hello,
The major difference between Infrastructure management and construction management is that, Infrastructure management has got a bigger aspect of covering Design, construction, operations, finances etc. of a wider project. It involves a lot of stakeholders from various fields such as Legal, financial, environmental, construction, government etc.Majority of Infrastructure projects in India are done on PPP(public private partnership) model.
While construction management is dedicated to construction part of a project. It has limited application with the construction part of the project.
In Infrastructure project mostly government is involved as it covers a wider public as beneficiary, while construction management projects are mostly carried by civil contractors.
Example: In a highway construction project, Earning, procurement, Design, building, Finances,SPV(special purpose vehicle) such as tolls etc. will come under umbrella of Infrastructure management.
While construction of highway after all planning, finances and legal formalities by a Pvt. or govt. civil contractor will come under construction management that includes scheduling of construction, resource levelling, time cost trade-off etc.
hope this will help you
all the best!!
