Project and construction management

Project and construction management

Granlund’s construction management consultants ensure that projects are completed efficiently and in accordance with the agreed quality, budget and schedule. We lead the project and look after your interests.

Construction management ensures project success

Granlund’s construction management consultants take an active approach to ensure that projects move forward. We make sure that the cost, schedule and quality targets set for your project guide every crucial decision and that construction goes according to plan from start to finish.

Our construction management consultants help you with managing the project as a whole, as well as more detailed planning and implementation, as needed. Whether your project is a small-scale renovation or a major industrial investment, we ensure that the risks, procurements, contracts and information related to the construction project are well-managed.

We provide you with access to strong expertise and extensive experience in the preparation, design control and supervision of construction projects.

When does a construction management consultant step into a construction project?

  • Feasibility studies and needs assessment
  • Project planning
  • Design tendering
  • Design control
  • Procurement
  • Construction phase
  • Assurance and monitoring of the functioning of MEP systems
  • Commissioning and its supervision 
  • Warranty period and servicing of warranty obligations 

Project management makes projects run smoothly

Our project management professionals ensure that construction progresses as planned. We align the goals of the project parties with the objectives of the client.

Granlund’s project management professionals have strong expertise in cost planning, cost control, schedule control and business intelligence in the context of construction projects.

1. Understanding of the client’s needs

We help you to define the future scope of your project so that it aligns with your interests.

We carry out project studies and the necessary cost calculations.

We can create a schedule for the project. We are also skilled in 4D scheduling and visualisation.

2. Choosing a suitable project delivery method

We understand different types of contracts, ranging from traditional contracts (e.g. DB, DBB, CMAR) to cooperative contracts, and we are familiar with the operators in the industry and the market.

We help you choose a contract type that suits the needs of your project.

3. Design management

Our construction management consultants manage the design process according to the client’s goals, take adaptability into consideration, and assess future needs.

In design contracts and design management, we take into account the construction project’s environmental and low-carbon requirements, as well as other sustainability targets set by the customer.

4. Construction and operational phase

Our construction management consultants take responsibility for the management, reporting and supervision of the construction project.

Our experienced procurement experts are familiar with different procurement methods and contract models.

We lead your project and look after your interests. Once construction is complete, we ensure that your property remains highly functional and retains its value during the operational phase.

Examples of areas we excel in

We carry out both new construction and renovation projects in the following industries, among others:

Business premises and office buildings

Data centers

Industrial and production buildings

Schools, educational institutions and daycare centers

Commercial premises and retail

Hospitals and healthcare

Cultural and historical buildings

Residential buildings and housing companies

Our other strengths in construction management

Our people responsible for data center projects boast decades of experience in the construction of data centers and other critical operating environments. Having implemented different data center projects for over 15 years, we offer unsurpassed data center design, consulting and construction management resources in the Nordic countries.

In the construction management of data center projects, you will be supported by an international team that is also familiar with international contracts, such as FIDIC. Our organisations in Finland and Sweden provide assistance in the project development phase, starting with site acquisition and selection.

In terms of project management, we use snapshots that provide real-time information, e.g. on schedules, costs and quality. We also utilise drone and video filming for site inspections. Also 4D-schedule can be utilised for smoothing and mitigating the risks of project delivery.

Controlled environmental conditions in cleanrooms are achieved when monitoring is carried out throughout the project and the functionality of the deployed solutions is verified continuously, also during the project. An expert construction management consultant ensures that the premises meet strict standards and technical systems function flawlessly.  

We take comprehensive responsibility for project management, construction management and supervision tasks for cleanrooms in industrial environments, hospitals and laboratories.

Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) management is focused on the comprehensive management of multiple construction projects in clients properties. We engage in project planning and management, supervision and monitoring to ensure that projects progress in a timely and controlled manner as part of a long-term plan to maintain the value of the property. We report on project progress to both the client and the user organisations, depending on the structure of the site and the agreed-upon operating models.

Standardized procurement models for Capital Improvement Projects improve project throughput, shorten delivery times, and generate cost savings across the portfolio. In project management, we take into account energy efficiency, life-cycle costs and the impacts of repairs on the usability of the property.

Managing construction projects within mission critical industrial environments requires phased planning of the construction works, scheduling methods tailored to production needs, and close cooperation with the users.

We have strong project management experience in both smaller and larger scale projects. The project can be completed according to takt-based scheduling or short-cycle control, taking into account production-related needs.

We choose a project delivery method that serves your project, whether it is EPCM, PMC, traditional or a turnkey approach. We also take care of the relevant commissioning inspections and tests with regard to the supervision of MEP systems to ensure a smooth start to production.

Our experts understand the local operating environment and ensure that investments are delivered safely, on schedule, and in alignment with business objectives.
