As Project Managers we are able to take projects from inception to completion. We are experienced in all stages of construction project management from developing the Client brief, through selecting, appointing and managing the professional team, design management, planning, tender and construction – all the time managing risk, cost and programme on behalf of our Clients.
Feasibility Studies are undertaken on both new build and refurbishment projects and can be tailored to suit the requirements of the Client. The contents could consider site appraisal and acquisition advice, the viability of a development, presenting a series of options demonstrating capital expenditure and whole life costings, highlight significant risks and make recommendations. With all feasibility studies we aim to strike the right balance between the cost of the study and the level of detail needed to provide reassurance for investment. Our reports always aim to be clear, concise and focused on commercial reality.
We have gained experience in administrating many forms of contracts over the years including JCT, NEC, ICE and Fidic. Having a thorough understanding of contract law and construction, we are well placed in issuing instructions and managing extensions of time, payment certificates and final completion documents.
We are typically appointed for the role of Employers Agent as a follow-on commission from earlier involvement as Project Managers; however we also take on this role as a separate commission. When doing so we ensure a thorough understanding of the Client’s objectives, design and contract terms at the outset; and provide open but firm management of the chosen Contractor.
Throughout a project the entire process is reviewed, eliminating risk as a scheme develops and reporting changes to the Client. Whether quantitative or qualitative, we manage the risk process by Identification of risk, Assessment and Application of mitigating factors, implement, monitor and review the management arrangements
Using Microsoft Project we can create and monitor project timescales and sequencing of works ensuring critical path activities are delivered efficiently and effectively.
It is fundamental to deal efficiently and effectively in managing defects. This period often leaves the Client with the lasting impression of your performance. Having an eye for detail, logging all relevant detail and considering how the Client will use a development on completion is imperative. Regularly monitoring and recording of snagging items in the run up to final completion remains in all parties interest mitigating for disruptive works during the rectification period.
