01
Project management close to construction
The project manager monitors the project's development and coordinates regularly with those involved.
Project management in commercial construction
One clear direction from initial planning to handover
Project management brings everything together throughout construction. From planning and coordination to construction and handover, we keep track of the many trades, agreements and decisions that need to align.
The aim is clear: to maintain progress and ensure that the schedule, quality and costs remain aligned throughout the project.

Our strengths
Oversight and progress throughout construction
A commercial construction project involves many people, trades and decisions. Project management connects them and stays close to the project, ensuring that agreements are put into action.
02
Planning and monitoring
Programmes and activities are monitored continuously, so changes and challenges can be addressed while there is still time to respond.
03
Bringing disciplines together
The project management team works closely with architects, structural designers, engineers and other specialists on the same building project.
04
Communication with the client
Decisions, changes and progress are reviewed regularly, giving the client insight into how the project is developing.
Professional collaboration
Many parties, one shared direction
The project manager works at the centre of the relationship between the client, consultants, our own specialists, suppliers and subcontractors. Coordination is therefore a central part of the role.
When information and decisions are brought together around the project, it is easier to stay on course and help the different trades work towards the same goal.
- Client communication
Needs, decisions and changes are reviewed regularly with the client.
- Internal coordination
Architects, structural designers, engineers and other specialists work together on the project's solutions.
- Subcontractors
Work and deliveries are coordinated with each other and with the overall programme.
- Decisions
Questions are gathered and resolved so the project can move forward.
A shared undertaking
From project transfer to completed building
See how project management keeps the project together from initial plans through to handover.
Project transfer
The project's agreements, solutions and underlying assumptions are brought together, giving the project management team a clear starting point for the next stages.
Planning
The programme, activities, deliveries and key milestones are planned to establish a clear path for the project.
Coordination
Trades, design work and deliveries are coordinated so the necessary decisions are made in the right order.
Construction
Once construction begins, the project management team monitors progress and coordinates work between the parties involved.
Monitoring
Programme, quality, costs and changes are monitored continuously so the project can be adjusted when circumstances require it.
Handover
As handover approaches, the final activities, inspections and agreements are brought together so the building can be handed over to the client.
PLANNING AND MONITORING
Progress should be visible, not just felt
The programme is a working tool throughout construction. It provides an overview of how activities, deliveries and trades fit together and makes it possible to check whether the project is progressing as planned.
Planning
Activities and milestones are sequenced to create a realistic construction programme.
Monitoring
Progress is monitored continuously so the project's current position can be measured against the plan.
Action
If something changes, the implications are assessed and the necessary activities coordinated so the project can move forward.
On the construction site
Decisions must work in practice
Once construction is under way, the project's plans meet the realities of the site. Here, project management means maintaining oversight and ensuring that the many activities taking place at once work together.
Coordination
The different work packages are planned and coordinated so trades can access the site at the right times.
Quality
The project's agreed requirements and solutions are checked throughout construction.
Deliveries
Materials, components and other deliveries must fit both the programme and the sequence of work on site.
Changes
New circumstances and changes are identified, assessed and coordinated with the relevant parties.
MANAGING THE WHOLE PROJECT
Programme, quality and costs must align
A project cannot be managed on a single measure alone. A change in one part of the building project can affect the programme, solutions and costs.
Programme
The programme is monitored throughout the project so activities and deliveries can be coordinated and any deviations identified.
Quality
The project management team checks that construction is carried out in accordance with the project's agreements and agreed specifications.
Costs
Project costs are monitored throughout.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT FAQ
Frequently asked questions about project management in commercial construction
Get concise answers about the project manager's role, collaboration, the programme and management throughout construction.
What does a project manager do on a commercial construction project?
The project manager brings together and coordinates the many activities and parties involved in construction. This includes planning, progress, costs, quality, coordination and communication with the client throughout the project.
When does the project management team become involved?
The project management team becomes involved as soon as the agreement between us has been concluded. This allows the project's agreements and underlying assumptions to be transferred and turned into a concrete plan for design and construction.
Who will we be in contact with during construction?
The project manager is a key point of contact throughout construction and also coordinates with the other specialists and people involved in the project.
How do you monitor the programme?
Project activities and milestones are planned and monitored continuously. If changes or delays arise, their implications are assessed and the relevant activities coordinated.
How are changes handled during the project?
Changes are assessed for their impact on the solution, programme and costs, among other factors, before being coordinated across the project.
How does the project management team address quality?
Quality is monitored through the project's agreements, design work and construction. The project management team coordinates with the relevant trades and checks the solutions throughout construction.
How do you work with subcontractors and suppliers?
Work and deliveries are coordinated with the project's programme and the other trades on site so the different activities fit together.
What happens as handover approaches?
The final work, inspections and outstanding items are brought together and followed through so the building can be handed over to the client with a clear record of its status.
