A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK� Guide) provides generalized project management guidance applicable to most projects most of the time. In order to apply this generalized guidance to construction projects, the Project Management Institute has developed the Construction Extension to the PMBOK� Guide.

This approach broadens the applicability of the Construction Extension by increasing the focus on the "what” and "why” of construction project management. This Construction Extension also includes discussion of emerging trends and developments in the construction industry that affect the application of project management to construction projects.
