Our working practice employs universally accepted process structures and principles such as ISO 9001:2008, PRINCE 2 and RIBA.
Whether acting independently or as part of a client’s internal team, our offer is always
underpinned by a strong foundation in project programming, cost control and change management.
At the beginning of each Project, we ensure that we understand a client’s brand in depth in order to see things from their perspective. This enables us to adopt a well-informed and straightforward approach, providing imaginative solutions to complex problems.
Working closely with our Architecture and Design colleagues provides us with exceptional insight into the full project process from initial design through to delivery, giving us the knowledge to see a project from a 360 degree viewpoint.
At the very start of a scheme, we support our clients with Cost Management services that continue throughout the development’s lifecycle. From feasibility to detailed cost planning, value engineering and preparation of a final account, our team’s consistent and budget-aware Cost Management service delivers real savings and value, at all stages of a project lifecycle.
Our cost managers place great emphasis on the control of construction costs, which is achieved by the application of their expert understanding of current prices of labour, materials and plant, combined with a strong understanding and appreciation of design objectives and early stage decisions. These collaboratively ensure the delivery of maximum value for our client’s investment.
