Why You Need an Expert NDIS Project Manager

Home modifications involve multiple trades, complex scheduling, and critical quality standards—all while you're continuing to live in your home. Having a dedicated project manager oversee your NDIS-funded modifications provides peace of mind and ensures successful outcomes.

At TruePath Access, we have extensive experience coordinating complex home modification projects throughout South Australia.

With a TruePath project manager overseeing your modifications, you can focus on your daily life while we handle the complexities of construction management. Our service ensures your home modifications are completed to the highest standards, on time, and in line with all NDIS requirements.

Our Three-Stage NDIS Project Management Process

Stage 1: Preliminaries – Setting the Foundation

The preliminary stage is crucial for establishing clear expectations and ensuring all stakeholders are aligned before construction begins. Our project manager services during this phase include:

• Engaging your selected builder and establishing formal working relationships
• Arranging and facilitating comprehensive prestart meetings with all stakeholders
• Developing and documenting project staging, key milestone deadlines, and progress claim schedules
• Providing assistance with material selections and finishes where required
• Reviewing building contracts to ensure they protect your interests and meet NDIS requirements

This thorough preparation prevents misunderstandings and creates a solid foundation for your modification project, giving you confidence that all details have been properly addressed before work begins.

Stage 2: Commencement of Modifications – Active Management

During construction, our project manager provides active oversight of all aspects of your home modification project. Our comprehensive services during this critical phase include:

• Managing and signing off on progress payments to ensure work meets quality standards before payment
• Regularly assessing work progress and quality against approved specifications
• Maintaining coordination between all project stakeholders throughout construction
• Conducting detailed inspections at key construction milestones
• Preparing and submitting variation documentation when circumstances require changes
• Promptly resolving any issues that arise during construction
• Performing additional inspections as needed to address specific concerns

Our proactive management approach identifies potential problems early, preventing delays and ensuring quality standards are maintained throughout the construction process. This careful oversight protects your interests and ensures modifications truly meet your accessibility needs.

Stage 3: Site Inspections and Final Sign Off – Ensuring Quality Completion

The final stage of our project manager service focuses on ensuring all work meets quality standards and contractual requirements before handover. Our comprehensive completion process includes:

• Coordinating final site inspections with all relevant stakeholders including you, your OT, and support coordinator
• Thoroughly assessing the builder's finished works against approved specifications
• Managing the handover process, including collection of product warranties and compliance certificates
• Providing comprehensive photographic documentation and detailed final reports
• Creating defect lists where applicable and managing resolution of any outstanding items

This rigorous completion process ensures you receive modifications that not only meet building standards but also fulfill your functional requirements. Our detailed documentation provides valuable records for NDIS reporting and any future maintenance needs.

Benefits of Our Specialised NDIS Project Manager Service

Expert Knowledge of NDIS Requirements

Our project managers specialise in NDIS-funded home modifications and understand the specific documentation, quality standards, and reporting requirements. This specialised knowledge ensures your modifications comply with all NDIS guidelines, preventing funding complications or approval issues for variations.

Protection of Your Interests

As your dedicated representative, our project manager advocates for your interests throughout the construction process. We ensure builders adhere to specifications, maintain quality standards, and complete work as agreed. This protection is particularly valuable when you may not have the technical knowledge to identify construction issues yourself.

Reduced Stress and Disruption

Home modifications can be disruptive and stressful, particularly when you're living in the home during construction. Our project management service minimises this impact through careful planning, clear communication, and effective coordination of trades. We manage the complexities while you focus on your daily activities.

Quality Assurance

Our regular inspections and milestone assessments ensure work meets both building standards and your specific accessibility requirements. This ongoing quality control prevents substandard work and ensures modifications function as intended to improve your independence and quality of life.

Timely Completion

Effective project management significantly reduces delays and keeps your modifications on schedule. Our project managers coordinate trades efficiently, anticipate potential delays, and implement solutions quickly when challenges arise. This professional oversight typically results in faster completion times than unmanaged projects.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Project Manager Service

Is project management included in NDIS funding?

Yes, NDIS typically funds project management as part of home modification packages, recognising the essential role it plays in ensuring successful outcomes. Our project manager fees are included in the quotes submitted for NDIS approval, meaning there are no additional out-of-pocket expenses once funding is approved.

How often will my project manager visit the site?

The frequency of site visits depends on the complexity of your modifications and the construction timeline. Typically, our project managers conduct inspections at key milestones such as pre-construction, after demolition, during framing, at waterproofing stage, and prior to final handover. Additional visits are scheduled as needed to address specific concerns or inspect critical elements.

What if there are problems with the builder's work?

Our project managers conduct regular quality inspections and will identify any issues with workmanship or compliance. If problems are found, we document them thoroughly, communicate directly with the builder to arrange corrections, and ensure resolutions meet the required standards before approving progress payments. This oversight protects you from substandard work and ensures all modifications function as intended.
