Project Management

“It must be considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out nor more doubtful of success nor more dangerous to handle than to initiate a new order of things”

Machiavelli 1446-1507 Italian statesman and philosopher

“Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances” 

Sun Tzu 490 BC, Chinese military strategist 

“To form by assembling parts” is the dictionary definition for construct, but the phrase also is a metaphor for the construction process itself. Just as divergent materials come together to form a structure, so too does a diverse group of people come together to make a project possible. To bring together numerous independent businesses and corporate personalities into one goal-oriented process is the peculiar challenge of the construction industry.

Demanding owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors, builders, manufacturers and suppliers coupled with ineffective project collaboration, make successful project delivery an increasing challenge for all firms in the process. This challenge is further heightened due to a shortage of skilled labor.

Effective Project Management may be the only way to deal with these dynamics and successfully complete projects on time and budget.

A builder must:

• Avoid surprises late in the delivery cycle
• Maximize your resource allocation and business capacity
• Maintain clear visibility into your business performance at the project level
• Avoid and protect yourself against claims
