1Question

Tell me about a time you managed a project that was falling behind programme — what steps did you take to recover it?

Situation: A £3.2M commercial fit-out in Glasgow fell 4 weeks behind programme due to a structural steel supply delay identified at RIBA Stage 4. Task: As Project Manager, I was responsible for recovering the programme without exceeding the agreed cost plan. Action: I convened an emergency progress meeting with the contractor and structural engineer, resequenced the internal fit-out works to run concurrently with the steel installation, and negotiated a revised procurement route with an alternative supplier. I updated the client report within 24 hours and issued a revised programme. Result: The project achieved practical completion only 1 week beyond the original date, and the client confirmed their satisfaction in writing, leading to a follow-on instruction for a second fit-out.
2Question

Give an example of a difficult client relationship you navigated successfully during a project.

Situation: On a £1.8M education refurbishment, the client's internal estates team and the head teacher had conflicting priorities over phasing, creating tension that was delaying design sign-off. Task: As the primary point of contact, I needed to align both stakeholders without jeopardising the summer holiday construction window. Action: I organised a structured workshop with both parties, prepared a phasing options report with cost and programme implications for each scenario, and facilitated agreement on a hybrid approach. I followed up with clear action minutes and a single-page decision log shared weekly. Result: Design sign-off was achieved 2 weeks later, the contractor mobilised on time, and the school reopened on schedule in September with no disruption to pupils.
