Construction Management, Procurement & Delivery
for Real Estate Development
We provide client-side construction management services from procurement and contractor tender through to delivery and completion.
​
Our role begins with defining procurement strategy, structuring building contracts, and leading the tender process - ensuring that each project is correctly positioned before works commence on site.
​
We then manage the construction phase in full, maintaining control over programme, cost, quality, and contract performance through to completion and handover.
Procurement Strategy & Contractor Tender
We define the most appropriate procurement strategy for each development, whether through a main contractor, construction management approach, or client direct trade procurement.
​
We lead the contractor tender process, including preparation of tender documentation, evaluation of returns, and negotiation of commercial and contractual terms - ensuring clarity, competitiveness, and alignment with the project objectives.
Building Contracts & Commercial Structure
We structure and review building contracts to ensure that scope, responsibilities, programme obligations, and commercial terms are clearly defined.
​
This establishes a robust contractual framework that protects the client’s position and supports efficient and controlled delivery throughout the construction phase.
Programme Management & Delivery
We develop and manage detailed construction programmes, breaking down all activities to ensure efficient sequencing and coordination across all trades.
​
Leveraging experience from managing over 1.5 million m² of construction, we maintain continuous control through site inspections, progress meetings, and design coordination - tracking performance against programme, quality standards, regulatory requirements, and Health & Safety obligations.
​
This is supported by structured reporting and financial tracking, including valuation of completed works, milestone payments, and alignment with contractual obligations.
Commercial Management, Payment Strategy & Cost Control
We manage the full commercial aspects of the project across both design and construction stages, ensuring that financial decisions support efficient delivery and long-term viability.
We define and implement payment strategies for all project stakeholders, including; contractors, consultants, and suppliers - tailoring structures to suit the project’s requirements. These may include milestone-based payments, monthly valuations based on progress, or alternative mechanisms such as Letters of Intent and vesting arrangements.
​
We assess and certify payments throughout the construction phase, ensuring that all payment releases are aligned with actual progress, contractual obligations, and agreed commercial terms.
​
Cost management is maintained continuously throughout the design development stages - where the most critical financial decisions are made. By aligning design with budget, buildability, and programme constraints early on, we prevent non-viable solutions, avoid abortive work, and secure significant cost efficiencies before construction begins.
Contract Variations & Change Management
Post-contract changes to the design are carefully managed to ensure full control over their commercial and programme impact.
​
We assess all proposed variations in detail, considering cost, programme, and quality implications, and coordinate with all project stakeholders to establish their validity and necessity.
​
​
All variations are communicated clearly to the client, ensuring full understanding of their impact before approval, and are managed through a structured process to maintain control over scope, cost, and delivery.
Quality Control & Design Delivery
We ensure that construction is delivered in accordance with the approved design, specifications, and required standards.
​
Through detailed review of drawings, specifications, and on-site works, we prevent discrepancies between design and construction. Thus, protecting the integrity, performance, and value of the development.
​
'Best Development in the world', 'Top 10 best new Hotels in the world', 'Best Residential scheme in England ', 'Best Leisure scheme in the UK', 'Merit award for excellence in international urban design', 'Coolest place in London', 'the most unique hotel in London, best hotel bar and the most glamours retail store in the world, .... These are just some of the recognitions our clients received on projects we managed. Care to be next?
Risk Management & Construction Control
We provide comprehensive Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) to identify, evaluate, and manage all potential risks throughout the development lifecycle.
From acquisition and planning through to construction, handover, and operation, we assess technical, commercial, programme, and site-related risks - ensuring that all scenarios are considered and appropriately mitigated.
​
These assessments are integrated into the construction process, supporting informed decision-making, structured delivery, and proactive risk mitigation at every stage of the project.
Health & Safety Management
Working on complex construction sites has taught us that safety cannot rely on a single measure - it must be cultivated through multiple layers, much like a safety net, where each layer is designed to prevent a fall.
We are committed to ensuring that all site personnel return safely to their families at the end of each working day, recognising the responsibility that comes with managing construction activities and the real consequences of decisions made on site.
​
To support this, we provide our clients with detailed reporting on all Health & Safety matters, highlighting potential risk scenarios together with clear mitigation measures.
​
Through continuous site involvement, coordination with contractors, and structured management of Health & Safety procedures, we ensure that these layers of protection are properly implemented, maintained, and enforced throughout the construction process.
Phasing & Logistics
We develop detailed phasing and logistics strategies based on site constraints, access requirements, and project complexity.
​
Through careful due diligence, we identify potential restrictions and design appropriate sequencing of works, site setup, and material flow - ensuring efficient coordination between trades and project stages.
​
This structured approach minimises delays, reduces disruption, and mitigates risks associated with site operations, particularly on constrained or complex developments.
Value Engineering
Value Engineering is applied throughout both the design and construction stages to optimise cost without compromising quality or design intent.
We review technical solutions, materials, and construction methods to identify opportunities for efficiency, improved buildability, and cost reduction.
​
By implementing Value Engineering at the appropriate stages - particularly during design development — we ensure that cost savings are achieved proactively, rather than reactively during construction.
Technical Procurement & Materials Strategy
We advise on the selection and procurement of materials, systems, and construction technologies, ensuring compatibility with design, performance requirements, and budget.
​
Our knowledge of advanced materials and construction systems allows us to support informed decision-making, balancing durability, cost efficiency, buildability, and long-term operational performance.
​
We coordinate procurement strategies to ensure that all products and materials are sourced appropriately, aligned with programme requirements, and delivered to the required quality standards.
Completion, Commissioning & Handover
We manage the final stages of construction through to practical completion, including testing, commissioning, and formal handover.
​
This includes coordination of all stakeholders to ensure that systems are fully operational, documentation is complete, and all contractual obligations have been satisfied.
​
We ensure that the development is delivered in accordance with the agreed scope, quality standards, and performance requirements - ready for occupation and operation.
Our Design and Construction expertise can guide our clients and assist them from the very early stages of concept design, advising on Practicality, Durability, Efficiency, Build-ability, Maintenance, Cost and Programme implications throughout the stages of design and construction.
By doing so, we can minimise the project risk, cost and programme, all whilst ensuring our clients do not compromise on their design decisions and their final vision.
