Prisma Proyectos has mainly been dedicated to providing integral solutions for Project Management. The company began as part of Hoteles Prisma de México, a company that develops and operates this type of real estate in the country.

In the beginning, the construction department participated in the majority of Hoteles Prisma’s projects, and therefore the idea came about to form, in the vision of the Prisma Proyectos General Director Francisco Salas, what would constitute Project Management, which would distinguish it from other companies in the industry. “We started giving service to internal clients from the group, so the challenge was much greater, it was to exceed our own expectations and do the right thing by the company that formed us. This is part of what has helped us to now be one of the most successful Project Management companies, as well as market leader. The projects in which our clients give us the opportunity to participate become like our own in the end, their success is our best recommendation”, states Francisco Salas.

The main value of Prisma Proyectos is its intellectual capital which comes with a lot of experience and training, demonstrated not only in hotel projects but also in commercial, residential, institutional and industrial developments, with the guarantee of delivery on time with quality for the best price.

The Prisma Proyectos commitment is to work as strategic allies with its clients, supplying focused solutions to satisfy their needs. For this they have at their disposal personnel totally committed to their clients and directives, offering them innovation and excellence in service.

Prisma Proyectos is focussed on the client with excellent service to the benefit of the project, they have strongly motivated and committed collaborators with professional excellence, whose desire to better themselves is reflected in their daily activities.

“Our attitude and experience added to the capability to integrate technology and add value to each proposal, positions us as leaders in the different markets we participate in. We work with an organizational model especially designed to attain the highest levels of efficiency in all of our processes: a value chain that permanently bets on innovation and excellence. Thanks to our experience we are able to guarantee the client piece of mind, confronting and solving every problem that can present itself”, adds the General Director of Prisma Proyectos.

The company’s main achievement in the project management of all the projects it carries out is finishing within budget and on time, supported by a team of highly qualified professionals, which allows them to have exact and precise control in the initial phases, planning, execution, control and the completion of the project, always insuring that the work is completed with the required standard of quality, surpassing the expectations of those who contracted our services.

All of Prisma Proyectos clients find different professional services, which without doubt surpass their expectations, and in this sense the project manager has tried diverse and effective strategies that help them in the following aspects: integration, reach, time, cost, quality, human resources, communication, risk and supply, among others. With the aforementioned aspects it is guaranteed that the initial stages, planning, execution, control and the completion of the project are satisfactorily carried.

Prisma Method: synonym of success

To explain how the different phases of the Prisma Proyectos methodology work, it is necessary to start at the beginning. During this process the objective will be determined between the client and all the key individuals involved, setting out the reach of the work, putting it in writing to have the project’s starting point.

During the next planning stage “how” to fulfil the REACH of the project is determined. This phase is the most important, because it is here they can really offer their clients a true saving. “Projects with correct planning always result in success; it is important to understand that these fail at the beginning, not at the end. Therefore this phase is extremely important and it is always necessary to try to give it the necessary time, to be able to present significant savings during the other cycles of the project,” states the General Director of the company.

In this phase Prisma Proyectos gives its clients some of the following services:

• Producing a project proposal according to the pre-determined reach.
• Preparing a general strategy for the project according to the site’s requirements and conditions, government bodies and services and the client. Establishing hiring methods with the client, for example lump sum and unit price, etc.
• Supervising and verifying the architectural project to guarantee that it complies with quality and construction standards.
• Coordination of engineering for civil works, electricity, water and sanitation, air-conditioning, rainwater, landscaping, finishings and others.
• And much more.

The next phase is the Project Execution and Control. At this point work begins and must be under strict control so that plans are complied with, therefore these two phases are carried out in conjunction. Some of the Prisma Proyectos functions in this part of the cycle are:

• Preparing a monthly expenditure plan based on the results of the tenders.
• Managing the corresponding deposits as a guarantee for the advance, fulfilment, quality and conventional penalties (if it applies to the project).
• Constantly supervising the building process according to the quality, time, cost and requirements of the client.
• Having a full time presence in the project’s assigned team
• Coordinating the architectural project and the corresponding installations, as well as helping other contractors in solving doubts and problems, with the support of the architectural project designers and other professionals.
• Documenting and maintaining control of all information, plans, permits and always having them at the client’s or designated people’s disposal.
• And much more.

As part of project control a weekly report is used and a monthly one reflects its status.

In the Project Completion Stage, contracts with suppliers and contractors are completed and the final delivery is carried out to the client. Some activities carried out are the following:

• Preparing documents for the acknowledgment of receipt of settlement for each contract.
• Delivering manuals, keys, as built plans, documentation and supplier information, contractors, equipment, guarantees, models and specifications to the client and designated operation personnel.
• The final delivery includes the responsibility of delivering all equipment and systems functioning to perfection and on the date agreed with the client, according to the established work programme
• And more.
