Did You Know? Series - A Project Management Mini-Series - The Call for Help

"Help is on the way, Dear!"

You hear it too! Just as Robin Williams in his unmatched acting ability depicted the endearing voice of Mrs. Doubtfire, "Help is on the way, Dear!"

Is this how your Project Manager responds when you have a problem to solve? We hope so!

But what does your Project Manager actually do? How do know you need a Project Manager? And why is this such an important decision? These are just a few of the questions we will answer in our 5-Part Project Management Mini-Series within our Did You Know Series.

The Call for Help

How do you know when you need a Construction Manager?

Ask these 3 questions:

1. If this project goes poorly, can I afford to be responsible for the outcome?

2. Do I understand the full scope of work?

3. Do I fully understand the specifics and steps that go into accomplishing this successfully?

Relying on the contractor can work. But before you do that, be sure they are prepared to answer yes to all of the above questions also.

If for you or your contractor, the answer to any of those questions is "No," then you should consider hiring a project manager - the call for help.
