Project Management

What’s project management?

If you’ve ever helped to manage a significant construction initiative, you’ve probably thanked your lucky stars that you had specialist project management professionals on board or wished to goodness that this kind of expertise was available to you.

That’s because project management experts like us manage people and resources in the most effective and efficient ways possible, throughout a development’s creation or refurbishment.

In the former case, for example, we can work from pre-construction to practical completion, covering the design, planning, procurement, execution, commissioning and close-out stages.

In a nutshell, we enable clients to secure better results, including protecting their financial interests, by avoiding expensive onsite delays and being able to complete projects in the shortest possible times.

What do our project managers do?

We manage all aspects of projects or developments for a broad range of residential and commercial clients. From acquisition, through any redevelopment, to final delivery.
Specifically, our project managers’ duties can include:
  • Communicating continuously and clearly with a development’s key players, which include architects, clients, main contractors, sub-contractors and even individual on-site operators, to deliver benefits such as problems being solved quickly and misunderstandings avoided
  • Liaising effectively with relevant outside professionals, including local authority representatives and regulators, in the client’s interests
  • Devising minimised, yet realistic, project budgets, then monitoring spending as developments progress, notifying clients immediately of any issues, such as overspending
  • Providing design compliance checks and full design management assistance
  • Developing onsite work plans and schedules, then overseeing their implementation

What benefits do our project managers deliver?

Our project management experts deliver benefits to clients, including:

  • Enhanced quality control: We ensure materials used are fit for their intended purposes and meet all relevant legal, regulatory and safety requirements
  • Maximised efficiency: Our effective planning, scheduling and supervision ensures onsite operators are always working on the most appropriate jobs and minimises their scope for making mistakes. We therefore optimise the chances of projects being completed in the shortest possible time
  • Minimised cost: We devise cost-effective but achievable budgets and then track spending carefully, thus protecting clients’ overall financial interests
  • Better communication: Misunderstandings between project participants are a frequent cause of problems, delays and unplanned spending in construction. By being at the nerve centre of jobs, our project managers act as effective liaison points between clients and other participants, such as onsite sub-contractors. They ensure that all concerned understand what’s expected of them and that every player is kept informed about project progress

In a nutshell, our project managers make clients’ lives much less stressful than they might otherwise be.

Why should we manage your project?

Our project managers are senior operators with a wealth of knowledge, skills, experience and contacts, not just in net zero building, green technologies and sustainability, but in the construction business overall.
They therefore have everything they need to provide you with a top-class service and are uniquely well-placed to help you build or improve properties in smarter and more sustainable ways.

What’s more, our experts never adopt a “one size fits all” approach, always starting from scratch and managing the individual projects they work on in the most appropriate ways.

Who do we work for?

These flexible approaches mean our band of happy, satisfied project management clients is growing all the time and isn’t confined to domestic or commercial property owners and developers.

We’ve also been delighted to work with organisations such as architectural practices, religious or community groups and charities.

What project types have we tackled?

Examples of projects we’ve managed include:

  • Traditional and listed property renovations
  • Extensions
  • Basement and loft conversions
  • New builds, including timber frames and insulated concrete forms
  • Small to medium scale residential developments
  • Charity and community building projects
  • Office to residential conversions
  • Warehousing, workshops and industrial units
  • Retrofitting commercial and industrial buildings, to achieve net zero carbon targets and ensure their sustainable futures
