Buildservices.co.uk understand the importance of managing our clients projects properly. To allow us to do so correctly, we need to record progress and performance against our clients expectations. For the most part our clients expectations are set out within the tendering documents, however this may not always be the case. Projects can evolve as factors like complexity and compliance are examined in further detail.

 

The main source of information required to protect a client’s interests is shown below, but it is through effective Project Management that this information is used to deliver success.

 

CDM Information – Pre Construction File ( only required if the project is notifiable under CDM Regulations). Further guidance on this issue can be sought from the HSE via their website.

construction programme

 

A construction programme accurately communicates all parties expectations throughout the build process. Why is this important?

 

For a client to develop a strategy that meets his needs and obligations, they must first understand the Contractors method of build. An effective way to do this is to develop a Construction programme that effectively communicates the contractors build methodology. From this point, clients (or other appointed third parties) can develop a delivery strategy to meet their financial obligations or customer’s needs. Through mutual collaboration this process can prevent unnecessary delay and disruption.

 

An accurate construction programme may encourage the client to seek further cost savings. By choosing to supply the contractor with materials or specialist services he may be able to procure items such as kitchens, windows, fixtures or fittings more cost effectively. To do so can save a client a considerable sum of money, but the collaborative benefit in doing so can only be achieved by correctly identifying everyone’s responsibility in this process. If clients intentions are not correctly communicated, then any potential savings in sourcing these materials or services could be lost. The construction programme is vital in ensuring this success.
