Developing a High-Performance Engineering Team to Achieve Cost-Scope-Time-Quality Optimization in Complex HVAC Projects: A Management and Project Leadership Perspective

AbstractThe research gives insights into the importance of high-performance engineering teams in the optimization of cost, scope, time, and quality in the complex HVAC projects. With the growing technicality and integration of the HVAC systems, the traditional methods of project management fail to provide the dimensional complexity of coordination, efficiency and quality assurance. The research, in a management and project leadership point of view, identifies that effective team development achieved through effective servant-oriented leadership and specific managerial practices are relevant in increasing team motivation, team effectiveness, and the overall success of the project. The paper also advances a new combined project management theory geared towards HVAC project settings, to counter the special operation, technical, and organizational nuances that make these projects not similar to other engineering sectors. It bridges a significant gap in the literature of HVAC project management because it addresses both human and process aspects, and provides a unified model of education that helps to make better decisions, improve the work of a team, and achieve better project resultsKeywords: High performance engineering teams, HVAC project management, Leadership Management, project success, team effectiveness, integrated project management
