Abstract: Particularities of construction industry involve coordinating multiple value chains in relation to a main product construction process that also may be viewed as the core value chain in its industrial network. This particularity demands adapted approaches to engineering management in the construction industry. Based on a case study of offshore supply vessel shipbuilding, a model of engineering management adapted to empirical particularities found within this industry is provided.
