There are significant communication benefits when applying a Construction Management (CM) procurement route. Our latest Blog provides an overview of the communication advantages to the Customer from CM.
Communication Advantages of Construction Management
The Construction Manager, as the Customer’s representative, ensures direct and impartial guidance. This provides the Customer clear insight into the project progress, challenges, and opportunities.
CM fosters a collaborative project environment. The Construction Manager, Trade Contractors, and the Customer work together and closer. This approach encourages problem-solving and innovation, with all parties sharing ideas and feedback.
CM establishes clear lines of communication. Workflows are streamlined, misunderstandings reduced, and a culture of teamwork fostered. This leads to more efficient project execution and can help to avoid delays.
Earlier involvement of Trade Contractors is provided in the design and construction process. Such early engagement allows for better coordination and integration of specialised knowledge. This input can enhance quality and efficiency, providing better project outcomes.
Direct communication channels allow for greater flexibility and responsiveness to change. The Construction Manager can relay the Customer’s decisions and any change to Trade Contractors quicker. This enables swift adjustments without dilution through a Main Contractor.
Effective and open communication is key to risk management in CM procurement. The Construction Manager can identify potential issues early, and work with the Customer and Trade Contractors to mitigate risk.
CM procurement can create a less adversarial, problem-solving project culture. Parties work towards the common goal of project success, rather than individual profit.
The Construction Manager’s role is a service provider to the Customer. This ensures that decisions made have the Customer’s best interests in mind. This transparency in decision-making builds trust and leads to a better Customer journey.
The Construction Manager can liaise between the Customer and other Stakeholders. This ensures that all parties are engaged, leading to higher satisfaction and support.
Modern CM often involves the use of electronic procurement platforms and software solutions. These can further enhance communication, document processing, and data analysis. This in turn leads to improved project management and transparency.
The communication benefits of CM procurement align to the Customer’s interests. It provides a framework for a well-managed, transparent, and collaborative project environment. The Construction Manager’s role is pivotal, ensuring that these benefits are realised. Their primary focus is on delivering a service to the Customer, rather than generating Main Contractor profit.
