Who are the Stakeholders in Your Construction Project? | Post 4

Different organisations contribute to your construction project. And these stakeholders can range from a single individual to an entire community. After all, a construction project includes every other discipline. Also, most of the institutions need your projects for employment, infrastructure and commerce.

But you and your team depend on many more indirect helpers as well. So, this post tries to enlist them one by one.

1 | Project Manager, Management Team and other Apex Decision-makers

Important stakeholders in infrastructure works are the management personnel. Because you can have all other parties interested in a project. Still, a lack of foresight can ruin it. So, poor planning skills and confused leaders cause a construction project failure.

2 | Architects, Engineers and Consulting Firms

Your projects demand a technically proficient workforce. And your in-house architects, as well as the resident engineers, are important here. But some project components might require a specialist's help. Of course, many consultants can help you in these situations.

3 | Contractors, Suppliers and Security Personnel

Each project embraces a case-specific design philosophy. So, you need a strong network of multiple contractors and subcontractors. As you rely on them, you get competitive offers. Also, the same principle applies to your tools and plants (T&P) providers.

Of course, you want to avoid any theft of your assets on the construction site. And restricting access to the authorised persons only is impossible without a reliable security staff.

4 | Human Resources and Training Agencies

Not every project is the same as your other accomplishments in your portfolio. Thus, you need new people to add value to your workflows. Because increasing your manpower helps you improve your production capacity.

Yet, having a lot of heads with no knowledge can be a liability. And even if you hire brilliant candidates or purchase the latest equipment, your organisation will always have a few unskilled workers.

Here, note that the word "unskilled" does not mean having no skill. But a smart person can be unfamiliar with a newer technological trend. So, do not attach an identity or negative meaning to the word "unskilled." If they lack skills, train them first.

That is where those training services come into the picture.

The Summary

Working on an infrastructure project is an honourable action. But beyond the bright lights and the Public Relations, you know that such projects are a humongous team effort. And you cannot afford to ignore any stakeholder in a construction project.

I hope this post included many different stakeholders for a general project. Also, I would update this post with more types of stakeholders when appropriate.
