  The construction industry has grown along with mankind, from the earliest basic shelters to today¡¯s most complex designs. Today the industry is challenged to respond positively to a rapidly changing industrial environment.

Construction processes have also been transformed, from merely erecting structures to complete management of built environments based on extensive knowledge, experience and management skill. We call this comprehensive group of services Construction Management, and it has become a global center of attention.

CM is being recognized worldwide as the ideal tool to assure the best possible outcome by managing construction systematically and efficiently throughout its life cycle.

We, as the professionals of the world construction community, should exert our efforts to promote the effectiveness of CM more widely and facilitate the broadest adoption of CM for the perfect construction of our global village.

Keeping all these trends and sentiments in mind, we need to create an opportunity for the construction industry to play its role as a leader in promoting prosperity for mankind, especially by taking the initiative ourselves in this noble mission.

We therefore hereby declare that the second Monday in March of each year will be the "International Construction Management Day."
