Advantages of using an independent Residential Project Manager for your build
There are a few options when it comes to managing a residential build. You can either manage it yourself, have your builder manage it, have your architect manage it, or have an independent Residential Project Manager manage it.
Here are just a few of the advantages if you do decide to go for the latter.
Add value right from the start - Unlike a builder or architect managed project, when you engage an independent Residential Project Manager to manage your build they will be there to help you make decisions across all aspects of your build right from the beginning. From planned running costs, build timeline, construction method, contractor engagement, supplier sources and product selection.
Check designs and plans and advise on potential changes or money saving strategies - Your project manager can work closely with you to go over architect plans to give an estimate of construction costs, as well as advise on any recommended changes or additions or ways to save money, or add value to your build.
Carry out a competitive tender process - A good project manager will be able to handle the tender process for you to make sure you are receiving competitive quotes and ensure that you appoint the best, most appropriate team of contractors for your build.
Keep pressure on build teams - Where necessary they will apply pressure to design build teams to stick to agreed construction timelines, plans and budgets. They will work in partnership with you and if necessary can challenge both the design and build teams on your behalf.
They work for you - The best thing about an independent Residential Project Manager is that he or she works for you. They are there to bridge the gap between you, your architect, the council, your builder, and all contractors, but they work for you, are on your side, and will always have your best interests at heart.
