Why engage an Independent Project Management Consultant?

The advantages of engaging an independent project management consultant in lieu of managing the project yourself, or engaging an architect are as follows:

  • An independent project management consultant has no conflict of interest
  • An independent project management consultant has specialist project management skills and experience, derived from the delivery of a broad range of developments with numerous clients
As owner of the proposed development, you may possess sufficient skills to manage your development. However for most owners this is not the case, and for some it could even be their first development.

Given the high stakes, it is prudent that your project is managed by a professional with years of experience across a broad range of developments.

Some architects do possess the skills to fulfill the role of project manager. However, many architect's consider the project management services as a chore as it is not aligned with their core passion and skill set.

Furthermore, the architect in performing the role of project manager has the following conflicts of interest:
  • Managing themselves in regard to the preparation and coordination of design documentation
  • Assessing design related variation claims received from the builder
