A Building Contractors Guide To Project Management

Thursday, April 9, 2020

If you have a construction project to complete, you are probably looking through all the building contractors in Alice Springs. If that is the case, we've got some essential project management tips to get you started. Before you get in touch with our builders at Jaws Contracting, take a look at our tips and advice below.

Know how much money you have to spend. Do not rely on your saved amount and then a borrowed amount because it throws off your budget. Simply use the amount you have and forget about borrowing because it is a slippery slope.

People who use their budget to plan their project are the ones who overspend. Always start with the project first, and then fit it into your budget. Start with the project, and maybe you will pick a type of tile for a bathroom, but then when you fit it into your budget, you discover you can only half tile the bathroom. This is how you complete a project correctly.

If you want the perfect pie, then you hire the perfect baker. If you want a project to go off without a problem, then you need to hire a good building contractor. Specifically, you need one that understands your project and who is on board with getting it completed as per your time frame and budget.

Creating a schedule and a working plan seems obvious, but so few people actually do it. You need to know what will be done, how long it will take, and when it is due to be completed. Without this information, your project could drag on for months and cost far more than it should.

Part of the process of any project is having to deal with problems and delays. With that in mind, you have to assume there will be problems. You could even come up with plans to accommodate any delays and possible problems. You should even leave 15% of your budget free as part of your contingency budget.

The fact is that no guide to project management matters if your builder is not up to standard. We are perpetually rated as the building contractors in Alice Springs. If you are looking to complete a building or renovation project, then please keep us in mind. Contact Jaws Contracting (NT) today.
