Project Management

Major construction projects are, on average, delivered one year behind schedule and 30 percent over budget. On many large industrial projects, high levels of complexity create productivity bottlenecks that can slow work to a crawl. It is never too late to improve a project’s productivity. The right interventions can remove bottlenecks and significantly boost productivity, providing the starting point from which to launch a sprint finish, rather than cruise to late completion.

Major projects in late stages of construction face unique challenges that can drive substantial delays and cost blowouts. But it doesn’t have to be this way.


 

Here at Pineal Consulting Group, our Project Managers display four successful mind-sets

 

Lead as a business, not a project

Leading a project sometimes requires CEO-level leadership and judgment to address a broad range of organizational issues.

Make your contractor successful

Our project owners work best with contractors and create a business partnership with a mind-set of “we win together or lose together”. Productive contractor-owner relationships are based on mutual trust and joint problem solving.

Take full ownership of outcomes

Our Project owner maintains full accountability for delivery. We remain well informed throughout and are ready to step in to make tough decisions in a timely manner

Trust the process, but know that leadership is required

Process alone will not resolve every challenge. Our leaders trust and enforce the appropriate process, but recognize their benefits and limitations.


 

We embrace four practices for the project setup phase. We believe that by embracing these, project leaders can dramatically increase the chance of successful delivery of projects. These four practices require an astute application which our leaders uphold as crucial.

Throughout the delivery phase, our project-delivery leaders focus on these four practices.

Construction Project Management

We believe a critical element for successful large project delivery has so far been neglected: specifically the “soft” issues of project delivery such as leadership, organizational culture, mind-sets, attitudes, and behaviors of project owners, leaders, and teams. A better understanding of how to get this art right will materially improve delivery of large capital projects—this is especially true in the context of the largest and most complex capital projects.
