research.
