Why Have a Construction Project Manager?
Several construction projects have been halted, and some buildings have even collapsed due to a failure in hiring a professional project manager to oversee the project from conception to completion. No matter how small or large a construction project may be, the right construction project manager may be your most important ally to make the workflow of your construction project seamless.
Project managers play a vital role in the execution of a construction project. For one, they determine the feasibility of a project. They are also responsible for developing a plan of execution that encompasses budgeting, and the hiring of an implementation team including, architects, quantity surveyors, contractors amongst others.
Other benefits of hiring a Construction Project Manager include the following:
1. Project management support
A good construction project manager possesses in-depth knowledge of construction, which gives him or her the capacity to oversee the construction process and determine what is best for a construction project.
2. Budget control
Many construction projects have been stalled due to insufficient funds when budget funds are exceeded. A good project manager ensures that the project is carried out on budget by closely monitoring the costs incurred during the project.
3. Improved Communication
There are various people involved in carrying out a construction project. The project manager serves as a liaison to maintain communication between these people. This curbs misinformation which can lead to confusion amongst workers.
