Alberta project management services

For communities in Edmonton, FirstService Residential provides dedicated project management support for major capital projects, helping boards coordinate complex work with confidence from planning through completion. From initial scope development to project close-out, our team supports boards by acting as a trusted representative throughout the entire process.

We coordinate stakeholders, monitor progress, manage risks, and maintain clear communication throughout the process. Our goal is to help oversee that projects stay organized, budgets remain visible, and decisions are made with the information needed to move forward effectively.
 

Project planning and scope development

Every successful project begins with a clearly defined scope. We work alongside boards to review engineering reports, assess project requirements, and establish priorities that align with community objectives and available budgets.

By evaluating recommended work, alternative options, and long-term needs, we help boards distinguish between essential project components and optional enhancements, creating a practical roadmap before procurement begins.
 

Tendering, procurement, and contractor selection

Finding the right consultants and contractors is one of the most important decisions in any capital project. We guide the procurement process from start to finish, coordinating tender activities, facilitating pre-tender discussions, and reviewing submissions as they are received.

Our team assists the board in evaluating proposals, comparing pricing options, and assessing overall value so informed decisions can be made with confidence.
 

Project oversight and administration

Once construction begins, ongoing oversight becomes critical to maintaining momentum and accountability. We monitor project process through regular site reviews, coordinate communication between stakeholders, and help address issues before they become larger concerns.

We also review change orders, maintain project documentation, and support collaboration between contractors, consultants, and the board to keep projects moving forward efficiently.
 

Resident communication

Keeping residents informed helps reduce uncertainty and supports a smoother project experience.

We coordinate project communications, providing timely updates regarding schedules, milestones, anticipated disruptions, and resident responsibilities. Throughout the project we help oversee that both residents and board members have the information they need.
 

Project reporting and financial management

Transparency is essential for effective project governance. We provide regular reporting through project dashboards and schedule tracking tools that offer visibility into key milestones, progress updates, identified risks, and upcoming activities.

Our team also reviews and tracks project invoices, monitors expenditures, and helps maintain accurate financial records. By providing ongoing budget oversight and reporting, we help boards maintain a clear understanding of project financial performance at every stage.
 

Project close-out and holdback administration

As projects are near completion, we assist in managing the final review process to oversee that contractual requirements have been met and outstanding deficiencies are addressed.

We coordinate completion reviews, track corrective work, and assist with holdback administration following the issuance of the Certificate of Completion. Our support helps support that projects are formally and successfully closed out before final payments are released.
