Construction project managers need to oversee the safe completion of construction projects in a timely manner.
There are a few skills that construction project managers need to have to ensure that they are at the top of their game.
1. Communication skills
Project managers have to ensure that other team members and stakeholders have a clear understanding of directives and instructions. They needs to be in close contact with every person involved in the project and are responsible for ensuring that the project proceeds according to schedule, according to budget, and with the entire crew staying focused.
A collaborative environment and technology to enable the same can help with better co-ordination of construction work.
2. Organisational skills
Project managers may be off-site or managing multiple projects at a time. Even within a project, construction project management involves teamwork and coordinating multiple task. An effective means of multi-tasking is thus very important.
3. Effective compliance
Project managers have to ensure that the work is progressing in compliance with contractual and regulatory requirements (including various construction and safety standards).
This includes ensuring good housekeeping (e.g. control of noise, pollution and pests) at all times.
It also includes having a system to ensure that the necessary approvals for work permits, building permits and other documentation are sorted out in a timely fashion.
The right technology can help project managers with all of the above.
