Project Management

There is a structure for any type of construction project, whether it is a shopping mall or a residential home. It is necessary to carefully coordinate the movement of both parts and people in these environments.

What are your plans for ensuring your project's success once it has been approved? To achieve each milestone, the timeline should include milestones, tasks, and resources. Participants of the project should understand what's expected of them because transparency is essential. Costs, scope, duration, quality, and communication details should be included in project descriptions. Next, you will start the team assembly process.

Stages of Project Management

Construction management projects unfold in stages. It isn't difficult to accomplish any task by breaking it down into smaller parts. Follow these four steps for successful project management.

Conceptualisation

There are four steps involved in the design of construction projects. Project managers must ensure your design adheres to all building codes and regulations.

Concept. What is the need, the goal, or the objective of the project? In general, you'll make decisions based on the size, location, intended design, and intended use of the building. These numbers represent the information for each space or room under consideration.
The schematic design. The schematic design describes the parts, materials, sizes, colors, textures, and other characteristics of the construction product. The site plan includes drawings of the building, including elevations and floor plans.
Develop the design. The material and equipment required for this step must be researched. How much will the materials cost? Your original drawings will be edited to reflect the decisions you made at the previous stage. It is critical to understand and follow local codes for construction during this stage.
Draft the contract documents. The blueprints and specifications are the final versions. Construction bids will be based on these.

What goes into the preconstruction phase?

After the general contractor accepts the bids but before the foundation is laid, the following three steps need to be executed.

Appoint a project manager. Some project managers are hired at an early stage, while others are hired once the design is completed.
Choose the remaining personnel. Contract administrators support project managers. Now, the project requires a supervisor who keeps everything on schedule, from deliveries to materials and equipment. To round out the team, you will need an entry-level field engineer to handle paperwork.
Examine the job site. Identify any requirements. It is mandatory for the site to be ready for construction, which could include dealing with environmental considerations, such as soil suitability for construction.

A team is in place, and you have planned the construction and materials necessary to complete it. You must now obtain the appropriate materials and equipment. Construction businesses might assign this responsibility to their general contractors or subcontractors.

This stage involves working with purchase orders, which are agreements between buyers and sellers.

Construction

You're finally ready to begin working on your build! First, you need to schedule a preconstruction meeting to discuss work hours, materials storage, quality control, and access to the site.

You'll need to create a schedule for payments and a method for delivering them. Transparency is vital to meet financial obligations and maintain a happy and productive work environment. Be sure your work orders are detailed enough to avoid misunderstandings with your contractors.

In the final phase of the project, the occupants of the site move in or take ownership once the construction is complete. You must make sure all their requirements have been met, and usually provide a warranty period to make that arrangement official and binding.

Creating the documents that guide project execution is the most important phase in project management. Here are a few of them:

Structure of the work breakdown
The risk management plan
Timetable for the project
The scope management plan
The cost management plan and project budget

The next step in the construction planning process is to begin implementing your plan. This plan should cover budget, scope, risks, time, and other aspects of your project.

Work Execution

In this phase, you are executing the project, implementing and managing all the changes and issues that may arise during the project execution process.

NEP Group ensures that any deliverables promised are delivered within the timeframes. The construction project manager deals with the project owner, stakeholders, clients, and teams. This is achieved by managing workloads and allocating resources expertly. Throughout this stage, we will set up meetings and report frequently.

Controlling and Monitoring the Project

Controlling costs, tracking time, and ensuring quality are among our key performance indicators. Monitoring is necessary for an accurate understanding of how the project is progressing. Maintaining close vigilance on these figures allows us to be flexible and dynamic. Communication is maintained throughout the process.

The project management team oversees the project, starting from the initial planning, to the actual execution, monitoring, and closing of the project. Our team ensures your project runs on schedule and on budget.
