Construction Management offers superior cost certainty through transparent procurement, early engagement with trade contractors, and collaborative value engineering. Unlike traditional methods, our Construction Management approach maintains cost visibility throughout the project lifecycle, allowing for informed decision-making and budget optimisation. We establish realistic budgets from the outset and implement rigorous cost control measures that provide greater certainty while maintaining flexibility for design development.

One of the most significant advantages of Construction Management is the sophisticated approach to risk management between trade packages. Unlike traditional procurement where risks are often hidden in inflated package prices, the CM approach brings transparency and agility:

The Construction Management approach actively manages disaggregated risks and returns savings to the client, while traditional methods embed hidden risk premiums that remain with the contractor regardless of whether risks materialise.

Construction Management is a collaborative project delivery method where a Construction Manager works as your agent to manage the design and construction process. Unlike traditional procurement routes where a main contractor takes on all risk at a premium, Construction Management directly engages specialist trade contractors through individual packages. This approach eliminates the main contractor's markup, provides greater transparency, enables early contractor involvement, and maintains flexibility throughout the project. The Construction Manager's expertise ensures efficient coordination of all trades while representing your interests throughout the entire process.

Construction Management offers numerous advantages including:

• Cost savings - Elimination of main contractor markup
• Programme efficiency - Parallel working and optimised scheduling
• Enhanced quality - Direct engagement with specialist trade contractors
• Design flexibility - Ability to refine design as the project progresses
• Greater transparency - Clear visibility of costs and risks
• Informed decision-making - Better data for client choices
• Reduced dispute risk - Collaborative approach minimises conflicts

Our clients benefit from having an experienced team representing their interests throughout the project, ensuring their vision is delivered efficiently and effectively.
