Project Management for Building Work in Preston

Building and Project Management

Monitoring the Project

Following the initial planning of any building project, it is essential that a good project manager is able to monitor the schedule and budget of the build to allow them to keep control of the available resources and benefits delivered. As the project progresses, deadlines, estimates and milestones may require alteration.

Problem Management

All building projects are unique, as are the potential problems which can occur. An experienced project manager can avoid obvious problems, deal with risk management and control any unforeseen issues when they do present themselves to minimise impact on the final results.

Communication

A client must be able to easily communicate their wishes through a good project manager to the workforce. Project management will involve honest and open communication between all people involved in the building process.

Managing People

There will be a complex range of individuals involved in any small to large building work such as extensions or new builds. A project manager will be able to motivate those involved in the project, designate tasks, provide constructive feedback and be responsible for ensuring the workforce is productive and cooperative.

Phases of Project Management

Initial Development

The initial phase of a project is to determine the final results expected. This offers the client and contractor the opportunity to discuss realistic goals which need to be met. This stage will define budget, deadlines and other considerations.

Building Planning

The planning of a building may require architectural advice and other planning applications to be undertaken including communication with local authorities. A project manager will establish the workforce required at each time of the build and dates for required deliveries of tools and materials.

Building Construction

Each person or group assigned a task within the building project should know their place and dates that they are required work on site. Deliveries will be coordinated by the project manager to arrive when the workers need them.

Project Closure

Following the final construction, all building work will need to be approved and passed as up to the Building Standards. The project can be formally closed when the contracted work has been completed according to the original agreements.
