 The
advantage of engaging a
consultant for project
management oversight is to
obtain a necessary, but often
overlooked, independent advisory
service.
Without project management
oversight, potential problem
areas commonly go unreported
until they can no longer be
reconciled with project
objectives. To make matters
worse, crucial problem area
information is often not
adequately documented by the
architect/engineer or
contractor. This, of course,
weakens the position pertaining
to claims litigation or
arbitration.
Historically, cost and schedule
overruns commonly exceed 20% of
target cost and target
completion. In addition, awards
resulting from claims litigation
commonly exceed 10% of total
project cost. The cost of
retaining BestSolution as your
project management oversight
consulting firm throughout the
life of a project is relatively
very low of total project cost.
The project management overseer
serves as an extension of the
staff to ensure proper project
management. Periodic written
evaluations of the project cost
and control schedule program,
project quality program, and
project management effectiveness
are provided. Management
oversight is responsible for
assessing the implementation of
management functions as they
relate to the project
objectives.
As part of
the oversight function,
BestSolution evaluates
procedures and the information
flow process; reviews contract
documents and verifies
contractor conformance; and
appraises contract change order
monitoring techniques. A
thorough written assessment of
the project management
information system is provided.
Effective management oversight
begins during the conceptual
design phase of a project and
continues through substantial
completion and beneficial
occupancy.
Engaging an
independent project management
oversight consultant such as
BestSolution is the best
possible way to minimize
schedule delays, reduce cost
overruns, improve project
quality, and alleviate
construction claims
BestSolution
provides project management
services and acts in an advisory
capacity regarding project and
contract decision making. As the
project manager, BestSolution's
services include Scope
Management, Cost and Time
Management, Resource Management,
Contract Management and
Administration, and Project
