Our capabilities

Project Management

We streamline construction contracts with a clear, practical approach, focusing on aligning the project team’s strengths to deliver success. By effectively managing key variables – time, cost, quality, market forces, legislation, and competition – we ensure contractor procurement supports project goals without compromising efficiency or outcomes.

Project example:
Sovereign Quay, Leeds

We offer an integrated cost and project management service under a single Employer’s Agent role, providing clients with a cost-effective, streamlined solution and a single point of accountability. This fully tailored service is designed to meet each client’s unique needs and expectations, ensuring seamless project delivery.

Project example:

We provide comprehensive CDM Co-ordinator services in line with The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2015.

We also offer workplace health and safety advice and conduct detailed reviews to ensure compliance and best practices.

We provide customised commercial support for contractors, covering every stage of a project. Our services include tendering, subcontractor procurement, and on-site representation. Whether managing entire projects from start to finish or delivering builder’s quantities for materials and subcontract orders.

On-site, we handle valuations, manage changes, and ensure cost transparency for clients. We also offer expert advice on contracts and practical support for resolving disputes, ensuring smooth and successful project delivery.

We provide thorough project reviews and monitoring services for banking and funding institutions, ensuring every engagement is led by an experienced project director. This approach guarantees that our cost and project management expertise is applied consistently throughout, reflecting our commitment to delivering high-quality, professional service without reliance on junior staff.

Construction disputes can be costly and time-consuming, but they are often preventable with proactive management. We collaborate closely with clients and project teams to identify and minimise risks early. If disputes do arise, we safeguard our clients’ interests with tailored services, including contract reviews, risk assessments, mediation, expert witness support, legal assistance, and programme delay analysis.
