Project Management

We practice balanced matrix management, in which staff are assigned to a project and report on a day-to-day basis to project managers, while their overall performance is overseen by their respective discipline managers. For construction projects, staff are dedicated to that project and accountable to that manager for the life of the project.

Venture uses, a fully integrated enterprise software system for accounting and project management. We manage time and expenses, billing, resource management and project planning through one central system. Project managers see hours and expenses as they are logged by employees, before they are posted, with no bottleneck from double entry of data (and no errors), allowing real time control. Reports can easily be customized to meet client requirements. At weekly planning meetings, hours are rolled up by staff members for each project, and reviewed in the context of schedules and deliverables, to plan realistically and balance hours.
