It is often said that a professional makes it (no matter what the “it” is), look easy. In fact, the observer can be fooled, tricked even, into the belief that “it” probably isn’t too difficult after all…until they attempt it themselves that is, whether it be a sport, musical instrument, home project, or in the business world.

True professionals make it look easy for many reasons, attributes such as knowledge, practical experience, physical expertise combined with interpersonal communication skills, would all rank right up at the top of most lists. This is exactly why you should reach out to the Smith & Long National Services Group for your next project management requirement!

Over many years now, we at Smith & Long have developed the knowledge, practical experience, physical expertise, combined with excellent interpersonal communication skills…the same key ingredients that can provide you and your firm virtually seamless project executions.

At Smith & Long, we all work very hard to make any project regardless of size or complexity look “easy”, by communicating, collaborating and coordinating the many details that are involved with any project…no matter what the size.  

Project Management. There are many moving parts and variables represented by that word “project”, and the vast majority of these “parts” are almost solely dependent on people. People delivering on promises made as to the timeliness of approvals, clarity of design and design decisions, potential changes, supply of appropriate management and field labour, material and equipment deliveries…of the correct material and equipment…as needed and when needed.

Communication. Another vital word in the world of Project Management for without effective, timely two-way communication in its many available forms and formats, any project will surely fail. At Smith & Long, we firmly believe in communicating clearly and as often as deemed appropriate throughout a project’s life, in order to keep you informed of both the positive progress and any potential roadblocks that may affect the schedule well in advance so that together we can come up with effective plans to mitigate any possible delays.

It is by Responding to all details proactively vs. reactively that we can keep the project on time and on budget for sure, but also in this way we can help ensure that you the customer get the absolute best value in a quality project, performance through to the final product. And that is a sound value proposition!

Skilled Trades. Any project that we manage is heavily dependent on the skilled trades that we manage under our control. While we are prepared to work with virtually any preferred subtrades you may have positive historical experience with, know that Smith & Long have developed strong alliances and working relationships with many subtrades from coast to coast. Once the project group is assembled, you can depend on Smith & Long to develop a cohesive enthusiastic team amongst the various members.

Quality Manufacturers & Suppliers. At the end of the day when the project is complete and the project team have moved on to their next project, the quality of installation from a labour perspective works hand in hand with the actual products installed. That is why through our project management group we can provide excellent sourcing and procurement of the required materials and equipment to make your project a success from a quality, cost-effective and excellent life-cycle perspective.

Why choose Smith & Long to take care of the Project Management requirements for your next project? Because you want to work with a professional group that works like a partner, respects you as a client and believes in healthy long-term trusting working relationships that deliver…every time
