Top project management companies today? Construction project managers are responsible for overseeing and supervising construction projects from start to finish. They are tasked with making sure projects are delivered on time and within budget. Job duties differ from company to company, but construction project managers are typically responsible for overseeing the budget, working with owners, architects, and engineers, hiring subcontractors, scheduling and planning work, and ensuring materials and equipment are delivered to the project site on time. Successful construction project managers must be able to see the overall big picture of the project and ensure that the project is completed within budget and on time while also delivering a quality product to the client that conforms with all building codes and safety regulations.
How do project managers spend their time? Many in the workforce agree that email occupies a significant amount of time spent during the workday. This article from Huffington Post found that workers spend 3.2 hours on average on work emails per day. The construction project managers we interviewed fell in line with this finding. Of the 17 project managers who responded to the question “How many hours per day do you spend on emails to and from your team?”, the average response was 3.02 hours. The median response was 3 hours flat. Talking numbers, this adds up to an average of 72 emails per day, with a median of 50. So, if you find yourself spending significantly more than three hours clearing out your inbox on a daily basis, you may want to explore methods to cut back on the number of emails you’re sending to your team.
We often get called in by new clients who have employed a consultant to support them to resolve a particular issue, only to find that the consultant prepares an extensive report on the problem without supporting the client with defining an effective solution. Given our multi-disciplined engineering and project delivery skills we are ideally placed to develop these third party consultancy reports into practical and deliverable engineering solutions…better still though, just employ PM PROjEN from the start and we can take you through all phases of the required work.

A designer is an organisation or individual that prepares or modifies a design for any part of a construction project, including the design of temporary works, or who arranges or instructs someone else to do it. ‘Designers’ can be architects, consulting engineers, interior designers, temporary work engineers, chartered surveyors, technicians, specifiers, Principal Contractors and specialist contractors. You could also be carrying out design even if you would normally not identify yourself as a Designer. An example would be if you are a Client or contractor specifying a particular roof system, deciding what size joists to use or selecting a type of window. Manufacturers supplying standardised products for use in any construction project are not designers. However, the person who selects the product is a Designer and must take account of Health and Safety issues arising from the installation and use of those products.
Our core business involves all elements of the project lifecycle from project inception, (including feasibility studies, capital justifications, front-end engineering) right through the detailed design and construction phases, (including the delivery of full turnkey projects).
