Basic rules for construction Project Management
By: Paul | 23-07-2008
Hi!   I'm a custodial manager at a mid sized University withn 20+ years in this field.  I've been in my present job 3 years.  We have multiple building projects going on simultaneously every summer.  The project managers (especially in house PMs) are not providing custodial services with information and we not allowed or invited to their meetings.  However, we are expected to support the close of their projects with short/no notice, no scope of work and without regard as to how it impacts work that is scheduled.  This week I talked with my new boss about this problem.  i asked for a procedure to be put in place that provides tentative completion dates, site walk thrus and a general scope of work.  She seems to think the responsiblity is all mine to ascertain this info on my own and that I'm oof base in general.  I disagree with her assessment.  Isn't the info I'm seeking basic project management 101???? Any thoughts would be appreciated
