Present day construction projects are very different from that in the past, because of the following reasons:

technology improvement, competitive markets, lack of skilled work force, high demand and expectation from customers, fund shortage, stringent schedule commitments, do more with less attitudes, project failures etc.

Under these circumstances, over and above core domain knowledge and experience, a PMP -  Project Management Professional credential do have a vital role to play in succesful management of Projects in the Construction Industry. But debate is on wheteher PMPs are given any due recoginition in INDIAN Construction Industry?

yes even i too agree Nitin that there is no such credentials for a PMP professional in construction, as such most of them are not aware of it as it is in the case of IT industry, construction still recognises experience more than these certifications...so there is not much happening for a PMP professional in Construction industry.

Daring dashing persons with a little knowledge and initiative are growing to Project Managers where as top ranked persons are turned in to paper workers. There will be a regular clash between these both and however the management's extreme support will be to the speed working project managers only. Here there is no chance for a planning engineer to implement anything at work.

If the management deployes planning managers to plan the work at HO and implements rigorously at site with regular monitering, then the PMP can be succesful in construction industry.

I am disheartened to say the truth- "NO". As on date PMP credential has just been a value addition or a professiona skill developement for an individual as such, where as there hasn't been any due recogniition given to PMPs in the Indian Construction Industry.

There are several reasons for this : Lack of knowledge on PMPs credentials, less emphasis on Project Management skills and its importance in attaining project success, lack of effective and practical tranning and education in the field of Construction Project Management.
