Setting up a project control group#

Your school board should appoint a control group at the beginning of the project. The control group oversees your building project. It is likely to include:

• a project manager
• the principal
• the school board chair or other members of the board
• other representatives from the school community.

Project manager#

The project manager chairs the group. They are responsible for managing:

• project delivery timeframes
• communication
• information sharing
• problem solving
• dispute management.

The project manager could be someone from the school or a professional project manager hired by the school.

School representatives#

School representatives are appointed by the board to represent the school's interest. They provide oversight on the project and monitor its progress.

They may be:

• a member of the board, such as the principal
• a teaching staff member
• another school employee
• a school community member who is actively involved in the school.
