Why do I need a project manager?
Project managers help to ensure projects are completed to the highest standards, within time and budget. They also assist with the early identification and mitigation of risks, effective resource management and effective communication with key internal and external stakeholders of a business, keeping them updated on the status of a project.
Not having a project manager overseeing project plans could lead to critical risks arising, such as teams prioritising the wrong tasks at the wrong times, subsequently leading to missed milestones and deviation from critical paths. A lack of a project management can also have negative impacts on resourcing of staff and materials, budgeting and overall project efficiency and completion.
We are your eyes and ears as we skilfully manage relations between the client and planners, local authorities, contractors and the design team, providing strategic guidance and advice at every stage.
As the construction industry faces a range of challenges, including tighter budgets and the importance of safeguarding investors’ interests, we can navigate our projects to a successful conclusion by paying close attention to every detail.
What does a building project manager do?
A building project manager makes sure the project is delivered on time and oversees all phases of the building process, making sure it is within budget.
Our talented building project managers use a data-first approach with a laser-sharp commercial focus to bring outstanding results to each construction project lifecycle.
Our professional team always works to a client’s cost remit, quality standards and timeframes, no matter how complex the project. We offer bespoke plans to help your business meet its goals and coordinate all the project’s moving parts.
We are effectively acting as the employer’s agent, managing everything in the process on behalf of the client. As well as setting up the project, we will operate regular site inspections and valuations on the work, having a tight control of the programme and budget.
What is project management in construction?
Project management in construction is ensuring your project runs smoothly from the start. We ensure everything is correctly set up and involves all the right parties, including regular reporting and programme quality compliance with planning and building regulations.
Our experienced project managers work on a huge range of instructions. One of our building surveyors might oversee a smaller project in its entirety, specifying the work, putting it out to tender and running it to completion before handing over to the client. They build a close relationship with the client as they monitor the day-to-day activities.
We specialise in early engagement with larger projects from the initial feasibility study, creating a design team and advising on costs and timescales, to guiding it through the planning and regulatory process. Or we can simply be appointed at a later stage, like contractors, to deliver the building work.
Clients can rest assured that we work closely on the ground to ensure the programme of works is being adhered to and all the necessary documentation – the Golden Thread – is in place for onward occupation, sale or management, knowing the building is fully compliant. That means we, or future asset owners or managers, can quickly react to any potential issues.
