PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project Management
Managing your project throughout the whole construction process goes a long way in ensuring its success. However, project management is a highly involved process best left to professionals.
Fortunately, Project Design Building Consultants has a team with the skills needed to guide you through every stage of your construction project, offering services such as:
- Initiation planning
- Contractors management
- Dispute resolution
- Project schedule and budget control
- Client appraisal
- Work programme management
- Risk management
Increased Productivity and Reduced Costs
Thanks to our project management services, you can accomplish as much as possible in the least amount of time. We help you achieve this by creating an optimised approach to the whole construction process. Ultimately, improving productivity will lead to fewer delays, which, in turn, leads to reduced costs.
Helps Keep Everyone on the Same Page
It can be hard keeping everyone’s eye on the prize, especially if you leave all the departments to work independently. However, through project management, you can get all your contractors on the same page, working in unison to achieve all the project’s requirements.
Improved Collaboration
Construction projects have a lot of moving parts that are all connected in one way or another. Without proper collaboration, your construction project could head down a path leading to disaster. A successful project needs more than your team members knowing what they need to do. It also requires better collaboration. If everyone is aware of what the other person is doing, they can perform their roles better. Also, improved collaboration makes it easier to manage the contractors and their performance.
Better Problem Resolution
Unfortunately, there will always be problems in construction projects, no matter how well you plan them. With a lot of moving parts comes more opportunity for conflict. However, with proper project management, you will be able to resolve problems quickly and efficiently. Also, through risk management processes and communication plans, project management allows you to organise the work in a structured way that can help you notice problems early and resolve them before they bring your entire project to a halt.

What Are the Risks of a Lack of Project Management?
A lot can go wrong if you do not opt for professional project management. For starters, there will be a lack of efficient communication. Seeing how essential communication is for the success of your project, miscommunication or untimely communication can be highly detrimental.
Not opting for professional project management also means inadequate risk management, which leaves your project exposed to several issues like inefficient work and project delays.
Fortunately, Project Design Building Consultants can help you avoid all of this.
What Our Clients Say
J.J. Property Enterprises Limited have engaged Project Design Building Consultants in all of our projects during the past 10 years. One of our most recent involved renovation re-construction works to Carnelly House, Calarecastle Co. Clare. Carnelly, one of Clare’s most notable protected residences, is an eighteenth-century, brick built, three-storey, five bay, hip-roofed house over a basement with a central side and fanlit Venetian style doorway approached by four steps. It faces north-east down a straight driveway to the main gates. A slightly lower gable-ended, two-storey, three bay extension was later added to the west. A large yard and utility buildings adjoin the rear. The reception rooms are decorated with interesting pedimented mirrors, and at one end of the drawing room fluted columns embrace another mirror as though it was a “baroque” altarpiece. The ceiling are of fine stucco work. The windows, with their thin glazing bars, are surmounted by stone keystones, and the corners are dressed with block and start quoins.
The works required extensive knowledge and expertise to ensure that the renovation/re-construction works replaced and replicated the existing in compliance with Architectural Conservation requirements. From our experience during the past 10 years out company can highly recommend Project Design Building Consultants as experts in their field and most especially in the field of Architectural Conservation works which requires in-depth expertise not easily acquired.
We look forward to working with Project Design Building Consultants team on current and future projects and would fully recommend them to new prospective clients.
As Chairman of the Board of Directors of St Senan's Community Nursing Home Kilrush, the Board are delighted with the professional services provided by Project Design Building Consultants in progressing the upgrade and extension to our Community Nursing Home Facility.
Project Design Building Consultants progressed the project from inception to completion within time and budget constraints. This involved acquiring all statutory consents, compliance with Safety & Health Legislation, compliance with Health Information Quality Authority (HIQA) regulations, tendering, contract award and contract administration, site supervision cost control, progressing throughout the BCMS and final certifications.
The project budget was in excess of €1,600,00.00 and construction works had to be managed with the current facility in full operation. This involved liaison with the facility management, contractor, sub-contractors and other personnel throughout the construction process. We were delighted that the project was completed to programme and on budget and following our positive experience we can recommend Project Design Building Consultants as a very professional competent consultancy practice.
We engaged Project Design Building Consultants to advise and progress the required professional consultancy services for the reconstruction and extension of our dwelling house in Quin, Co.Clare. This involved the demolition of a section of the existing dwelling house and the provision of a new one and a half storey extension with the new sewage treatment system and associated works. This has transformed the existing bungalow which is 40 years old to what is now a contemporary building with all associated modern facilities, including extensive glazed walling and first floor balcony facing the southern aspect and availing of the extensive views.
Our initial concept was totally changed following briefings with Project Design Building Consultants who immediately saw the potential that was not apparent to us and we are very fortunate to have acquired their services.
Project Design Building Consultants managed the project from conception to completion including acquiring planning permission, managing in compliance with Building Control Management System, providing full services throughout the construction process including cost management and control working within our available budget and in compliance with mortgage requirement.
We can highly recommend Project Design Building Consultants to all who are contemplating projects such as out and can assure all such clients that they will get an excellent friendly and competent service from this company.
Patrick Bourke's Menswear have engaged the services of Project Design Consultants in the development of their menswear facilities at High Street Ennis, Co Clare.
Project Design Building Consultants were responsible for the consultancy services involved in the development of our new ultra-modern menswear store in Ennis. The project had a budget of €3,600,000.00 and the consultancy services were progressed from inception to completion by Project Design Building Consultants.
This was a particularly complex project in a very confined inner town site with limited access, further restrained as the building was a protected structure and the brief for the new facility required open planned spaces with modern facilities.
We are happy to confirm that Project Design Building Consultants exceeded our requested brief, whilst satisfying all requirements and restrictions associated with the restoration of the protected structure.
We have used the services of Project Design Building Consultants over the past 20 years in various projects the most recent being the full renovation/reconstruction of our Kilrush outlet with a budget cost of €1,350,000.00 and can confidently recommend their services to any client requiring a professional and competent consultancy service to progress their projects through all stages of the construction process
