High quality project management today? 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.
Project managers also dedicate a significant amount of time to meetings, an average of just under 1.4 hours per day. If emails and meetings count as “managing”, this adds up almost perfectly to an 8-hour workday, with about half of the hours spent on emails and meetings, and the rest spent working on other activities that move the metrics they care about most. Impressively enough, when asked how they split their time between “managing” and “working” most common answer we received was an even 50/50 split. This not only means that these managers balance their time well, but that their perception of how they spend their time is accurate down to the hour.
Clearly as a full Project lifecycle design and delivery organisation we need to have all of the skills that you would expect from a pure Engineering Consultancy. However, consultancy businesses do not typically have the full design and delivery capability that a business like PM PROjEN possesses. Why is this an important factor when choosing an Engineering Consultancy to support you? We believe that when you design and implement engineering solutions that it enhances the understanding of any engineering challenges and this learning helps us to take a highly practical and pragmatic approach to engineering consultancy tasks.

The Principal Designer will usually be an organisation or, on smaller projects, an individual with: Technical knowledge of the construction industry, relevant to the project; Understanding of how health and safety is managed through the design process; Skills to be able to oversee health and safety during the pre-construction phase of the project ans the ongoing design. The Principal Designer needs to have good relationships with the Client and Principal Contractor and it is also essential for them to establish good relationships with other designers working on the project. This is the arrangement for the majority of projects. The Client is not required to appoint a Principal Designer or Principal Contractor if there is only one contractor engaged on the project.
