Whether the project is for a new building or for the refurbishment and/or rehabilitation of an existing one, it will comprise various phases and involve a great variety of firms and professionals.
A discrepancy often arises between the forecast and reality in terms of the finished results, time periods, or price, which in no way casts doubt on the professionalism of any of the involved craftsmen, but does indicate a grave lack of communication between them.
When it comes to planning and organising building work, the figure of the “Project manager” is of vital importance, for he is in charge of directing and controlling the various professionals involved, according to a detailed plan which has been previously drawn up.
As the facilitator of solutions for the contracted firms, the “project manager” is the first person of contact and the guarantee of the best interests of the owner.
