The project manager–builder relationship: a ride full of twists and turns

In your time as a project manager, you’ve dealt with your fair share of builders – some good and some bad. You know that navigating your relationship with a builder can feel like a rollercoaster of ups and downs. At first, you both start with high hopes and cooperation. But as the project progresses, you start to notice negative behaviours leading to misunderstandings and disagreements. Clashes over timelines, resources and project scope often lead to delays, extra expenses and reputational damage. Trust between you and the builder takes a hit, making teamwork harder and tensions higher. Sound familiar? 

What you don't want:

When was the last time you experienced a stress-free relationship with a builder?

The unfortunate truth is that positive partnerships should be commonplace but are few and far between. Instead, you’re likely familiar with the telltale signs of a strained project manager – builder relationship.

Builders with a hero complex can frustrate the whole project team by neglecting their expertise and responsibilities, leading to poor collaboration and compromised project success.

It’s frustrating when builders overlook or outright ignore the detailed plans and specifications you’ve painstakingly prepared in collaboration with the project team.

Feeling left out and in the dark is common when communication breaks down. It’s tough to solve problems or get things done without open dialogue with your construction team. Misunderstandings about what needs to be done happen all the time. Your builder doesn’t respond to your communications promptly, which leads to delays and mistakes in the project.

You’re often worried about the compliance of your project. Your builder neglects safety protocols and regulatory requirements, leading to more incidents on the job site than usual, which can easily have legal, financial and reputational consequences for the project.

Insufficient coordination between builders and project managers can lead to logistical issues, delays in material procurement, and inefficient use of resources, affecting the project’s overall progress. Dealing with poor project execution, constant urgent requests, and excessive administrative burdens disrupts your workflow and reflects poorly on the project’s progress, adding unnecessary stress to the process.

A lack of ownership from the builder can be frustrating, as they deflect their problems onto you – expecting you to resolve issues that arise from their shortcomings. You shouldn’t have to bear the burden of their mistakes, yet this shifting of responsibility complicates the working relationship and impedes progress.

Your builder consistently delivers subpar workmanship, resulting in rework, cost overruns, and client dissatisfaction. Differences in quality standards or inadequate supervision can lead to discrepancies between the expected and actual quality of work. Inferior finishes or unnecessary design changes undermine the client’s vision you’ve worked hard to realise.

Ultimately, the culmination of these issues results in dissatisfaction from the client, potentially leading to contract termination, litigation, or damage to your professional reputation.

I liked FARA’s attention to detail and ability to look ahead of the program. FARA’s communication with the university was always prompt and clear. I could see that they knew what would work and what wouldn’t. I knew I’d made the right decision working with FARA when hospitality-specific design ideas, specialist contractors and future servicing requirements were recommended. FARA had a long-term view of the café’s operation, and we felt we were in safe hands. Problem-solving and alternative solutions were all worked on collaboratively and variations were fairly quoted and explained. I look forward to working with FARA in the future.
