Why You Should Use a Project Manager
We, at Jigsaw, Construction Surrey Ltd, understand that a building project is often a big investment, both financially and emotionally. So, getting it wrong can be costly. Likewise, get it right and a successful project can add value as well as space to your home.
Even projects that might be considered small or straightforward will run more smoothly, be less stressful and are more likely to come in on budget if they are professionally prepared and well managed.
Project Managers can make a great difference to your home renovation, but how?
Planning
A good Project Manager takes the time to plan out the entire home renovation from the minor to the major details. They will create a thorough analysis of the timing and phasing of your project.
This enables them to manage and coordinate schedules, timeframes, and deliveries. They can also offer expert advice on how to improve your initial layouts or styles, and they can check the plans are suitable for the builder to use on site.
Budget
Project Managers can guide you on overall fees or on how you can adjust your plans to meet your budget. They can identify costs for your renovation starting right from the design stage. A PM can create a comprehensive tender pack allowing you to get accurate quotes from the start. They can connect you with the best fit builder and contractor for your project and sort out plans and permits much faster than anyone that is inexperienced in renovations. If you don’t have proper planning for your renovation, things could easily fall into trouble and cause you extra time and money in the end.
Liaising
Your Project Manager will make the required decisions to deliver the project on time and to budget. As your Project Manager is on your side, you will be less stressed as they will be liaising with the builders to get them to do what is needed to achieve what you want. They can deal with any problems that arise quickly and you can be involved as little or as much as you want.
A PM's job is varied and involved. They are the eyes and ears of on the job, there to help fill the gaps that you might not see if you took on the role yourself. You can get a good night’s sleep knowing that the PM is managing and is committed to accomplishing everything according to plan.
The Cost of a Project Manager
Charges vary depending on the services than a project manager provides. Projects that require only a certain stage of the scope will not charge as much as full end-to-end service, however, the best outcome is nearly always when a project manager has been involved from concept through the design and planning stages to completion of the build.
