Do the core principles of project management remain the same whatever size the project? In this episode Guillaume Black from Blacks Property Solutions talks about how he has found moving from managing large infrastructure projects to managing HMO refurbs. He discusses which principles transfer across, including building relationships and empowering the team. He also explains which ways of working need to be adapted, including having a short concise schedule of works and monitoring progress more regularly. Guillaume shares his thoughts on three things to focus on when thinking about any project: 1) have a clear finance and build plan; 2) invest time in the tender and procurement process; and 3) have a contingency in place. He also talks about effectively communicating with subcontractors and builders, how often to do site visits, how much you really should be paying up front and how to deal with over runs.
