The present research aims to gather the most impactful political, economic and practical developments of the last 50 years, providing a vademecum to put into practice as a panacea for an alarming issue that concerns the Italian construction industry: the abundance of sites abandoned or put on hold indefinitely in Italy. The vademecum is intended to support ex-ante the professional figures that in Italy manage the construction projects and sites to solve the issues that may affect the success of them. The present research moves from a study that I conducted in London for "THE Italian-Construction Work Sites-On-Hold issue finds a solution in the delayed adoption of the pm role within the process." as my final dissertation in 2020, aimed at addressing the issue mentioned above as a direct link to the absence of construction project management within the Italian scenario.
