No Project Manager get the job done all by himself as it takes teamwork. So, build a diverse, cross functional team based on trust and commitment for better coordination with Client’s Representatives (CR). You can avoid disappointment, panic, finger pointing and deep regret; by considering teamwork as important factor and there is no one but many heroes. There is no need to be eager to take all credit to put yourself in vulnerable position before CR. Allowance must be made for a meeting of the minds, where both CR and team members are equally important. Else things may go wrong and at the worst possible time, when you try to be smart without due diligence, that may result in fallout with CR. TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More… MAK

This is a common problem i see all the time. The key for me is setting the standards early, agreements for decision timescales as well as regular meetings need to be agreed in writing as part of the contracts. This protects both parties from onsite stagnation as well as establishing key lines of communication. Secondly establishing a main point of contact for both the Principle contractor and the Client makes the process streamlined with all other parties feeding into the two responsible individuals. Lastly appointment of a competent Employers Agent can make the processes onsite during the project, as well as communication management, that much better and streamlined. The EA must know and understand the project they are undertaking.

If you're struggling to coordinate your project team with client representatives on site, prioritize establishing clear communication channels and expectations from the start. Regular site meetings and progress updates help keep everyone aligned on goals and responsibilities.
