“How do I justify the cost of hiring a project manager?” It’s this question that makes most clients choose to hire a lead consultant for their projects instead of a dedicated project manager. On the face of it, this can appear to be more cost-efficient. The reality, however, is that most clients who go this route often end up spending much more money over time, And find that it can negatively impact their project’s long-term success. While a lead consultant can oversee your contractors and ensure that they are complying with your agreed-upon specifications, A project manager takes on more comprehensive control over a project, focusing on safeguarding your interests from beginning to end. They make sure that your contractors, consultants, budgets and targets are aligned and accountable, and you’re on track to achieve your goals efficiently and effectively. Some of the ways we do this are by: ➡️ Conducting site checks to confirm that the pace and quality match your expectations ➡️ Verifying that your instructions are actioned, and information from contractors is accurate ➡️ Tracking project progress and finding ways to resolve any discrepancies between planned and actual outcomes ➡️ And providing solutions to minimize any delays, thereby offsetting their impacts Without a project manager, these critical tasks often fall to the client, But not every client is equipped to fulfil these roles, thereby threatening the project’s continuity, viability and ultimate success. You may save on costs in the short term if you decide to opt for a lead consultant instead of a project manager, But the higher risks, compromises on quality, and potential delays are just not worth it. #ProjectManagement #Business #BestAdvice
