Leveraging the expertise of professionals in programme management in construction

Discover how programme management experts can help manage a portfolio of construction projects efficiently.

The importance of programme management in construction

Managing multiple projects simultaneously can be an overwhelming and challenging task for project managers and others involved in these initiatives. Ensuring that all construction projects are being executed according to plan is no easy feat, especially as many external factors can affect project timelines and costs.

Issues such as cross-project integrations, conflicting stakeholder interests, fluctuating market conditions, and even hazardous on-site conditions could force one construction project to be held back or grind to a halt. This could have a trickle-down effect on other construction projects, leaving project teams in limbo and causing friction between themselves and the clients they serve.

This is why construction companies should turn to experts in construction programme management. Enlisting the help of skilled and competent construction programme management experts can help minimise missed deadlines, cost overruns, potential for legal action from unsatisfied clients or other risks.

Why work with experts in programme management in construction?

The ability to deal with projects of varying complexity and scale

Construction programme management specialists are skilled in helping project teams plan, execute, and manage multiple construction projects concurrently, regardless of the complexities and scale of these projects. Some projects may have numerous interconnected elements, which require extra expertise to navigate around them.

The ability to resolve disputes between project teams and stakeholders

Construction projects often involve multiple stakeholders, including clients, subcontractors, regulatory bodies, and even the public. There may be contentious disagreements between these parties, which could likely resort to legal disputes. Construction programme management experts help mitigate or resolve these conflicts.

The ability to allocate resources strategically

Experts in construction programme management ensure the proper allocation of manpower, equipment, and project materials to assure on-time completion, total quality management and spending within planned budgets set for several construction projects. This ensures the right resources are available when needed and prevents bottlenecks.

The ability to manage requirement changes tactfully

There are many construction projects that undergo project delays which also result in cost overruns due to sudden changes by the client on the design and materials or other factors like weather conditions. Construction programme management experts assess, approve, and implement these changes tactfully to prevent further disruptions.

Business Manager

"Compass has bent over backwards to meet the needs of WBHO. They have been patient as we went through the process of reviewing and approving the equipment. Equipment was then delivered promptly to the location we requested. The project does not start until the new year, but given the excellent service thus far, I am highly confident it will not have any issues with the network connectivity setup."

Albert

"The training session led by Sam was very interactive and informative. The sessions were easy to follow despite having no previous experience with P6. I enjoyed completing all the exercises used to help teach us the software's capabilities, and props for using relatable industry examples. Thanks for a great training session!"
