| Abstract | Managing multiple contractors in complex projects presents multifaceted challenges, from ensuring quality control to coordinating diverse tasks amidst dynamic changes. This study delves into the complexities of overseeing numerous contractors within the broader framework of real estate development, emphasizing the need for a tailored Owner's Project Management Strategy. By examining the intricacies of managing multiple contractors in infrastructure projects, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in such endeavors. Through a thorough investigation of theories and practices in project management, coupled with a detailed analysis of real world case studies, the study seeks to identify key factors influencing the effective management of multiple contractors. The study highlights the importance of coordination, both within the project team and with external stakeholders, in achieving project success. It explores strategies for quality control, emphasizing the need for clear scopes of work and responsibilities to minimize variations in work quality. Additionally, the study examines the dynamics of contractual relationships, particularly in the context of developing nations like Myanmar where international standards and practices may not be uniformly adopted. Furthermore, the study addresses safety management concerns, recognizing the heightened potential for clashes in safety procedures and priorities when multiple contractors operate in the same location. It advocates for the establishment of a unified safety approach to mitigate safety hazards and conflicts among contractors. Drawing upon these insights, the study formulates recommendations for the development of a robust Owner's Project Management Strategy tailored to the unique challenges of managing multiple contractors in infrastructure projects. The proposed strategy aims to enhance coordination, ensure quality control, foster collaborative contractual relationships, and prioritize safety management. By implementing these recommendations, project owners can navigate the complexities of infrastructure development more effectively, ultimately contributing to sustainable urban development in regions undergoing rapid urbanization. |
