Construction management involves no more or less co-ordination and organisation than any other procurement option. However, as the client is involved alongside the construction manager in more aspects of project administration, it will inevitably make greater demands on the client’s time and resources. Although this is not an issue for experienced employers with a dedicated management resource, this could challenge the capabilities of less well-resourced, one-off clients. Clients must make sure that the construction manager is fully engaged at all stages of the project.So, What are Key measures that can be put in place to create the conditions for success on a Construction Management project include...............

All benefits goes to Client

idea posted by Rinu P Babu Cheif Consultant, Fastrac Project Management Consultants

I hope the involvement of Client in technical issues after the commencement of project is mostly because of the commercial risks. Such risks should be identified during planning process of a project and remedial actions should be planned for a no: of adverse situations. Since Construction laws always support Clients commercial interests Managers should be carefull of total float of the project and it must not utilised as far as possible.

Communication

idea posted by Nand Jha Construction-Heavy, Sobha Developers
I can say that Construction management agreements are often bespoke and considerable negotiation may be required in the agreement of a construction manager’s scope of service and liability. Roles must be properly demarcated so that the construction manager can perform effectively in advance of the completion of the CM agreement.

I suggest you to design establishing and monitoring the design programme, and reviewing design deliverables for completeness and coordination. The construction manager will also need to enforce compliance with information release schedules with respect to completeness and timeliness. Where change occurs, the impact on the associated elements of the works will need to be reviewed on a consistent and thorough basis.

Usage of efficient designers. Planners and a masterplan for Proccurement will support the basic needs for a project


Time and Effort

idea posted by Srinath Srinivasan Construction-Heavy, DLF
Yup....Investment of time and effort by the client and construction manager into the development of relationships with trade contractors, including the issue of instructions, administration of payment and problem solving. In managing these relationships, the construction manager and client should aim to achieve a balance between contractual discipline and an appropriate level of flexibility, in order to maintain the commitment and co-operation of trade contractors. Investment in team-building activities at all levels of the project team also helps to focus staff on the importance of the client’s objectives and the successful completion of the scheme.

Scope Clarity & Effective BID Evaluation Strategy...!!!

idea posted by M NITIN SHENOY, PMP, IPMA-D, CEng MICE Asst. Construction Manager (Planning), L&T ECC

RISK is a result of high amount of Uncertainities Bound in the Project Works.

Considering the fact that CLIENT is the HIGHLY Benefited from any Project and always WORKS in the TOTAL INTEREST of the PROJECT, then only two other factors could reduce the RISK FACTOR of the PROJECT...!

1. SCOPE CLARITY = Scope is the Heart and Soul of the Project hence the better the DEFINITION of SCOPE and SPECIFICATION the lesser confusions, uncertainities and chaos resulting in Project SUCCESS

2. EFFECTIVE BID EVALUATION STRATEGY =  A Good Scope clarity alone is meaningless if the Vendor / Contractor sellected through Bidding process is not skilled and effective in executing the SCOPE...!!

Procurement

idea posted by Samir Shah Construction-Heavy, DLF
I think v have 2 ensure tat the procurement of trade contractor packages is based on sufficient information 2 define the full scope of work and all critical interfaces with other packages. Design should be completed to a point whereby provisional sums are not required in package tenders. Pricing documents should also be prepared in sufficient detail 2 enable the project team to obtain enough price information to support cost reporting and the negotiation of variation costs.

Identify Contractual Obligations of All Parties

idea posted by Irfan Hi Projects Coordinator, Buhaleeba Contracting

First need of any project desiring to attain success in management is to indentify obligation of all parties to the contract.

Follow up for updates is another step.

Change Control Systems and Quality Control Systems shall be a part of contractual requirement before awarding the works.

And to avoid any risk to the client, there should be minimal or no P.S. and P.C. Items.
