Sometimes your project calls for a little something extra.
When you put a lot on the line, you expect a lot in return.
Unfortunately, with green infrastructure projects that require a bunch of moving parts – not to mention a significant budget and tight timeline – the chances for something to go wrong increase accordingly. And as far as we know, that’s not what you want. (But hey, we don’t know everything.)
Assuming what you want is delivery that comes in at or under budget, on time or sooner, you probably need a construction manager.
Consultation Services that Make Your Green Infrastructure Projects Shine
Too often, project duties and tasks get siloed, relegated to various trades or individuals. The result is a disjointed venture characterized more by competition for resources or pushing of agendas than by cooperation and foresight.
According to recent statistics from Harvard Business Review, “On average, projects go over budget by 27 percent of their intended cost” and “On average, one in six projects saw a budget overrun of 200 percent.”
This is not only bad for the bank account, it can lead to missed deadlines and project failure. Obviously you want to avoid busting the budget and overrunning timetables wherever possible ... but how?
That’s where construction management comes in.
Think of a construction management as a bird of prey (in a nice way). They’ve got the thousand foot view, representing the owner’s goals while simultaneously partnering with the engineer and the general contractor to ensure smooth communication and execution of each project phase.
A good construction manager will:
Stay in close contact with the architect and engineer on the project to ensure all specs are being met
Communicate frequently with the general contractor to ensure all tasks are on schedule and within budget
Bring cutting-edge green technologies and construction approaches to the project
In so doing, we’ll help you mitigate risk, save money and create higher quality projects.
