What is the best way to track project execution? To answer this question simply, This topic has a lot of controversy, but what is best depends on the way you manage the work : 1 - If you want to focus on managing workers and their performance, choose the manhours methodology. 2 - If you want to focus on the completion of physical activities and work productivity in reality, then use the quantitative methodology. 3 - If Your goal is not to spend a lot, and you do not want to finance the project from your pocket, and you want to profit from any activity, so use the cost methodology. This is in brief, and These are popular methodologies in construction projects but as advice, use a mixture of methodologies so that any WBS or Work packages give it a different measurement method according to what was explained above.

Effective communication is the backbone of successful construction project management. It enables seamless information exchange among stakeholders, including clients, architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors. Clear communication ensures that project goals, timelines, and expectations are well-defined and understood by all parties. This, in turn, facilitates: - Accurate project planning and execution - Timely issue resolution - Enhanced collaboration and teamwork - Reduced errors and rework - Improved quality control - Increased client satisfaction Strong communication channels also mitigate risks, prevent misunderstandings, and foster a culture of transparency and trust. By leveraging tools like project management software, regular meetings, and open communication protocols, construction teams can navigate complex projects efficiently, ensure stakeholder alignment, and deliver projects on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.

I have been a part of 100+ construction projects. Great Project Managers are: - 1. Master communicators: If you can’t communicate, your jobs will be over budget, behind schedule, and filled with wasted time. Use this simple rule of thumb: When in doubt, communicate. - Walk the job and find the foreman - Make the phone call - Send the email You will never regret it. - 2. Emotionally Intelligent: Emotional intelligence is so much more than knowing how to make people like you. It’s understanding your own emotions. It’s understanding how what you say impacts others. It’s understanding that having empathy is more effective than making threats. World-class Project Managers have world-class emotional intelligence. - 3. Focused on what they can control: 99% of Project managers focus on the 99% of things that are out of their control. Great Project Managers focus on the 1% of things that can control. - Your attitude - Your effort - Your schedule - Your intentions Everything else is noise. - Being uncommon is how you differentiate yourself and run great projects. Communicate relentlessly, be in touch with your emotions, and control what you can control. Don’t let anyone get in the way of you being you. You’ll go way further.

I know you miss me. Project management takes a LOT of time and effort. We only take on a limited number of clients for project management each year to ensure we deliver not just high-quality finishes but also an enjoyable journey for our clients. We have been working on a rooftop garden at Soldiers Point. There are a few things I have learned from this project that I would love to share with you. Location: Many trades tend to stay within their service areas. When you are in Newy or Lake Mac, you have many options. In more isolated areas like Soldiers Point, you will be quoted a higher cost due to scarcity and transport distance. Allow more time to get quotes. Access: Whether it is a rooftop, terrace, or even a block with narrow access, you may find that you do not get many interests in quoting, or you receive higher quotes. It takes time to move materials around by hand if machines and equipment cannot access the site. It's best to inform the trades/suppliers upfront that they need to go up levels to access the site. Timeline: Allow more time for the project—double what you think you need for a similar location/access site. We factored in extra time and HR in the quote as the only access to the garden is through the apartment. For a project of this size, we usually schedule the time frame as one week to a week and a half for other factors. The construction has been stretching into a minimum of three weeks for all the reasons above. Some people find project management easy, some find it frustrating. I see you. It is the biggest reason my clients come to me with their projects after they have tried to manage them themselves. One thing—if you have a timeline in mind, like "by Christmas," please reach out sooner. You should have your landscape plans by July at the latest, start getting quotes in August, and begin booking trades and materials in September. When October comes around, if the trades you are inquiring about are still taking bookings, I would question why. The reputable landscape company in Port Stephens that I know already stopped taking bookings a month ago. Happy Project Managing!

As a junior project manager in a construction firm, navigating the world of construction project management can be quite a journey. From managing procurement and negotiating prices to coordinating with subcontractors and stakeholders, every day brings new challenges, there is also maintaining project schedules, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, managing budgets, and overseeing quality control among other things. In addition, you conduct site inspections, resolve any issues that arise, and facilitate clear communication among all team members. You ensure that artisans are on the same page with project requirements and meet with clients to confirm their needs are being met. It’s a complex and demanding role, but there's nothing quite like the thrill and satisfaction of seeing a project come to life and reach its successful completion.

Is your construction project stuck in the 20th century? Why oldschool project management techniques could be costing you millions. I’ve seen it too often. Construction projects bogged down by outdated methods. Here’s why it’s a problem. Oldschool project management relies heavily on manual processes. → Paper logs → Facetoface meetings → Endless phone calls These methods might have worked in the past, but today’s projects demand more agility. Technology has revolutionised other industries. Why should construction be any different? Imagine a project where everyone is on the same page. Realtime updates, automated reports, instant communication. That’s the power of modern project management. Here’s what sticking to old methods could cost you: Time Manual processes are slow. Every minute spent on paperwork is a minute not spent on actual construction. Money Delays and miscommunications lead to costly errors. Rework, overtime pay, material wastage. It all adds up. Efficiency Old methods lack the precision and speed of digital tools. You’re not just working harder; you’re working less efficiently. Embracing modern project management tools isn’t just an option; it’s a necessity. Here’s how to start: → Invest in a construction management software → Train your team on digital tools → Move towards a paperless workflow The future of construction is digital. Don’t let your projects get left behind. Are you ready to bring your construction projects into the 21st century?

How can Project Management skills be used in a workplace where you are in a different position? In my current job, unlike my previous ones, it’s not an office job, yet I find Project Management to be very useful and I apply its principles every day. How does a short project differ in the use of the method compared to a major project, for example, assembling a scooter versus a large-scale project like a brand rebranding? Is it really so useful to think in terms of projects, or is this just a made-up concept that 21st-century office workers came up with? Well, I think it’s not just a fake methodology. 🙂 A little over a year ago, we moved to Sweden, and I wanted to start working here as soon as possible, so I took on an interesting job that was different from my qualifications and previous experiences, and I don’t regret that it’s not office-based. But how can Project Management be applied in such a workplace, a workshop or in logistics? According to PMI's description: “Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements. It’s the practice of planning, organizing, and executing the tasks needed to turn a brilliant idea into a tangible product, service, or deliverable.” Let’s first look at the project requirements: planning, organizing, and execution practice. Planning – every day there is a unique plan based on the number of incoming scooters, the length of repairs, or even the location of scooters in the city, as well as the battery levels. Organizing – How and who will repair the scooters, who will deliver them, and if it’s just one person, do they have the right tools, is there a proper spare part available, and if not, how will it be replaced? Execution – Was the repair done on time? Is the quality of the assembly up to standard? Are the mechanics and delivery people working according to the previous plans and organization? What about the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to meet the requirements? Knowledge is everything needed for daily project completion, organizational skills ensure that the daily activities are properly organized and progressing at the right pace. Additionally, we have the experience that ensures the scooters will be properly assembled and placed in the right locations around the city. It can only be executed by skilled mechanics and delivery people who have previously received training and whose knowledge is regularly monitored by quality control. Tools and techniques – proper tools, and experience that help with the accuracy and speed of repairs, we can also talk about orientation in the city; good local knowledge significantly reduces delivery time, so the project goal not only becomes achievable but can even be exceeded. There is also the follow-up inspection, which typically happens the next day with the help of IT systems, allowing for the creation of a new plan for the next project.
