During the execution phase of a construction project, you, the project manager, discover that the materials delivered do not meet the specifications outlined in the project scope. This has led to a critical issue affecting the structural integrity of the building. What should be your first step in collaborating with relevant stakeholders to resolve the issue?
Document the issue in the issue log and send it in the weekly status report to stakeholders.
Instruct the project team to halt all construction activities until new materials are delivered.
Organize an urgent meeting with the suppliers, your quality control team, structural engineers, and the client to discuss the issue and potential solutions.
Issue a change request to replace the substandard materials.
Stakeholders must be engaged and informed regarding project issues that have significant impacts, such as those affecting structural integrity. Organizing an urgent meeting with the suppliers, the quality control team, the structural engineers, and the client provides a forum for discussing the issue in depth, considering stakeholders' perspectives, and deciding on a collaborative solution. While documenting the issue is important, it is secondary to holding the urgent meeting, especially given the severity of the problem. Issuing a change request is premature without first understanding the root cause and available options, which would be discussed in the meeting. Halting work may be part of the eventual solution, but it does not prioritize the necessary first step of stakeholder collaboration.
