Image credit: UnsplashConstruction projects, particularly in industrial environments, are often managed through project-level objectives such as time, cost, scope, and quality. However, these objectives do not always fully reflect the broader business strategy and value expectations that motivate the underlying investment. This white paper introduces IBOCM, an initial conceptual framework designed to strengthen the alignment between business strategy and construction management. It proposes a business-oriented perspective on construction management, connecting project-level decisions and management practices with the strategic objectives of the organization. Rather than viewing construction management solely as a project execution function, IBOCM encourages a more integrated understanding of the relationship between business objectives, project governance, managerial decisions, and value creation. Developed in the context of industrial construction, the framework provides a conceptual foundation for reconsidering how construction projects are managed in relation to their broader business purpose. This white paper presents the framework as an initial contribution and a basis for further development and practical application.
