Project Management

We have learnt through experience that the success of any project is as a direct result of the project management team. By utilising job control systems and management information, projects are managed with regular meetings fully involving the Client. Site supervision and integration of works combine to ensure project delivery within defined criteria to a standard that often exceeds expectations.

The following list details a standard management structure which would be appointed to each project during the various phases of the works.

Project Director
The Project Director will have overall responsibility for the project. They will ‘oversee’ all aspects of the project from the initial design stages through construction to completion, handover and final account. It will be the responsibility of the Project Director to ensure full Client specification compliance, programme management, all financial matters are within budget and, ultimately, a successful project delivery.

Installations Manager
Working very closely with the Project Director, this member of our team is tasked with controlling and coordinating all on-site activities and trades. They will ensure the works are carried out to the correct tolerances, the quality is maintained and all works are in accordance with the programme. The Installations Manager will oversee the procurement of sub-contractors, materials and plant. In addition they are responsible for ensuring our Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) and Health & Safety requirements are being carried out, which will involve regular meetings with our independent Health & Safety Advisors. In addition, they will be responsible for the delivery of Final Commissioning Certifications and complete O&M manuals in both hard and soft format.

Commercial Manager
The Commercial Manager will be responsible for assisting the Project Director where necessary to ensure that all commercial related matters are kept up to date. In particular, matters relating to contract adherence, valuations and cost projections will fall within their responsibilities throughout any project.

Furniture Manager
This member of the team will assist the Project Director to ensure the Client’s furniture requirements are maximised within their budget. They provide expertise in initial Space Planning designs and the delivery of finishes and furniture installations throughout the project, ensuring a snag free handover at Project Completion.

In addition to the above, Planned Action will assign an Independent Health & Safety Advisor on every project. This critical member of the project team will meet regularly on-site with the Installations Manager to give guidance on all aspects of Health & Safety, Risk Management and CDM compliance.
