High quality engineering design services 2021? Construction project managers get pulled in lots of directions every day. Project managers are involved in almost all aspects of a project so being able to effectively manage your time is vital. If you can’t effectively manage your time, it’s unlikely you’ll fare any better at managing a construction project. Prioritize your day by determining the items that need immediate attention and those that can be handled later. Don’t waste time on things that don’t need to be addressed immediately if there are more pressing tasks that need your attention. Remember, not every email needs to be answered the moment you receive it. Learn to delegate tasks to other members of the project team. If you have the right people on your team, you don’t need to micromanage every little thing. As long as you are communicating with your team, you should trust their expertise to make decisions and handle what you’ve assigned them to do.

What makes for a great team? We also wanted to find out how construction PMs know their team is performing well. Out of the 20 project managers who responded to the question, two answers swept the majority of the responses. The first, to be expected: deliver projects on time and under budget. The second? Understanding the “big picture” or “intent” of the project, so the team can act proactively to keep things moving in the right direction. This was described well by John Williams, of ConstructionNova, who explained that when there is an issue, his team doesn’t just notify their superiors, but rather, they line up potential solutions, so that superiors can simply give approval. Williams explained further used the example of an on-site issue. When a problem occurs, rather than raising the issue to the next level of command and asking for direction, his team explores the potential best solutions and presents them to a manager for approval.

More than ever, most companies, large and small, national, or international, are under increasing commercial pressure. The reduction in income for many due to the recent pandemic and various levels of lockdowns has meant that budgets have been cut, internal resources reduced and the timescales to complete a project are becoming ever more challenging; yet still, an increase in productivity is demanded. Today’s businesses cannot always provide the focus and time to deliver projects effectively when the day to day need to concentrate on the supply chain, production issues, and profitability of the business are clearly more important. Businesses are struggling to find the right expertise and skill base at the right stage of a project, and as a consequence, suffer additional and unplanned costs, delays, and technical problems on projects through poor conception, planning, purchasing and project delivery.

The CDM Regulations have made a significant impact on the construction industry as injury rates have continued to fall over the last 20 years. However, construction still remains a high risk industry and although it accounts for only 5% of the employees in Britain, it accounted for 31% of fatal injuries to employees and 10% of reported major/specified injuries (Health and Safety Statistics). Clearly we must continue to do more in this industry to eliminate and manage the risks such that we protect the lives of those working in the industry and those impacted by construction activities.
