Once bitten, twice as smart
In the world of project management, they say the best clients are the ones who have tried to do it themselves. They’ve been there, picked up a torn-ass t-shirt, and found a whole new appreciation of what a good project manager does—they make it seem like anyone can get themselves a nice t-shirt!
Unfortunately, project management is an industry, particularly in construction, plagued with the belief that it can be done as a side dish (would you like project management with that?). The architect, the engineer, the builder, even the QS—if you hear them say, "You don’t need a project manager, we can do that," run… and fast. Unless you have a dedicated project manager, you have risk.
If they have an alternative interest in the project, they have a bias. A project manager's sole interest in a project should be delivering the best outcome for the client in terms of time, cost, quality, and safety. It’s a dedicated project role, the main course, not an add on.
Those that understand the skill set know that project managers—the good ones, anyway—are the keystone of any successful project. They bring it all together and make it work.
And that’s why the best clients are the informed ones, the ones that understand the vital role a project manager plays. They recognise that a project manager is an investment in the success of their project.
