Using an experienced, trusted and independent project manager when developing your luxury residence is the best way to ensure your project is completed on time and on budget, with minimum disruption to you, your family and your home.
Managing a luxury property renovation, construction or development project can be complex and challenging. A successful project requires careful planning, coordination, and management – all requiring time, experience and focus.
An experienced and independent project manager will look after every aspect of your residential project, working as your trusted agent at all times.
What does a project manager do?
A project manager will effectively manage all stakeholders on your behalf, including architects and designers, contractors and specialists, property agents and council planning departments. The role is crucial, providing you with trusted ‘eyes and ears on the ground’ throughout your project.
There are four phases within a projection lifecycle: initiation, planning, execution and closure. At each stage, your project manager will deliver expert advice to mitigate risk, add value, reduce cost and manage liabilities – ensuring that your project is delivered to your specification, on schedule and within budget.
Your project manager can be involved right from the start, a valuable asset during the initial procurement phase, helping with funding securement and land acquisition, and carrying out feasibility studies.
At the planning stage, your project manager will have the experience and knowledge to deal with planning departments on your behalf. The project manager can create your design team and manage the process of tender and selection of contractors and specialists.
Throughout the execution stage, your project manager will carry out site visits and manage relations between contractors, design teams, specialists, surveyors and council departments. Your project manager will manage contracts and variations, be a hands-on presence to manage any issues and provide regular reporting whilst keeping on top of budgets and timescales.
As the project progresses your project manager ensures that all snagging is completed prior to achieving practical completion, along with all completed Operational and Maintenance manuals.
Engage an independent project manager with local knowledge
When moving to a new location, it really helps to engage a project manager who has extensive knowledge of the local area. A local project manager will have a breadth of key contacts, will be able to recommend designers, contractors and specialists most suited to your project and will be fully aware of any likely local complications or requirements.
