• Anticipate delays involving materials, approvals, manpower, equipment, subcontractors, and technical concerns.
• Require recovery measures when activities fall behind.
• Coordinate with the Planning Team on project performance and recovery strategies.
• Ensure acceleration efforts do not compromise workmanship, safety, or technical compliance.
• Verify that reported progress reflects actual site accomplishment.

Cost and Commercial Awareness

Although the Project Manager may not perform all commercial functions directly, the role must understand the financial impact of project decisions.

• Monitor conditions that may cause rework, wastage, delays, claims, or inefficient resource use.
• Coordinate with Commercial and Cost Control Teams regarding variations, additional works, scope changes, and cost implications.
