In the complex world of construction, countless companies find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer scale and intricacies of building projects. They often enter this daunting arena without a dedicated project management team, unsure of where to focus their efforts or how to navigate the myriad of consultants and contractors vying for their attention. This lack of clarity can lead to frustrations, doubts, and a fear of being taken advantage of, leaving businesses feeling lost in a spiral of confusion.
