Things To Consider Before Formulating Contractor Project Management Plan

/in , /by

Like any building or construction related project, ensuring quality is important for any contractor project management plan. Each plan would have to address numerous issues with respect to quality assessment and evaluation in order for the project in question to succeed. Whilst saving cash is an ever present concern, it definitely should not be the only concern to be taken into account when formulating a contractor project management plan.

There are many contractors that offer to lower their costs for certain projects, but this often comes with a corresponding downgrade of the provided services. In the similar way, few contractors might perform the work faster, although this doesnt guarantee the strength and integrity of the work. A properly implemented contractor project management plan would therefore address these and any other problems as they relate to the satisfactory completion of a project.

Although similar in intent to a construction project management plan or a building project management plan, contractor project management plans deal with the particular issues of the contractor. Amongst the areas that such a plan identifies are: the type and extent of work to be performed by each organization involved in the job, the individuals involved, the work schedule, resources to be utilized, and other related concerns. All of these worries will have to be planned accordingly so as to increase the chances of the projects success.

While few contractors decide to work faster as a means of saving cash, the contractor project management plan will have to be formulated with the goal of planning a satisfactory result as well. Budget and time constraints are regular issues for most contractors, and theyll have to be addressed alongside quality and structural integrity concerns in the contractor project management plan. Concessions will even have to be made for terrain and operating circumstances in the specific area.

One of the most challenging factors of the contractor project management plan is that projects are not always the same size. This means that each plan will have to be tailor made according to the needs of the specific project. In cases in which expansion of the project is necessary, the contractor project management plan will need to consider factors such as additional or auxiliary funding, upgrading of the tools to be used, hiring of additional staff as needed, and all other concerns with regard to successfully meeting project goals.

Construction Project Management Plan is a comprehensive document that is ready to customise to your specific project; it is reviewed and amended regularly to reflect the current requirements in the Australian building and construction industry. CPMP is OHS compliant for all federal, state and territory requirements. Best of all, the document takes only minutes to prepare! If you are looking to get on with the business of constru

ITRA Global Report Makes the Case That Bio Tech Companies Should Consider Tucson, Arizona for Relocation or Expansion

/in , /by


Tucson, Arizona (PRWEB) November 27, 2013

Tucson, Arizona should be on any bioscience or biotechnology company’s short list for relocation or expansion, according to a white paper issued by ITRA Global affiliate Commercial Real Estate Group of Tucson LLC.

The nine-page report, “The Bio Industry in Tucson, Arizona,” points out that several bioscience companies already thrive in the region, including Ventana Medical Systems, Sanofi and SynCardia Systems. It also mentions that Accelerate Diagnostics moved from Denver to Tucson in 2012.

“I was impressed from my first contacts with Pima County, the Tucson mayor’s office, the state of Arizona and the Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities Office,” Accelerate President and CEO, Lawrence Mehren, is quoted as saying in the white paper. “We could tell this was a place that valued our businesses and wanted to help.”

“Proximity to large private enterprises in bioscience is only one of the reasons Tucson is a rising biotechnology star,” says Michael Coretz, principal of Commercial Real Estate Group of Tucson / ITRA Global. “Our city also boasts available venture capital, an encouraging spirit of entrepreneurship and a strong research community, including the University of Arizona’s Bio5 Institute.”

The availability of federal and state government funding and a highly skilled workforce are other reasons Tucson, the hub of Southern Arizona, should get prime consideration by biotechnology and bioscience firms, the report says.

Commercial Real Estate of Tucson is the Tucson Affiliate of ITRA Global and Michael Coretz is a site selection expert with indepth knowledge of biotech companies for local, regional and national clients. Specialized real estate needs for this industry are addressed in the white paper, which is available on the CREG of Tucson website.
