Program Management

Program management is the whole enchilada of combining all aspects of project management on a grand scale. Essentially its putting lots of smaller projects together in the best sequential order to obtain a given result. It is a bring the client to the table and work out a schedule to ensure that "you the consultant" are on the right page.

What might appear the best and most logical sequence of construction activities for the construction management team, might not necessarily be the clients most preferred sequence of events.

Here we need to pay careful attention to the commitments of the client, the vision of the client & his potential tenants and the needs of the project. Work out solutions that are viable; work out the risks, the needed resources & a realistic timeline so as to eliminate or avoid all unnecessary legal claims or disputes.

Were multiple buildings are being delivered performance productivity quality & timely delivery can sometimes nearly outweigh costs. Here we must clearly understand the owners obligations & commitments in order to weigh our decisions and ensure that our time and dollars are spent correctly.

Program management is not like a single one off project. It is not a simple schedule but the interweaving of multiple schedules (a letting plan) there are MOU's with local municipalities. Often commission approvals and variances are in play & entire communities are sometimes dependent upon the delivery of projects of this magnitude. Seriousness is required in understanding how to distribute the workload to the right people, benchmarking the results of the performance.
