Jorge Gutman: The Basics of Project Management

As a Miami-based construction professional for more than 30 years, Jorge Gutman understands just how crucial apt project management is to the completion of any residential or commercial build. Currently the Managing Member of FOF Investments, LLC – and the longtime owner of J. Gutman Construction, Inc. (1987-2008) – Gutman knows that projects tend to be managed in phases, most often beginning with:

  • Planning and initiation. This phase typically involves project design, outlining the project budget and determining the steps and tasks needed to complete to get the job done as efficiently as possible.
  • Implementation. This is where the project leaves the planning phase and dives right into action – where the project manager(s) will ensure every party involved is executing on the plan in a timely and orderly fashion.

Control and monitoring. This phase, as Jorge Gutman knows, tends to overlap with execution – though it’s centered more on ensuring each aspect of the project is being carried through on schedule and within the budget. This is also where problems are resolved.
