  1. Good Document System
  2. Resource Schedule
  3. Importance of Quality Assurance and Quality Control
]]> As a project manager you should make sure all your team members submit claims, hours, expenses etc as soon as possible, and definitely before the end of month accounting date.

If that information comes in late the profit/margin on the project can quickly change and affect plans.

The hours must also be made to the correct project. You don’t want hours suddenly being transferred to your project from a few months ago because they were incorrectly allocated. This could make an in profit project suddenly be making a loss. If it was done correctly first time, the losses could have been seen earlier and planned or allowed for.

  1. Make Contractor Responsible for Site Safety
  2. Awareness of Details of Designs
  3. Tight Schedules
]]> If you believe a schedule required by the client is unreasonable, you should document your reasons for believing so, and inform the client of those concerns in writing.

If the client still chooses to go ahead with a schedule that you are not a party to (for example for their construction contractor) but using your company’s designs, you should inform them (with details) of your concern in writing.

This may reduce the possibility of claims and your liability in the event of contractor over runs.

If you believe a contractor’s schedule is unreasonable, you should also inform the client in writing.
