The Importance of Proper Planning & Management in Large Construction Projects
Just as construction projects can vary widely – from small business additions to large commercial facilities – so, too, does the planning and project management that goes into them.
Construction projects typically include hundreds of tasks and multiple phases that require a deep knowledge of the building process and an ability to problem-solve to keep the project on track. Due to the complex, often shifting nature of construction projects, especially large commercial construction projects such as professional and institutional buildings, it’s crucial that an experienced project manager is on the job to keep the project moving according to plan.
The goal is to manage the project so that it finishes on time and on budget, while still delivering a final product that meets codes, plans, and specifications. Some of the construction project manager’s responsibilities include project management planning and cost, quality, and safety management.
At D.R. Poulin, we have extensive institutional construction experience as a commercial general contractor providing design/build services to a variety of challenging customers such as Harvard University and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Our proven, integrated approach to construction management starts the minute a project is approved and our team begins the crucial work of implementing project management plans, assigning resources, setting up tracking systems, completing tasks, updating the project schedule, and if necessary, modifying the project plan. We’re constantly measuring every project’s progress and performance to ensure that the work being done and resources being utilized in the project are in line with the overall project management plan.
Our highly-experienced and licensed construction project managers understand the many elements that can affect a project such as weather, site conditions, limited site space, even traffic congestion. All of these factors can impact cost, schedule, quality, safety, and the other project variables involved in delivering a finished building that complies with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations and meets – or exceeds – client expectations.
