Balancing Budgets and Deadlines: A Project Manager’s Guide

I’m Tom, a project manager at Stone Edge Construction. Managing a project means balancing client expectations, timelines, and budgets without compromising quality.

Here’s what I focus on:
Risk Management: Identifying potential challenges early so we can plan around them and keep the project on track.

Stakeholder Coordination: Keeping open communication with clients, contractors, and suppliers ensures everyone’s aligned.

Flexible Planning: Projects rarely go exactly as planned — adaptability is key to overcoming unexpected hurdles without blowing the budget.

This approach helps deliver successful projects that meet both financial and quality goals.

One Beverly Hills is expected to open in 2026.

All of this is set around 8-acres of breathtaking botanical gardens that will be planted at the heart of the site. The Beverly Hilton will see extensive upgrades to bring the green of the gardens into the hotel experience. With the driving philosophy of creating the healthiest and future-forward development, the new buildings and gardens of One Beverly Hills are designed to exceed California’s own ambitious sustainability goals.

“At Stone Edge Construction, we provide strategic and practical support across the entire project lifecycle.”

Using collected rainwater and recycled greywater, the extensive One Beverly Hills landscape will be 100% water sustainable. These steps will save millions of gallons of water a year. In an effort to support grid harmonization and safeguard local energy infrastructure, the project is designed with a significant centralized battery storage system, onsite photovoltaic array, and a chilled water thermal energy storage system.
