Air-Con Installation Project Manager

Core Mission

An HVAC Project Manager delivers cooling systems on time, within budget, and up to engineering code by coordinating clients, engineers, and site installers.

📋 Phase-by-Phase Responsibilities

1. Design & Procurement

• Verify Calculations: Check thermal heat load requirements against equipment specs.
• Survey Sites: Map out pipe routing, core-drilling, and electrical capacity.
• Source Gear: Order long-lead units (VRF, chillers) to prevent site delays.

2. On-Site Installation

• Manage Trades: Coordinate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installers daily.
• Protect Structures: Scan for structural rebar before drilling pipe holes.
• Sequence Work: Install hidden ducting and piping before ceilings are sealed.

3. Quality & Testing

• Pressure Test: Witness mandatory 24-hour nitrogen leak tests at 550 PSI.
• Check Drainage: Verify a 1:100 downhill slope on drain lines to prevent leaks.
• Enforce Safety: Oversee high-risk tasks like copper brazing and roof work.

4. Budget & Handover

• Track Costs: Approve contractor progress claims and manage variation orders.
• Test Performance: Confirm system achieves the target 8°C–12°C cooling differential.
• Deliver Manuals: Hand over as-built blueprints, warranties, and maintenance logs.
