PlaNning & Building Your Vision

The cost to professionally manage your construction project depends on on number of critical factors such as;

• The Size and Complexity of the Project
• Who is the Team and how Organised the Project is at the Point of Instruction
• The Time Constraints of the Project Development and Construction Phase
• The Quality of Works Required and Monitoring Requirements 
• The Total Project and Construction Budget and Viability 
• What Specific Tasks you would like us to undertake and with Who

The most important part of the project is establishing a client brief and putting together a reliable and committed delivery team.  To be successful Projects need good foundations to start with!

What we do as standard and free of charge on single unit developments is to assess the land location and viability to develop, to gain and understand the client brief, look at any construction information already prepared, put together a schedule of necessary and suitably qualified and experienced professionals, produce a overall global project budget, likely programme for both the planning and the construction work phases, carry out due diligence.

Project Management can vary in cost anything between 5 & 15% of a realistic project budget subject to scope of work, quality and time constraints.  Talk to us about accurate costs for your specific project as no two projects are the same!
