Add value to the project

The core of engineering project management is to add value to the project on the premise of ensuring the realization of the use function. The work of a management company is a kind of value-added service work. Its increment is mainly manifested in two aspects.

Ensure the safety of the project construction, ensure the quality of the project construction, ensure the project investment control, ensure the project duration target, ensure that the process is in accordance with the law, and ensure the use of the function.

Ensure the safe use of the project, the project is conducive to environmental protection, the project is conducive to energy saving, is conducive to reducing the cost of use, is conducive to extending the life of the project, is conducive to property maintenance, and management.

Provide scientific and reasonable suggestions to owners.

Engineering management consulting does not usually make decisions itself, but it can bridge the gap between the responsibilities and capabilities of decision-makers. According to the entrustment of decision-makers, consultants make use of their own knowledge, experience, and survey data to provide decision-makers with one or more scientific and reasonable alternative suggestions or schemes, so as to reduce decision-making errors. Decision-makers here can be government agencies at all levels, enterprise leaders, or owners of specific construction projects.

Ensure the smooth implementation of the project.

Due to the one-off nature of construction projects and the numerous complex management tasks involved in their implementation, owners are often unable to manage themselves. PM company and personnel have professional knowledge and experience in this aspect, they are responsible for the management of the project implementation process, can timely discover and deal with the problems, greatly improve the efficiency and effect of the project implementation process management, reduce management errors, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of the project.

Provide information and advanced technology to owners.

PM companies tend to concentrate a certain number of engineering experts, engineering technicians, and project managers, with a large amount of information, knowledge, experience, and advanced technology, who can at any time according to the needs of owners provide information and technical services, to make up for the lack of owners in engineering technology and information

Make up for the owner's inadequacy in design management.

Design management is the most critical link in the process of project construction. The quality of design work directly determines the final quality level of the project, and also determines the order degree and cost level of the project implementation. Any flaw in the design will be expanded and amplified in the planning, construction, and operation, resulting in greater errors and losses. In view of this, PM company can make use of its own professional experience to effectively control the design scheme, technical scheme, construction drawings, etc., so as to ensure that the project achieves the effective unity of "functional quality, cost, duration, and safety" on the premise of satisfying the use of functions.

Ensure optimal cost.

With the application of green environmental protection, low carbon, and energy-saving concepts in the construction industry, the connotation of the project cost has changed from the past construction cost to the "full cycle cost" including operation cost and maintenance cost. Therefore, an experienced PM company should not only calculate the construction cost, but also take into account the safety, quality, function, operation cost, maintenance, and repair cost of the project, and strive to achieve "optimal cost in the whole cycle" when estimating the cost target.

Ensure legal compliance

It is the duty of every project builder to consciously safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the state, the collective, and the parties involved. The managers of PM companies are generally professionals engaged in project management all year long. They are familiar with and understand national and local laws, regulations, and working procedures related to construction projects. Therefore, they can effectively prevent and reduce the occurrence of violations of laws, disciplines, and regulations, and ensure the realization of construction projects under the sun.

About quality control

The main points of construction quality control of foreign management companies are different from us, especially the design of European and American countries compared with our country, which seems quite conservative, even in our opinion is waste, in the choice of equipment and materials to adopt famous brand as far as possible. The idea is that well-known companies should and will honor contracts with good faith, rather than cut corners in bad faith.

They put far less effort into quality control than we do, but that doesn't mean they don't care about quality. They also pay more attention to some small things, pay more attention to appearance, and hate the destruction of finished products.

About schedule control

Generally in the early stage of construction, the progress of the project is as fast as possible. When faced with adverse factors, it tries to increase the investment in exchange for the construction period. For example, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of backfill soil on rainy days, and gravel backfill is used, requiring contractors to increase additional labor and equipment.

They will put forward specific requirements on the contractor's labor force, etc. When the contractor is unable to complete the required work according to the quality and schedule requirements, they will entrust a third party to complete the work, and the required cost will be directly deducted from the contractor's project expenses without his consent, which is inconceivable to us.

On investment control

The foreign management company is responsible for the owner, but it has great power over the project cost and has the right to decide on the project change fee and progress payment. The contractor only has to deal with the management company and does not have to go through the owner. Of course, the management company will negotiate with the owner, especially when it comes to large funds, to get the owner's support.

About Safety Management

Each management company has its own construction safety management manual, most of the use of graphic form of scaffolding erection, hoisting, safe electricity, air work, flammable and toxic gas use and labor protection made detailed provisions.

Its safety management engineers also have more power. For example, the safety director of KVAERNER in the UK works independently from other departments of the project. If the safety does not meet the requirements, he can stop the construction, demand a stop-work fine, and even expel the units or individuals who violate the regulations from the site. I'm afraid we're going to have a pretty hard time doing that.

About Contract Management

Most of the contracts of management companies have the shadow of the terms of the FIDIC contract, and some are completely copied. Their engineers have a strong sense of contract and attach great importance to contract management. Their contracts are as detailed as possible. In addition to their rights and obligations, their contracts also list as detailed as possible the scope of work, specifications, and acceptance standards, some of which are higher than our national standards.
