Constructions projects almost inevitably suffer from unrealistic expectations from one or more stakeholders involved with them. Most of the time, the project manager needs to be the mediating force that mitigates those expectations. Through their expertise in the area, a manager should control the quality of the work and materials in a way that’s conducive to the most effective results.
Most conflicts over expectations start with poor communications. As a leader, the project manager needs to establish functional communication pathways before the project even starts. Being able to convey information is crucial.
A project manager needs to remain firm but adaptable. There are going to be setbacks in every project. It’s up to the manager to a) communicate those setbacks to stakeholders, and b) handle them quickly and efficiently.
