Depending on the size of the project, an independent project manager may help ensure that any works you are arranging are progressed smoothly and correctly.

It’s not a requirement. Depending on the size of the project an independent project manager may help ensure that any works you are arranging are progressed smoothly and correctly.

With any repair and maintenance works, it is important that owners review the scope and contract fully in advance and make sure that their expectation for the works is in alignment with what the contractor is expecting to deliver. Then, it is a question of checking the works while they are in progress and signing off on completion. A Committee can fulfil that function, but an independent project manager will have the expertise to give you confidence that everything is being handled correctly.

Otherwise, most contractors for major works will appoint their own internal project manager for any job. They will be managing and assessing the work of their own company so that needs to be taken into consideration, but their job is still to ensure the works are completed to a satisfactory level.
