Three Project Management Techniques for House Building

Various construction project techniques can be deployed for house building including:

Traditional Project Management

This involves:

  • Planning
  • Execution
  • monitoring
  • Conclusion
  • Specific tasks clearly mapped out in advance.

A traditional project management approach can give you a good oversight of what the entire process entails. However it can be challenging to overcome unforeseen issues using a traditional approach.

Agile Project Management

The Agile approach to project management was first created for software development. However it has quickly been adopted across other industries, including the construction sector. It includes breaking larger tasks down into smaller activities. Prioritising accountability as team members have more capacity for decision-making.

An Agile approach to project management can be useful if a house building project has numerous relatively small tasks. But, it can be difficult to deploy unless you can establish a strong team ethic and communication.

Adaptive Project Management

As the name suggests, Adaptive project management prioritises flexibility and facilitates continuous optimisation. This can be helpful in the construction industry as unforeseen issues are not uncommon during a building project. While being adaptable is certainly advantageous, you’ll want to balance it with clear objectives. This is the best way to ensure you stay on track.

The Benefits of Bespoke Building Project Management

Bespoke building management gives you access to sector-specific leaders who are adept at end-to-end building project management. For clients, the benefits of working with building project management surveyors include:

Effective Project Planning

A detailed project plan is the first step to success, but it can be easy to overlook critical elements when you’re planning a large-scale project. With in-depth knowledge of the industry, its regulations and practicalities, a building project manager will ensure that a detailed project plan is created at the outset.

Optimal Team Assembly

As well as knowing what expertise will be required on-site, your project manager will have a network of contacts they can rely on to deliver high-quality work, on time and within budget.

Budget Management

Consistent cost control and reviews will help to ensure your project stays within budget and an experienced project manager will be focused on this from the outset. If unforeseen issues do arise, a specialist surveyor can accurately cost remedial options to determine the most cost-effective way forward.

Risk Reduction

Any construction project involves some level of risk, but keeping this to a minimum can conserve your funds and prevent unnecessary delays. Fortunately, a professional project manager will know which areas of the project present the most risks and how to mitigate them.

Quality Control

Whatever type of construction project you’re undertaking, quality control must be in place to ensure the work meets the relevant standards and regulations. Failure to implement quality control throughout the project can be a very costly oversight for inexperienced project planners and managers. By working with a building surveyor to manage your construction, however, you can ensure that quality control is integrated into every stage of the project.

Clear Communication

With multiple personnel working on site, it’s easy for miscommunication to cause unwanted delays. When you have a reliable project manager on your team, you can streamline the chain of communication to ensure that relevant stakeholders receive accurate and timely updates at pre-agreed intervals.
