Project Management

In addition to the management of quality, cost, and schedule that directly relate to the final result of a project, project management supervises its process and risk, and by doing so, controls the entire project.
Due to construction projects becoming more sophisticated and complicated in recent years, the importance of project management has also increased more than ever.
As a partner staying closest to a Project Owner, we will strongly support the owner to propel the project forward without any worries, starting from setting up a project and building a system in an earlier stage, to sharing progress information and its potential risks, and a project roadmap drawn by scenario making.
What We Do
■ Confirmation of the Project Owner’s Intention and Communication with Stakeholders Project Owner
In a typical project, it is difficult to reflect the “visions” of a Project Owner, and various risks associated with cost and quality issues may burden Project Owners who are not familiar with construction projects. We step into the management as a representative of the Project Owner, so that “visions” of the Project Owner will be organized and shared with stakeholders to be appropriately realized.
■ Setting up Targets/ Requirements/ Constraint Conditions
The “visions” of a Project Owner are organized and documented in the early stage of a project as project targets, requirement conditions for building performance, and constraint conditions such as cost. This allows for smooth adjustment of the items requested from the Project Owner, while it can be used as a tool to examine design proposals or decision making in later stages.
■ Clarification of Project Execution and Management of Meeting Structures
We develop the most suitable promotion system appropriate for the purpose and issues of a project, sort out the roles and responsibility assignment of concerned parties, and establish a necessary body of meeting committee structure for flexible project management according to the progress.
■ Building up an Information Management System for the Entire Project
We coordinate between “Project Owner and his/her concerned parties”, “Project Owner and designer/contractor” and “designer and contractor” to control information centrally by always grasping the status of a project. we play the role of a hub to promote information exchange among concerned parties and help make a swift solution of the issue through rational and effective information communication and by sharing and actualizing the issue.
■ Facilitating a Project Team
In order to unify the intention among concerned parties, we provide appropriate materials for making decisions on the direction of a project and functions as the facilitator within a project team. We also conducts management to facilitate timely judgments by assigning a supervisor necessary for decision making on issues and setting the timing for his/her involvement.
■ Preparing a Master Schedule and its Progress Management
The project goal will be clearly defined and we prepare the most optimal master schedule by setting up critical schedules for the goal. Each process is clearly described with tasks of a Project Owner and concerned parties with deadlines of decision making so that a project environment is developed where the progress of the project is not affected by the delay of decision making. Progress management will be provided by producing a detailed schedule for each stage based on the master schedule.
■ Issues on a Project: Analysis, Sharing and Management of Risks
We help a Project Owner evade or mitigate risks by revealing expected risks in advance to analyze and examine, and studying how to prepare for such risks. This will minimize the cost for restoration and taking measures in the event of an incident so that we can continue management without a direct influence on the project.
■ Decision Support for the Project Owner
Strategic meetings with the Project Owner will be held as needed to exchange ideas during a project. Also it is coordinated with concerned parties if there are any issues to be discussed before the Project Owner makes a decision. If the Project Owner has an item to discuss within the company or with stakeholders, we assist in preparing explanation strategy and reference documents according to the meeting committee structure so that decision-making process will proceed without delay.
