    How To Choose Project Management Consultants

    Project management is more

    complicated than it sounds. It is

    more than applying knowledge andskills to project activities in order to

    meet its requirements. The level of

    complexity becomes even more

    challenging when the project

    involves massive construction or

    engineering works. There are, as

    you can imagine, several issues to consider and work on to secure a construction

    project that is not going to cost more than its allotted budget and one that is

    going to yield multiple benefits for the contracting client.

    In order to guarantee such favorable results from your construction project, you

    need project management that is going to be systematic and effective. You have

    the option to designate an employee to manage the project internally. However,

    the successful outcome of this option will depend on the employees and your

    organizations capabilities and infrastructure in handling construction projects. A

    better option might be to consider external project management consultantsspecializing in the construction industry professionals who not only have the

    existing infrastructure to handle construction projects of every scale but also the

    experience to see them through successfully.

    A starting point for finding the right consulting agency would be to scrutinize the

    kinds of projects the agency has worked on. It would certainly be ideal to see

    construction and/or engineering projects managed for the government as this can

    indicate tremendous capabilities and resources as well as noteworthy reputation.If state or local agencies have repeatedly used the project management

    specialists services, you can safely assume that the planning, execution, and

    control accomplished for these complex construction projects have resulted in

    pleasing conclusions.

    Another key element to finding the right project management specialist is to

    determine its capabilities for implementing the processes of seeing projects

    through. In terms of project integration, does the specialist possess the leadership

    and extensive experience to put all the essential pieces of the project together?

    Can the scope of the project be managed in a systematic manner, without

    negatively impacting cost, quality, and time? Will the specialist have a deep

    understanding of how critical document administration is to the organization of

    every construction project?

    Project management demands a highly specialized set of skills as well as extensive

    experience. An internal employee, even one in management level positions, might

    not possess the knowledge, skills, and experience to make the right decisions that

    will ensure the successful outcome of any construction project. Moreover, acompany itself might not have the experience to handle large-scale projects.

    But a project management consultant will have the expertise and experience to

    make sure that every construction or engineering project your business does runs

    smoothly. So invest in a project management specialist. And secure successful

    results for your construction projects every single time. Click here to learn

    What You Can Do To Secure Effective Contract Management Solutions

    A missed obligation in a contract

    for any construction project could

    lead to unforeseen costs,probably litigation, and in some

    instances, risky working

    conditions that result in accidents.

    Clearly, businesses involved in

    building projects need to do more

    than thoroughly read the contract

    they have entered into with a

    client. Someone has to be responsible for keeping track of the obligations, the

    terms and conditions, the hundreds of documents resulting in these terms and

    conditions, and several other relevant matters concerning the contract. This

    means implementing effective contract management solutions.

    One possible solution to contract management might be through construction

    management software. The trouble with some software in the market is that they

    tend to do better at managing the processes involved in construction projects

    more than they manage the actual contracts. Moreover, some software might notbe able to provide a proper estimate of your companys exposure when

    unfavorable events happen. But aside from these limitations, you are still going to

    need someone who has the level of knowledge and experience in managing

    construction contracts.

    An effective solution would be to find an established project management

    company that has executed hundreds of contract management jobs for various

    projects. Whether you are the contracting client looking to choose the rightbuilder, engineers, and architects for your project or a builder looking to land

    those lucrative construction projects, you will want the expertise of a project

    management company. You not only gain access to their resources and proven

    systems but also benefit from their years of experience in seeing projects

    through, from the planning stage to the closing or delivery stage.

    When a project management company performs contract management duties, it

    may entail communications with the client over requirements for the project; it

    may involve a thorough review and follow up of designs; it may necessitate

    preparing cost estimations, and it may also entail devising and implementing a

    control system that will track the progress of the construction, the budget, and

    the quality set forth in the contract. On top of all these, the contract management

    service you have outsourced should also manage the hundreds of administrative

    documents from the project, as these documents can be very crucial in risk

    management.

    Contract management will not only protect your rights as a client, but it will also

    ensure that your construction project will meet the requirements stipulated in the

    contract from the cost to the quality. So whether you need to develop aconsiderable commercial property or are about to do a high-rise serviced

    apartment, make sure you have the resources and the expertise to manage all

    your construction contracts. Get professional contract management today.

    Successful Building Project Management Starts With The Right

    Manager

    Building or construction projects are

    understandably complex operations. A large

    number of workers and specialists are needed to

    perform a variety of functions and accomplish

    tasks simultaneously, so a high level of

    coordination and control is in order. Generally,

    building project management involves the

    following functions: (a) identification of the

    objectives and plans of the project such as

    delineation of scope, scheduling, budgeting and

    selecting participants; (b) proper utilization of

    resources which pertains to obtaining the

    appropriate equipment, materials and manpower

    for the job; (c) implementation of the different

    processes involved such as design, planning,

    contracting, estimating and the actual construction

    in the allotted budget and timeframe; and (d)

    overseeing communication strategies that would ensure the effective

    management of all individuals involved in the project and the resolution of any

    conflicts that could arise.

    Of course, for all of these functions to be successfully accomplished, an effective,

    reliable and highly qualified project manager must be at the helm. Construction

    projects are substantial investments on the part of the client, so it is only fitting to

    hire project management experts to take the lead.

    In your search for the best project manager for your building project, you need to

    be on the lookout for an expert who can excel at handling the following

    responsibilities:

    http://pioneeripm.com/en/index.php?p=serviceshttp://pioneeripm.com/en/index.php?p=serviceshttp://pioneeripm.com/en/index.php?p=serviceshttp://pioneeripm.com/en/index.php?p=serviceshttp://pioneeripm.com/en/index.php?p=serviceshttp://pioneeripm.com/en/index.php?p=serviceshttp://pioneeripm.com/en/index.php?p=serviceshttp://pioneeripm.com/en/index.php?p=services

    1. Managing the construction project tasks. This includes looking over the

    proposed project, creating a cost estimate, developing a deliverables schedule,

    procuring the equipment and materials to be used, setting specific project goals

    to keep the work on schedule and within the specified budget, and drafting

    contracts (with the client as well as with the materials suppliers, subcontractors

    and architects who will be hired for the project).

    2. Managing the people. Construction project managers have responsibilities

    similar to those of managers in virtually any other job field because they get work

    done through supervising and directing other people. Project managers are

    tasked with hiring the workers, coordinating their efforts, disciplining those who

    need a dose of it, and even deciding if a worker is not a good match for the

    project. He must also be skilled at communicating with both the client for whomthe project is being done and the construction company that hired him. Of course,

    regardless of the size of a project, disputes can arise among its workers, and the

    project manager must be able to find the best resolution to the conflict.

    3. Managing risk. A good construction manager must analyze the potential risks

    involved in the project (worker safety, work site conditions, public regulations,

    design miscalculations, environmental provisions, etc.) and devise a plan for

    monitoring operations and preventing or managing any negative outcomes.

    Why The Building Industry Requires Quantity Surveying Services

    Companies in big industries like

    construction and engineering

    require expert advice on manyof the aspects of their

    operations, especially when

    theyre carrying out a project

    for a client. Its imperative that

    they are able to measure

    different variables like costs, the

    efficacy of methodologies

    followed, etc. However, its hard

    to manage these things while theyre working too closely on the project it can

    be difficult to be thoroughly objective since there are home-grown interests

    that come into play.

    For this purpose, quantity surveying services provide the perfect solution.

    Quantity surveyors are equipped with industrial knowledge and can provide

    advice on a multitude of project requirements, making sure that costs are

    minimized while ensuring great value for the project. The services cover a widerange of project considerations such as Cost Planning, Contractual Advice, Cost-

    control and Financial Management, Facilities Management, Insurance Advice, Life

    Cycle Costing, Preliminary Cost Advice, Procurement Methods, Tendering,

    Valuation of Construction Work, and Value Management, to cite some.

    The services of quantity surveyors are so important prior to securing the project,

    while the project is being accomplished, and after the project has been

    completed. Prior to securing the project, most of the time big companies receivean invitation to tender (ITT), and if they are interested, they have to come up with

    a solid tender that highlights why they are the best company to take on the

    project. One of the predominant objectives in coming up with winning bids and

    tenders is to always keep project expenses down, and with the help of quantity

    surveyors, a construction company that will be tendering can easily be guided by

    the quantity surveyors towards the best options for materials and methods based

    on cost, degree of practicality and end value.

    Now, when the contracts been won, the same professionals can assist the

    company on how to effectively manage resources, costs of equipment andfacilities. Since procurement methods are under the umbrella of quantity

    surveyor services, surveyors offer their expertise and the tools necessary in

    finding the best contractors and suppliers for the project. Again, costs can be kept

    to a minimum without compromising the final outcome of the project.

    As for benefits after the project has been completed, the life cycle costing analysis

    will prove to be the most reliable reference in determining if the financial

    objectives were properly met or if the end-clients truly got the best value for their

    investment. It takes into account the overall quality of the constructed facility,

    reusability, maintainable, operational cost, maintenance, residual and disposal

    costs, and so much more.

    Theres still a host of other benefits and building companies that are seeking a

    competitive advantage by winning major projects definitely require quantity

    surveying services to do just that.View this linkfor inquire.

    Important Components Of Construction Project Planning And

    Scheduling

    Construction is considered a

    high-risk industry. Apart from

    the many hazards a

    construction project deals

    with, there are numerous

    policies to be upheld in order

    to go about the process with

    as few hassles as possible.

    And if the project was won in

    a bid, keeping costs down

    and completing the job

    within the given timeframe are major requirements that need to be properly

    addressed as well.

    Needless to say, its not easy even for industry experts, the set process or

    methodology can only do so much because there are always variables that are

    hard to control or only seem to work in theory and not reality. But the overall

    value of proper construction project planning and scheduling is how a company in

    charge of the project can stay thoroughly organized despite the difficulty of the

    task. Also, by clearly defining jobs and the role that each member of the project

    team has to take, its easier to streamline efforts and prevent superfluous

    activities.

    All these are presented in a comprehensive document that serves as a road-map

    to help determine which aspects of the project are being done on time and

    properly, and which are not. This document has to have the following importantcomponents:

    The first one would have to be the actual Project Plan; this identifies the Work

    Breakdown Structure, the effort and resources for the project, and the elaborate

    time-frame or schedule for every aspect of the project.

    Second is the Resource Plan which is all about identifying the resources

    (materials, labor, and equipment), and the schedule and activity for which they

    will be used. The Resource Plan is divided into two categories: the Resource

    Schedule Table which determines which item of labor, material or equipment is

    needed, and the Resource Usage Table which identifies the activity that these

    resources should be used for.

    Third is the Procurement Plan; this lists all the requirements of the project that

    would have to come from external suppliers, why they need to be outsourced,

    and how they will be procured. Included in this plan is a detailed explanation why

    such supplier and products were chosen.

    And the last one is Project Monitoring because everything has to go according to

    plan to achieve the construction projects target objectives. This is a very stringent

    process because of the importance of understanding the cause and effect of

    certain decisions, and how all these impact the complete process towards the

    goal.

    With all these components carefully consolidated, a construction project can be

    carried out in the timeliest, most compliant, organized and productive manner

    ensuring its successful completion.

    Project Planning Guide Your Businesss Roadmap To Successful

    Projects

    A project can fail even before it

    starts. When a critical element, such

    as scheduling an important phase of

    the project, is completely

    overlooked, it could result in delayed

    delivery or end up costing the

    organization more money. So it is

    crucial for businesses that are

    embarking on a project to keep an

    eye on every detail, especially for

    large-scale, expensive projects. And

    it all begins with planning.

    A proper plan can make or break any project, whether it is as simple as widening a

    road for the government or as complex as constructing hundreds of luxury villas

    for an international developer. Every plan begins with considering several

    essential factors that can affect the flow of the project. Businesses need to sort

    out the goal of the project and what should be done in terms of strategies in

    order to achieve those goals.

    Additionally, the business needs to establish those who need to be involved, plot

    out their responsibilities, and consider how they will influence the success of the

    project. Once all these factors are defined and resolved, a project planning guide

    can be formulated.

    The guide should include a breakdown of the work schedule, which can be

    accomplished by providing work summaries, breakthroughs, tasks, and

    constricting dates. From this breakdown, you will want to translate this

    information into a visual guide. Most organizations use the recognizable Gantt

    chart, which Henry Gantt developed in 1910 for manufacturing supervisors to

    gauge whether their work was meeting its schedule or whether it was behind

    http://pioneeripm.com/en/index.php?p=main&id=56
  • 7/27/2019 Pioneer IPM: Moving Your Business Plan To The Top

    16/22

    schedule. Other businesses might use the activity-on-node chart, which illustrates

    the flow of task execution and classifies which ones need to be completed so that

    other tasks may begin.

    Whatever visual guide your business will end up using, know that charts help youand your team look through all the tasks that have to be involved, to ascertain the

    very persons or group responsible for each one, to recognize how long each one

    will take, and to identify the potential problems of the project. By following such a

    thorough process, your business can then discover whether your schedule is

    practical, that you have assigned the right people to certain tasks, and that you

    will have enough time to address potential problems before the project gets

    underway.

    Charts like Gantt or activity-on-node are also very valuable in terms of

    determining the critical path, which is when you identify the sequence of tasks.

    Are there certain tasks that have to be fully accomplished before your project can

    move on to the next ones (i.e., sequential tasks)? Can certain tasks be completed

    at the same time (i.e., parallel tasks)? In plotting out your sequential and parallel

    tasks, your project has a good chance of being delivered on time, if not ahead of

    schedule.

    The success of every project hinges on how organized and well-informed your

    business is from the very start. So invest heavily in the planning stage and you will

    eventually secure big returns for your projects. For inquires visit

    The Key Steps To Effective Claims Analysis

    The best way to avoid any

    problem is to get ahead of it

    not to anticipate it, but ratheridentify it. Such foresight can be a

    remarkable asset when your

    organization is dealing with

    considerable construction

    projects. As any business can

    attest to, the management of any

    construction project, be it a

    straightforward building project

    for a small clinic or a massive commercial development on reclaimed land, can be

    open to possible disputes that lead to claims and, most likely, litigation.

    Both parties involved in the project will be affected. The client may well be

    exposed to liabilities and suffer project delays while the contractor could

    experience profit loss. To steer clear of such costly delays to any project, most

    businesses will need to obtain a claims analysis service from an expert in the

    industry.

    This type of analysis might best serve a project when it is undertaken in the form

    of periodic reviews, which can identify factors that might delay a project, allowing

    for immediate resolutions to be formulated. Performing a sound analysis to

    determine the client or contractors exposure to potential liabilities may be

    averted, or at the very least, create well thought-out strategies to address them.

    In the event of a claim being lodged, the claims analyses expert will need to

    evaluate its strengths and weaknesses. This requires looking through a factual

    record, which means implementing an efficient fact-finding process in order to

    secure evidence from getting documentary records by doing an electronic

    search of significant email correspondences to obtaining first-hand knowledge by

    visiting the jobsite.

    It should be realistic to assume that with the scale of certain construction and

    even engineering projects, the relevant documents may just take up an entire

    room or two. A claims analyst would save a lot of time and energy by focusing on

    documents that have been identified by the project staff and those that have

    been referred to in other documents, as these might just turn out to be critical

    evidence that have been overlooked.

    Aside from factual record, analysing the claim will also entail knowledge and

    comprehension of governing laws, the contract language and obligations, and

    relevant local trade practices.

    Disputes. Accidents. Negligence. Certain situations can prove to be very

    problematic for both parties involved in any project. And the resulting impacts

    can put the project on hold and cause financial losses for both sides. While there

    are problems that prove to be unavoidable, the expertise and resources of a

    claims analyst can help businesses conquer or cope with the effects of submitted

    claims.Click herefor more info.

    What A Contract Administration Process Can Do For Your Projects

    Construction and/or engineering projects can

    produce thousands of documents, and for the

    contracting client and contractors, it can befairly hard to keep track of everything. These

    documents may include contractual

    agreements, bid documents, purchase orders,

    cost controls, variations or change orders,

    drawings, plans, and any other relevant

    documents that will keep the project on

    schedule and on budget. How can one

    company maintain an organized approach to

    managing a project with heaps of paper work?

    The completion of every construction or

    engineering project is never accomplished

    without good contract administration process. Contract administration enables

    every company to manage every stage of their project. This means the design,

    tendering, and construction stage. Each stage will produce its own relevant set of

    documents. The design stage may require administration of the design brief,preparation of specifications, and contractual agreements while the construction

    stage may need administration of the, among others, cost control and reports.

    By implementing an efficient and systematic contract administration, companies

    can provide a timely flow of information to relevant parties such as the architects,

    the contractors, the engineers, the contracting party, and any other concerned

    person who needs to obtain details or reports of the project. This efficient flow

    helps those involved in the project to come up with good decisions that in turnmove the construction in the right direction as well as secure on time and within

    budget delivery.

    In addition to the efficiency in accessing needed information, contract

    administration can also address and resolve contract claims and disputes. With

    every stage of the project being carefully controlled, from the budget to the

    quality, critical missteps may be caught and resolved or documented evidence

    may provide clarity to a claim.

    The adequacy and performance of a projects contract administration largelydepends on the expertise and resources of the company. Most businesses will

    outsource this specific aspect of their projects as the specialized service allows

    them to be better focused on other concerns of their commercial organization,

    and not sacrifice the management of current building or engineering jobs. By

    relying on service providers that offer contract administration, businesses could

    possibly guard against claims and disputes as well as prevent bigger construction

    costs.

    The completion of construction and/or engineering projects can be relatively

    complex. How it progresses along the way will depend on the control and

    enforcement of every aspect of the project. Contract administration not only

    ensures that the timely flow of much needed information will get to the relevant

    people, but it also guarantees that inconsistencies and inaccuracies are spotted

    and addressed, resulting in projects that are delivered on time, within budget,

    and according to the contracting partys specifications.

    Why Your Project Needs A Contract Management Specialist

    Contracts are created to ensure that both

    parties involved in the project meet their

    specific obligations. This generally gives anassurance that specifications, requirements,

    and/or changes made to the project will be

    honored, and that project delivery will be

    accomplished accordingly, from the price to the

    time frame. Unfortunately, there are cases

    wherein certain terms and conditions may be

    overlooked, for whatever reason. When this

    happens, claims, litigations, followed by delays

    and further costs can plague what should have

    been a stable project.

    Such scenarios may be magnified several times over when the project concerns

    construction of buildings, commercial developments, or public road works. In

    order to oversee any project and ensure positive results, companies would do

    well to hire a contract management specialist one whose expertise and works

    are well regarded in the industry.

    Contract management is a critical component in completing your projects

    because it not only ensures that the terms and conditions stipulated in the

    contract are honored, but it also enhances the performance of suppliers and

    contractors. With contract management, you get experts that will review and

    follow up design matters. You also get someone who will devise and implement a

    control system to oversee progress, making sure that work is done correctly and

    according to the contracting partys standards. These ultimately result in meeting,if not exceeding, the level of quality required for a project, be it a high-rise

    commercial building for a property development firm or road development for an

    airport.
