Project Management

Project Managers and the Key Role They Play in Project Success

Today we celebrate International Project Manager Day, and we couldn’t be prouder of the outstanding project management team here at Becker & Frondorf. Their dedication to delivering results and advocating for our clients is at the heart of everything we do. Our project managers are not only skilled professionals—they’re problem solvers, strategic thinkers, and client advocates, committed to seeing each project through from concept to completion.

What Does a Project Manager Do? 

A project manager is responsible for overseeing a project’s entire lifecycle, acting as the client’s advocate and guiding every detail to ensure the project aligns with your vision, stays on schedule, and comes in within budget. By organizing, scheduling, and coordinating all aspects of the project, our project managers anticipate and overcome challenges, providing a smoother process and protecting your interests every step of the way.

Why Project Management Matters: Key Benefits 

  • Cost Control & Budget Management: Professional project management can reduce overall project costs by up to 30% by preventing delays, managing contractor bids, and optimizing resource allocation. At Becker & Frondorf, we specialize in creating accurate project budgets and managing expenses throughout the entire process, ensuring projects are completed within the financial goals of our clients.

  • Keeping Projects on Track: Nearly 70% of projects experience delays, often due to miscommunication or lack of oversight. Our project managers ensure that the entire project team—architects, engineers, contractors, and stakeholders—are aligned, keeping projects on schedule and minimizing costly setbacks.

  • Risk Mitigation: With a project manager in place, potential issues are identified early and addressed proactively. This reduces costly last-minute changes and ensures that all regulatory and safety requirements are met, safeguarding both the project’s timeline and budget.

  • Quality Assurance: Bridge the gap between clients, contractors, architects, and vendors, ensuring clear and consistent updates throughout the project lifecycle.
