Responsibilities of Intelligent Building Engineering Project Manager

Responsibilities of Intelligent Building Engineering Project Manager

The intelligent system depends on the building and is related to other systems of the building. It must be used with other engineering projects and other projects. It is a project with high requirements, it is necessary to conduct extensive communication and coordination. Once again, the intelligent building system is a product of the high-tech field. It is comprehensive and has complex system structures and functions. It involves different fields and features high-tech and complex. All of this shows that the intelligent construction project management should be matched with its characteristics from the management system, technology, planning, organization, implementation and control, communication and coordination, and acceptance, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of the project. The level of project management directly affects the quality, progress, cost, security, and other key elements of the project. As a new topic, project management has attracted the attention of various companies. It is also widely absorbing the advanced experience of project management in other cities, more importantly, we should gradually establish and implement an efficient project management system.
N project manager and project organization
The company's projects should adopt the team organization system of the personal responsibility system of the Project Manager. The project manager is directly responsible for customers, companies, and employees. The company should assign the project manager the corresponding powers to clarify the project's responsibilities and interests (such as the right to Personnel appointment and punishment, the right to handle expenses within the quota, and the right to manage subcontractors ). (A project organization includes technicians, construction workers, security personnel, QC personnel, financial personnel, and other personnel required by the project, which are directly established and led by the project manager)
The project manager should have three basic qualities: good communication, good technology, and good patience.
The project process is changeable. On-site project personnel are composed of persons with different fields and different cultural levels. The human factor in the project is the first. Different people have different values, different ways of thinking, and other differences (our staff are particularly prominent in this regard, it is possible that the company does not accept training or corporate culture education in this regard). interpersonal communication is particularly important in projects. The project manager must not only manage the team of the project, but also integrate the team with other teams. Therefore, the project manager must have good communication methods. Communication is the basis of coordination. Only good communication can achieve the purpose of coordination. Through communication, you can master the customer's needs and potential needs, develop a reasonable project plan, and discover problems or potential problems in the project, it can enhance team cohesion and work efficiency. The foundation of communication is the good technology and character of the Project Manager. Project managers do not require technical experts, but require "extensive" knowledge, that is, a comprehensive understanding of the technical elements of the project and relevant industry knowledge, familiar with relevant regulations, etc. (Some Party A may like to speak with others, but as Party A's representative, doing a good job of the Project is his fundamental interest and the common interest of him and the company's Project Department ). On the other hand, the project manager should be able to skillfully use various social and technical resources to serve the project.
N intelligent project communication relationship
The communication process is the process of collecting, feedback, and processing project information. There are external and internal communication points. The communication mode can be written or verbal.
A) communication with customers
The customer is the receiver and user of the final product. The customer's needs are the ultimate goal of the project. The final goal is achieved by the Project Manager through in-depth communication with the customer. The project manager must fully understand and understand the customer's needs and determine the project objectives on a fair and reasonable basis, the customer must be informed of the project schedule, quality objectives, and assurance measures to prevent other customers' concerns. Let customers fully feel that you are a trustworthy engineering vendor.
B) communication with supervision engineers
As the customer's project management representative, the supervision engineer is responsible for the overall control, management, and organization and coordination of the project. The project manager has the same responsibilities. The difference is that the supervision engineer is the representative of the customer, and the project manager is the representative of the company. Project managers establish extensive communication with supervision engineers to facilitate project control.
C) communication with the design unit (Design Department)
As the overall planning and design organization of the project, the design organization has certain technical authority in the customer's mind. However, not all design institutes are capable of designing intelligent systems, which is the current situation of architectural design in China. Through further technical exchanges with the design department, the Project Manager can improve the overall planning of the project and make the system functions easier to implement. After all, the intelligent system is attached to the building body and matches with the design of the plane structure of the building, HVAC, water supply and drainage, power supply and distribution, and other mechanical and electrical systems. The design modification requirements of Weak Current for buildings and the modification of Weak Current must also comply with the general requirements of the architectural design and be recognized by the design department.
D) communication with the general contractor
The general contractor is primarily responsible for the completion of the overall project objectives. As a sub-project, the quality, progress, investment, security and civilization requirements of the intelligent project must meet the overall requirements of the general package. It is a cooperative project that is included in the overall management and coordination of the project. Good communication with the general contractor is conducive to the implementation of the project.
E) communication with other construction units
There are many interfaces, interfaces, and conflicts in the project. The project manager must be able to resolve various problems and conflicts in the project and straighten out the interfaces and interfaces during construction. Collaboration is the main reason for communication with other construction units, and also the main factor for streamlining engineering processes and improving engineering speed.
F) internal communication within the team
The project team is a temporary organization, and the cohesion of the team is the key to project success. Through communication, the Project Manager can understand the working status, responsibility, enthusiasm, and other factors related to the project. The Project Manager's authority is not only from the power granted by the company, but also from the personality. The project manager is both a leader and a member of the team.
G) communication with the supplier
Intelligent Systems generally use semi-mature products and systems, and the supplier is the direct provider of technology. The Project Manager communicates extensively with the supplier to obtain the most important technical clues of the project and ensure the quality and progress of the installation of engineering equipment.
There are many other processes that the project manager needs to communicate with, such as related functional units and other non-direct project-related suppliers. The communication process is the process of information collection. The project manager should collect sufficient information to serve the project. All such information is screened for more effective project management, planning, organization, coordination and control.
H) Communication helps to determine the project objectives
How can we determine the project objectives of an intelligent system? There is only one answer: communication.
A project is a special task to be completed. It is a general term for a number of related jobs that meet a series of specific goals within a certain period of time. That is to say, a project is a set of specific work objectives with location, time, resources, and regulatory requirements (such as performance, quality, quantity, and technical indicators. Therefore, you must effectively plan the project and use this resource to achieve the intended goal. Intelligent projects have four periodic stages: Concept stage, development stage, implementation stage, and end stage. In the concept phase, the company should plan the project scheme and make bidding according to the customer's requirements to determine the project objectives. In the development phase, the company should carry out detailed design according to the project objectives, and formulate the project implementation plan. in the implementation phase of the project, the project team should control and adjust the plan according to the implementation of the project. At the end of the project stage, the project team should actively organize and complete the project completion handover. The project manager must specify the project objectives in project management.
The basic objectives are as follows:
I. The final deliverables of the project meet the predetermined requirements and provide an intelligent system that meets the customer's predetermined needs.
Ii. Time Objective of the project. The progress of an intelligent project must meet the overall progress requirements.
Iii. Cost objectives of the project. The project must be completed within the specified cost range.
It is not easy for the project manager to accomplish this goal. It is necessary to carry out effective planning, management and control. The main content of target management is contract management. The project manager must specify the provisions of the contract and the provisions of laws and regulations.
Because the intelligent system is still in a stage of continuous growth and development, even if mainstream products and systems have a wide range of specifications and types, there are also great differences in functions and prices, the customer's understanding of smart systems is only superficial or conceptual. As an integrated engineering engineer, it is the responsibility of the customer to fully understand the characteristics, functions, and social and economic benefits of the intelligent building system.
I. Introduce the basic components, functions and functions of the intelligent building system to the customer in writing or orally;
Ii. Communicate with the customer to understand the actual and potential needs of the customer, provide targeted solution planning on the premise of fair and non-profit drive, and demonstrate the feasibility and necessity of the system.
Iii. provide users with System Application Instances and give them a detailed introduction so that they can have a perceptual knowledge of the intelligent system.
IV. provide customers with preliminary targeted system design solutions, describes in detail the expected functions, system features, equipment configuration requirements, requirements for building environmental platforms, and reasonable cost of the system.
2. Project Planning and Control
The most critical phase of project management is the development and implementation phases of the project and the main phase of executing the contract. The key to the development phase is the establishment of the project team, the deepening design of the system, and the organization of the project implementation plan. The main work in the implementation phase is the implementation and control of the plan.
The plan of the intelligent building system mainly includes the schedule, quality plan, procurement plan, and construction plan. Planning is the basis of control. The project implementation process is the implementation, inspection and analysis, adjustment, and re-planning of the project.
A) project progress plan
The project schedule has always been one of the most important aspects of the construction project, because the schedule is closely related to the project cost. The project manager is also most concerned about the progress check: Is the progress delayed? Does the input cost exceed the budget?
B) determine the scope of work of the project based on the project objectives
Intelligent projects also have multi-objective attributes of projects. When determining the scope of work, the project manager should preliminarily determine the final expectations of the project and the list of deliverables based on the contract and customer needs, and should also consider various constraints and Risk Factors of the project, at the same time, we should be concerned with the impact of other sub-projects and lessons learned from history.
C) Work Breakdown
Splitting a complex project into simple and operable tasks is an effective means in the Project Plan. Two feasible results can be obtained through Work Breakdown: One is through the project work from coarse to fine decomposition process, you can get operable simple tasks (for example, the pipe column is a simple task, the threading column is a simple task, the installation column is a simple task, and the debugging device column is a simple task, and the progress, manpower, and material resources are determined based on each task ), second, specific responsible departments and personnel that can implement various work.
D) Estimated working hours
An Intelligent System Project is a sub-project that must be used together with the main progress of the project. Therefore, the project manager must obtain the comprehensive main project related to the project and the project progress plan data, and make time estimates for each work based on the project progress experience and human and material resources. (The plan calculation method is used to obtain data such as key processes, total construction periods, earliest start time, latest start time, earliest completion time, latest completion time, total working time, and mobile time .)
E) prepare a schedule and project budget
The schedule can intuitively reflect the project progress requirements and facilitate progress tracking. Allocate reasonable human and material resources according to the schedule to carry out the project budget. A reasonable budget must be in line with the characteristics of the project, such as projects that are basically in coordination with the project, centralized input of manpower and material resources, and technical construction personnel.
F) Project Schedule Control
The purpose of a project is to effectively manage the project and the baseline is the basis for project progress control.
How can we control the project progress?
First, clarify the purpose of control, strengthen comprehensive, coordination and supervision from all aspects, establish a project management system, and the responsible person should report the implementation of the work to the project manager in a timely manner, the project manager should report to the customer on a regular basis and coordinate the project resources at any time (General Supervision Organization; second, predict the future progress of the project, compare the current situation with the current situation, and promptly formulate amendments to achieve the goal, progress, or budget scheme.
G) Project Risk Control
Project risks are the possibility that the project fails to reach the expected goal or even fails. The risks and benefits coexist. Intelligent Building projects also have various risks, such as risks arising from unfavorable contracts, risks arising from technical design and products, risks arising from unfavorable communication, and risks arising from the implementation process. Using scientific methods to identify risks, assess risks, and design and implement effective methods to control risks is an important task of project management.
There are many causes of risks. The future of the project, the complexity of the project, the change of the project environment, and the human factors in the project will bring risks to the project. Risks of intelligent projects are mainly caused by the complexity of contracts, technical design, and system products. Therefore, good system planning can avoid or reduce risks in project contracts, good communication, systematic project planning, sound technical design, and standardized implementation processes can avoid or reduce the risks of project complexity.
