Specialty: Construction
Management
There is a large percentage of construction jobs in México
that do not meet project time, cost or quality expectations, based
on this problem, Construction Management was introduced with the
main purpose of controlling and managing these variables. Nevertheless,
Construction Management is practiced wrongfully in Mexico, mainly
because of the lack of preparation of most Construction Management
Agencies. PIZA consulting has taken time to prepare
and has strategies to maintain and improve its management tools
and techniques day after day.
Construction habits in México:
- Lack of planning and discipline
- Lack of effective administration
- Resistance in implementing Construction Management
- Quality assurance not practiced
- Lack of effective decision making on part of the construction
coordinator
- Stress, super human efforts in getting things done
- Lack of preparation on behalf of the CM agencies and construction
companies
- Lack of communication
- Deficient field supervision
- Lack of productivity
- Living by: “Tomorrow will get done”
Construction Management is a professional service that applies
effective management tools and techniques to the planning, design,
and construction phase of a project from inception to completion
for the purpose of controlling time, cost and quality.
Construction Management is a discipline and management system specifically
created to promote the successful execution of capital projects
for owners. These projects can be highly complex. Few owners maintain
the staff resources necessary to pay close, continuing attention
to every detail--yet these details can "make or break"
a project.
Our goals as your Construction Manager:
- Implement effective administration of cost, time and quality
in the planning and execution phase in order to meet or exceed
owner’s expectations.
- Coordinate in an effective manner the six disciplines involved
in the construction process (Planning, Organizing, Guiding, Time
Managing, Cost Managing and Quality Managing).
- Control and monitor, in a detailed manner, all financial statements
and other reports to forecast over cost and time lags.
- Organize all reports and documents of the project.
- Make more efficient and more effective the construction managers
job, the supervisor job and owners decisions.
- Anticipate administration, design and construction errors, which
can be very costly financially and time wise.
- Maintain constant certainty of cost, time and quality during
our management services.
