Project Management
Experienced leadership. Hands-on delivery.
Successful projects need clear direction, effective decision-making and proactive management.
Our Chartered Project Management team provides experienced leadership throughout the project lifecycle, working alongside clients from early strategy and feasibility through design, procurement, construction and handover.
We take a hands-on approach, bringing together clients, consultants, contractors and stakeholders to maintain momentum, manage risk and keep projects focused on their objectives.
STRATEGY → DESIGN → PROCUREMENT → CONSTRUCTION → HANDOVER
Our Project Management Services
We provide Project Management services tailored to the requirements, scale and stage of each project.
Project Strategy & Brief Development
The decisions made at the beginning of a project can have a significant impact on its successful delivery.
We work with clients to understand their objectives, establish a clear project brief and put the right structure in place before the project progresses.
Our services include:
- Project brief development
- Feasibility and early-stage advice
- Project execution planning
- Consultant team procurement
- Programme development
- Risk identification and management
- Stakeholder strategy
- Procurement advice
Our focus at this stage is on creating clarity around what needs to be achieved, how it will be delivered and where the key risks and decisions lie.
Design & Pre-Construction Management
As a project develops, effective coordination becomes increasingly important.
We lead and coordinate the consultant team, manage information and decision-making, and ensure the developing design remains aligned with the client’s brief, programme and commercial objectives.
Our services include:
- Design team coordination
- Programme management
- Consultant management
- Planning and statutory approvals coordination
- Risk management
- Stakeholder coordination
- Procurement and tender support
- Client reporting and governance
We maintain focus on the decisions and actions needed to move the project forward and identify issues early enough for them to be properly managed.
Construction & Delivery
Maintaining momentum through construction.
Once work begins on site, our role is to provide clear leadership and maintain control of the wider project.
We work closely with the client, contractor and consultant team to monitor progress, coordinate decisions, manage risk and resolve issues as they arise.
Our services include:
- Construction phase Project Management
- Programme monitoring
- Progress meetings and reporting
- Risk and issue management
- Change coordination
- Client and stakeholder management
- Quality and completion monitoring
- Handover planning
We don’t simply report progress. We actively manage the actions, decisions and relationships required to keep the project moving.
Completion & Handover
Successful delivery continues beyond practical completion.
We manage the transition from construction through handover and close-out, helping ensure outstanding matters are resolved and the completed project is ready for occupation and operation.
Our services include:
- Handover coordination
- Practical completion
- Defects management
- Commissioning and operational readiness
- Outstanding information and documentation
- Project close-out
- Post-completion support
Project Management From the Earliest Stage
Early involvement helps create the right foundations.
A Project Manager can add significant value before a design team has been fully appointed or a project brief finalised.
At the early stages of a project, we can help clients establish:
- What the project needs to achieve
- The appropriate consultant team
- A realistic programme
- Key project risks
- Governance and decision-making arrangements
- Procurement strategy
- Stakeholder requirements
- The route from initial concept to delivery
This creates a clear framework for the project before significant time and cost are committed.
More Than Project Reporting
We don’t simply report on projects. We help drive them forward.
Good Project Management is proactive.
It means anticipating what needs to happen next, making sure decisions are taken at the right time, challenging where necessary and maintaining momentum when competing priorities arise.
Our Project Managers become closely involved in the projects we manage, providing clients with clear advice while coordinating the wider team around the project’s objectives.
