What’s Included in a Full Project Management Service?
If you’re planning a construction or fit-out project, you’ve likely heard the term “project management” used a lot. But what does it actually include? And why is it so important?
In this article, we explain what a full project management service involves, the value it brings, and how it helps ensure your build stays on track from start to finish.
What Is Project Management in Construction?
Project management is the coordination and control of all aspects of a building project — from early planning to final handover. It ensures the right work is done at the right time, by the right people, and to the right standard.
Good project management reduces stress, minimises risk, and helps keep costs under control.
What’s Included in a Full Project Management Service?
A comprehensive service typically covers:
1. Initial Brief and Feasibility
- Understanding your needs and goals
- Reviewing site conditions and constraints
- Advising on realistic timeframes and budgets
2. Planning and Design Coordination
- Liaising with architects, engineers and consultants
- Overseeing surveys, drawings, and technical approvals
- Ensuring plans are practical, compliant, and buildable
3. Procurement and Scheduling
- Tendering and appointing subcontractors or suppliers
- Setting the build programme and milestones
- Managing orders and lead times for materials
4. On-Site Management
- Supervising works daily or weekly
- Managing health and safety
- Resolving issues and keeping trades coordinated
5. Cost Control and Reporting
- Monitoring budgets and spend
- Approving variations and preventing overspend
- Providing regular updates to the client
6. Testing, Handover and Aftercare
- Managing snagging, inspections and sign-off
- Organising manuals and compliance documentation
- Providing post-completion support if needed
Why It Matters
Without strong project management, even well-designed projects can fall apart:
- Deadlines slip
- Costs spiral
- Quality suffers
- Communication breaks down
With the right team in place, you get peace of mind — and a space delivered exactly as promised.
