At Trident, we have an extensive track record of delivering successful instructions, covering a range of sectors across the UK. But experience has shown us that there is no one-size-fits all approach to our projects. That’s why our team of qualified and experienced Project Managers bring a unique toolbox of skills to every project:
Taking the Lead
We understand that projects can be demanding and complex, which is why we take a proactive role in defining the project brief, developing the execution plan, and creating an initial development cost plan and budget. With access to a network of experienced consultants, we can bring the right expertise to each project, as well as provide guidance on contractor selection, tendering and procurement strategies.
As project managers, our primary focus is on effective management. We keep stakeholders aligned with the end goal, foster collaboration, and proactively manage risks to ensure the project stays on track and delivers successful outcomes.
Seeing the Future
As project managers, our role is to transform your vision into a successful reality. We fully understand and believe in your goals, and we actively anticipate the challenges that may arise throughout the project. By identifying potential obstacles early on, we can develop effective solutions to overcome them. This forward-thinking approach enables us to make informed decisions ensuring we achieve your vision while minimising any disruptions to the project’s progress.
Locking in outcomes at every stage
A project’s success goes beyond simply checking off deliverables; it’s about the outcomes those deliverables enable.
We focus on the bigger picture, with the ultimate goal of fulfilling your vision and creating a positive, lasting impact. For us, true success is defined by achieving these outcomes, and we keep this focus in mind at every step of the project – from developing the initial brief to the final handover.
Technical competence
Our team of qualified and experienced project managers enables us to deliver project management services across all offices. Our team know their stuff and will advise on legislations and regulation around your project.
We’re not satisfied with what we know, we want to know more. Each member of our team is curious and committed to staying ahead of the latest trends and developments. Through personalised development plans and ongoing education, we ensure that we provide you the most current and expert advice across all specialisms.
Co-ordinating Expertise
The key to a successful project is collaboration- no single person can have all the answers. That’s why we bring in specialists, such as M&E Consultants, Environmental experts, Acoustic consultants and Transport specialists, to ensure every aspect of the project is covered. We empower these experts to focus on their area of expertise while ensuring their work is aligned with your project goals.
Our role is to co-ordinate this collective expertise, ensuring the right people are tackling the right tasks. We keep all stakeholders informed and engaged, working together to drive the project toward its overall success.
Showing Initiative
We understand that projects are influenced by a complex web of factors and even the most well thought out plans can encounter unexpected challenges. Shifting priorities, budget changes, unforeseen risks and evolving expectations are just a few examples of what can arise.
As project managers, it’s our responsibility to take the initiative and act decisively. The success of the project depends on our ability to navigate these challenges. We use the information available to assess risks and make informed decisions, ensuring the project stays on tack and continues moving forward.
Risk Management
As the saying goes, “the reward is in the risk”, but that doesn’t mean we take unnecessary chances. Our Project Managers anticipate and proactively address potential risks before they become issues.
We closely monitor and control project progress, providing regular updates and guidance on feasibility and strategy using key benchmarks like time, cost and quality. These steps, as well as other control factors, help us manage any risk to ensure your project’s success.
Embracing Change
Successful Project Management is not just about following a plan-it’s about embracing change.
Throughout a project, ideas, needs and resources can evolve, and our role is to stay on top of these changes and adjust the project accordingly.
Project managers who rigidly stick to the initial plan may miss new opportunities or struggle to overcome challenges. We stay up to date on industry trends, remain adaptable and can think on our feet to navigate the ever-changing project environment to ensure success.
Technology
Speaking of change, the project management landscape is continually shaped by new technologies. We stay ahead of the curve by keeping up with the latest advancements and integrating these technologies into our services to enhance efficiency, communication and overall project outcomes.
Some examples of the technologies we use include:
Drones – These provide precise topographical maps, monitor progress in real time, and allow us to inspect hard to reach areas, ensuring we have accurate data to make informed decisions. At Trident we have our own fleet of Drones so we can provide this service in house.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) – BIM improves project visualisation, enables clash detection, and enhances co-ordination between architects, engineers, and contractors, reducing errors during construction and fostering better collaboration.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – AI helps us forecast potential project risks, suggest scheduling adjustments, optimise resource allocation, and improve decision making, all of which contribute to smoother project execution.
By leveraging these technologies, we streamline processes and drive better results, ensuring every project is completed efficiently and successfully.
