The role of the project manager
At ERHÉ Architecture, depending on the project, some of us combine the roles of architect and project manager. And sometimes, these two missions are dissociated.
We'll tell you all about the role of the project manager:
Coordinating the work : once the project has been launched, the project manager becomes the conductor of the orchestra, coordinating all the trades involved in the construction or renovation work. They ensure that each stage of the project is completed on time, to the required quality and within budget.
Site supervision : the project manager monitors the site rigorously, making regular visits to check on the progress of the work and the quality of execution, ensuring that the end result is exactly as planned.
Administrative and legal management : the project manager is responsible for the administrative and legal management of the project, dealing with building permits, compliance with local regulations and coordination with the relevant authorities.
Communication and mediation : the project manager is your main point of contact, ensuring smooth communication between you, the tradesmen and the suppliers. They often act as mediators, resolving any conflicts and ensuring that the project runs smoothly.
Acceptance of the work : at the end of the project, the project manager organises the acceptance of the work, a key stage where the conformity of the construction is checked. He makes sure that everything meets expectations before handing over the keys.
To explain the difference between an architect and a project manager in a few words, we'd say that the architect designs the project and the project manager implements it.
