Engineering consultants from Projen UK? Construction project managers are responsible for overseeing and supervising construction projects from start to finish. They are tasked with making sure projects are delivered on time and within budget. Job duties differ from company to company, but construction project managers are typically responsible for overseeing the budget, working with owners, architects, and engineers, hiring subcontractors, scheduling and planning work, and ensuring materials and equipment are delivered to the project site on time. Successful construction project managers must be able to see the overall big picture of the project and ensure that the project is completed within budget and on time while also delivering a quality product to the client that conforms with all building codes and safety regulations.

When a problem occurs, rather than raising the issue to the next level of command and asking for direction, his team explores the potential best solutions and presents them to a manager for approval. In order for this to work, though, the team must have understanding of the general direction of the project. In order to achieve this, Williams says he strives to keep lines of communication open, whether via text, emails, or updates on the Google Spreadsheets they share to manage operations. Project management tools can also help increase project visibility to ensure that your team knows where the project is headed. Haydon Osborne from Sevan Multi Site explains how to implement this practice simply: “Look ahead, and go beyond the bare minimum.” Finally, a number of project managers pointed out that when their team focuses on building strong relationships, communication flows more smoothly, which is reflected in more effective collaboration. As Paul Jake of PM Construction put it, “construction is a as much a function of creating and maintaining relationships with people, as it is actually building a building.”

The utilisation of specialist Project Management companies and their support services provides better initial planning and assessment of opportunities, risks, and threats. It provides a greater opportunity of identifying problem areas while there is still enough time to take appropriate corrective action, allowing flexibility for alternative plans of attack. The successful Project Management service offered by professional consultants concentrates on three primary areas of the process: time, cost, and quality. This approach ensures a joined-up structure for managing all three. Find additional details at https://www.projen.co.uk/services/engineering-consultancy/.

The CDM Regulations have made a significant impact on the construction industry as injury rates have continued to fall over the last 20 years. However, construction still remains a high risk industry and although it accounts for only 5% of the employees in Britain, it accounted for 31% of fatal injuries to employees and 10% of reported major/specified injuries (Health and Safety Statistics). Clearly we must continue to do more in this industry to eliminate and manage the risks such that we protect the lives of those working in the industry and those impacted by construction activities.
