EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT ACCORDING TO DGLA METHODOLOGY
In the construction industry, efficient management is not just a necessity; it is the pillar on which long-term success and sustainability is built. The ability to plan, coordinate and execute each phase of the project with precision determines the profitability and quality of the final result.
The DGLA methodology is designed precisely to address these challenges, offering a holistic approach that optimizes every aspect of the construction process, from conception to final delivery.
This holistic practice not only ensures that deadlines and budgets are met, but also raises quality and safety standards, positioning builders and developers who adopt it as leaders in a highly competitive market.
Discover how to strategically transform the development of your requirements based on our experience.
Strategic Planning: Establishing the Project Fundamentals
Strategic planning is the critical first step in ensuring the success of any construction project. This process involves the clear definition of objectives, the precise allocation of resources, and the identification and mitigation of risks from the outset.


At DGLA, strategic planning is a comprehensive process that is divided into 4 key stages:
- Definition of Specific Goals. It is crucial that everyone involved in the project understands and shares the goals from the beginning. This includes aligning with the client’s expectations, understanding their needs and desires in order to tailor solutions.
- Resource Allocation. Once the objectives have been established, we focus on the precise allocation of resources.
- This ranges from the selection of materials and technology to the coordination of specialized work teams, ensuring that each phase of the project is supported with what is necessary for its efficient execution.
Risk Assessment. - Risk identification is an integral part of planning. We assess potential challenges, such as supply chain delays or weather issues, and develop contingency strategies to minimize them.
- Contingency Planning. Anticipating unforeseen events is essential. That’s why we always have a plan B for every aspect of the project. This not only ensures that we can adapt quickly to unexpected situations, but also maintains the client’s peace of mind and the integrity of the project.
Time Management: Meeting Deadlines
Time management is a critical aspect of successful construction projects. This is because it is crucial to maintaining client confidence and ensuring the profitability of what you want to execute.
In fact, according to a detailed report by Deloitte, 77% of construction projects are prone to delays that negatively affect their budget and schedule; due to the lack of organization and anticipation in measurable agreements.

In our methodology, we prioritize precision and foresight in time management. By working with our network of more than 300 European design firms, we ensure that all necessary materials arrive on time and that project execution is carried out according to a strict schedule.
For us, it is imperative to mitigate potential delays; even if that translates into real-time adjustments to the way the project is executed and its scope.

Coordination and Communication: Keeping the Project in Motion
Another recurring mistake when leading this type of requirements is the lack of alignment between the different participants within the same. That is, from designers and builders to suppliers; which can generate delays and cost overruns that compromise the final result.
For each member of our multidisciplinary team of professionals, working under a unified methodology is the basic need to cope with this type of requests; in order to be synchronized in each phase of the project.

In addition, our advanced contract control system automates the management of communication and coordination, ensuring that every detail is executed according to plan.
In these more than 10 years in the architecture, interior design and construction industry, our goal has been to establish milestones that set us apart for the service and management we provide.

Therefore, we share the flow that we replicate in all our applications:
Establishing Communication Channels. From the outset, we define appropriate communication channels, such as emails, regular meetings, and project management platforms. This ensures that everyone involved knows how and where to share information.
Clear Roles and Responsibilities. It is essential to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of each team member so that everyone knows who to contact for specific questions, decision approval, or problem resolution.
Regular Update Meetings. We implement weekly or bi-weekly update meetings where all teams can present their progress, identify potential obstacles and plan corrective actions.
Documentation and Tracking. Keeping a detailed record of all key communications and decisions made is crucial. We use project management software that allows us to document every step and facilitates access to information for all participants.
Cost Control: Ensuring Project Profitability
It’s not just about staying within budget, but maximizing financial efficiency to ensure the profitability and long-term sustainability of the project. Without proper management, unforeseen cost overruns can arise due to factors such as fluctuations in material prices, changes in customer requirements, or errors in initial planning.

These problems not only affect the financial viability of the project, but can also cause significant delays and loss of stakeholder confidence.
Here are the main cost control challenges you may face
- Unforeseen cost overruns can arise from changes in material prices, errors in initial estimates, or last-minute design modifications. According to a KPMG study, 70% of construction projects exceed their initial budget, often due to a lack of effective control from the outset.
- Lack of Transparency and Communication. When there is a lack of clear communication about the financial status of the project, misunderstandings and conflicts can arise. This not only affects the relationship with the client, but can also lead to inefficient cost management decisions.
- Inefficiency in Materials and Resource Management. Poor planning in the purchase and use of materials can result in waste and delays. Lack of coordination in the delivery and storage of materials can also increase operating costs.
In our company, we use an advanced contract control system that allows us to manage the purchase, import and delivery of materials in an automated and efficient manner.
This scheme not only keeps costs within budget, but also allows us to anticipate potential cost overruns and take preventive measures to ensure project profitability.
Evaluation and Continuous Improvement: Learning from Every Project
Continuous evaluation enables early detection of problems, which is essential to prevent small issues from becoming critical failures. This proactive approach not only saves time and money, but also ensures that projects remain in line with quality standards.
It also facilitates process improvement, as constant analysis of performance and results allows inefficiencies to be identified and best practices to be applied, thus optimizing the execution of each project phase.

At DGLA, we strongly believe in the importance of continuous evaluation and improvement, and therefore we have developed a comprehensive approach that covers all stages of the project, from planning to final delivery. Our evaluation system includes regular internal audits to ensure compliance with quality and safety standards, as well as to verify that costs and schedules remain on schedule. In addition, we greatly value feedback from all stakeholders involved, including work teams and clients, which provides us with a complete and balanced view of each project.

On each project, we thoroughly document the results and lessons learned, ensuring that this knowledge is effectively transferred to future projects. This practice creates a culture of continuous improvement at DGLA, ensuring that each new project not only meets but exceeds established standards, offering our clients the peace of mind of knowing that they are working with a team committed to excellence and innovation.
The DGLA methodology has been developed to maximize the success of each project, optimizing resources, meeting deadlines and raising quality standards.
By adopting this approach, builders and developers can significantly improve their competitiveness and ensure outstanding results in every project they undertake. Start a powerful partnership with DGLA!
