In depth Planning
Planning a construction project is one of the main duties of our PMC managers. They will develop a comprehensive project plan, track the progress of this plan, and effectively communicate the plan with employees and clients. Without a detailed plan of action, the project will not be completed efficiently and therefore could be subject to delays and budgetary issues.
Our PMC manager ensures that all of the work is done on time and within the projected budget. He will also ensure that the construction project is compliant with current building codes as well as any other legal or regulatory requirements. He will carefully plan out each stage of the project in order to ensure successful completion and develop detailed project plans and is able to use these as a benchmark to track overall progress.
Creating & managing Benchmarks
Benchmarks are useful to measure project performance throughout the life of the project. They are used to estimate a project’s timeline, budget, and the efficiency of its progress.
At Stallion Consultants, creating benchmarks is an essential part of PMC managers’ duties and is very similar to planning a construction project. We believe that benchmarks are checkpoints during the construction project, used to evaluate and determine project health, hence it is crucial for a PMC manager to be aware of the status and progress of the project at all times.
Time Management
A project manager must be able to estimate the duration of each step of the project in order to prevent delays due to human error. They must develop, maintain, evaluate, and readjust a schedule as necessary to ensure timely delivery of the final project.
At Stallion Consultants, our PMC managers are also skilled at time management making sure a project to be delivered on time, our PMC managers set a realistic timeline and consistently meet the benchmarks within it.
Risk Management
Another main role of PMC manager is to perform risk management. Risk management includes identifying and responding to potential issues throughout the life of the project to minimize potential negative impacts and help ensure the safety of the workers. Internal risk management can include issues such as unrealistic scheduling commitments and poor planning design, while external risk management often deals with unforeseen regulatory requirements and natural disasters such as storms or earthquakes.
Our PMC managers create a contingency plan to have a proactive approach to risk management rather than a reactive one. They also supervise their workers and provide assistance when necessary, and are responsible for ensuring that the project is adhering to health and safety standards and must report issues when they occur.
Resource distribution
Every construction project requires the skill to effectively procure and allocate resources. One of the PMC manager’s duties is to allocate these resources and ensure that there are no shortages. A construction project manager must understand what materials are needed and make sure that there are enough to finish the job. They must be able to manage any alterations made to the project scope and adjust the overall plan to accommodate for these changes.
Our PMC manager ensures resource availability and allocation to stop an overall delay of the project. While delays are sometimes unavoidable, a delay due to a PMC manager’s poor decision making can hurt the budget and waste company resources. Our PMC managers effectively distribute resources to help avoid such problems and ensure the successful development of the project.
budget management
A construction project cannot begin without a proper budget. Another major duty of a PMC manager is to manage the financial plan and consistently evaluate the project budget. To avoid going over budget, a PMC manager must continuously keep track of spending and forecast changes to the budget.
Our PMC managers constantly inform their team about forecasts, keep tabs on the budget, and be prepared for unplanned costs. The more prepared a PMC manager is, the fewer problems they will have to worry about.
Managing & Communicating with Staff
Managing both skilled and unskilled staff is a crucial part of PMC managers’ responsibilities. They cannot expect their workers to know what to do without clear and concise communication. A PMC manager is able to delegate project tasks to employees based on their individual skill sets and overall project goals.
Our PMC manager consistently informs all staff about project details and evaluate the effectiveness of a project plan with them. In order for a project to be completed on time and within scope, they communication effectively between the skilled and unskilled staff.
Managing Relationships with Key Stakeholders
While internal communication between workers and the manager is necessary, external communication to key stakeholders is crucial as well. PMC managers’ responsibilities also involve communicating the progress and health of the project with key stakeholders and clients.
By coordinating internal resources with outside vendors, our PMC manager can help execute a project more efficiently. They also maintain relationships with third-party sources, such as subcontractors, architects, vendors, and suppliers.
