Suncorp StadiumOur methodology is based on the premise that projects do not fail at completion, but outcomes can be severely compromised by inadequate attention to the determination of project requirements.

 

Successful projects integrate teamwork; understanding; functionality; aesthetics; costs; programme; quality; and stakeholders’ concerns, at the earliest possible opportunity.

 

The common ingredients of all successful projects lie in the broad and sympathetic application of clear and precise steps, as follows:

 

  • extensive client and stakeholder discussions to analyse project requirements and to differentiate needs and wants
  • selection and appointment of project team members with required capability and capacity to deliver required outcomes
  • management of concept designs, initial feasibility studies and the formulation of project scheme options for approval and funding purposes
  • establishment of the overall Development Programme to meet completion requirements, based upon time and funds available
  • establishment of the Project Delivery Plan, the Design Concept and the Budget Estimate
  • implementation of project management disciplines in relation to the developing design, including scope changes, procurement methods and management of construction contractors, cost planning and control, risk management and communications management
  • management of the construction process, establishing the appropriate safeguards for the achievement of desired outcomes of final cost, timely completion, fitness for purpose, safety, commissioning and handover, defects liability, and asset management

 

Each of these project phases establishes a review point for the verification of desired project outcomes, in addition to providing the means for an assessment of the effectiveness of the project management services provided by Project and Development Services Pty Ltd.
