Fill the Gaps: On-Demand Construction Management Support for Growing Firms
Introduction
Staffing shortages and unexpected team changes can derail even the most well-planned construction projects. For growing construction firms, the pressure to deliver on time and under budget is constant, but hiring full-time staff isn’t always realistic.
That’s where on-demand construction management support from Summit Consultants steps in. Designed to bridge temporary staffing gaps, our flexible project management services keep your momentum strong, even during transitions.
The Problem: Understaffed Projects and Costly Delays
In construction, delays aren’t just inconvenient, they’re expensive! Whether it's an unexpected resignation, seasonal fluctuations, or a rapid business expansion, being short-staffed can lead to:
Missed deadlines
Budget overruns
Poor communication
Frustrated clients and partners
Unfortunately, these scenarios are all too common. Many general contractors find themselves facing resource shortages without the time or bandwidth to hire and train new staff.
What Is On-Demand Construction Management Support?
On-demand construction management support is a contract-based service that provides experienced project managers when and where you need them most — typically for durations of one week to six months.
Summit Consultants delivers plug-and-play professionals skilled in:
Project management software: Procore, CMiC, PlanGrid
Scheduling tools: MS Project, Primavera P6
Cost control systems: Deltek, Oracle, Spectrum, PMWeb
Rather than going through a time-consuming hiring process, you can instantly scale your management capacity. All of this without long-term commitments or overhead costs!
