Building Your Own Facility?
Our natural environment is to adopt the Lead Consultant and Cost Management roles, procure design teams on your behalf and carry out full and thorough project definition, site finding and feasibility studies to seek out optimum solutions that address all of your needs. Our considerable portfolio of projects coupled with our in depth knowledge of traditionally constructed, multi-storey, and modular facilities allow us to provide you with pragmatic options that enhance your business case from cost, value, time, efficiency and risk perspectives. Excellence in design is of little merit without co-ordination, integration, time management and financial management and our team are adept at controlling work stages to build-in value and drive-out risk. We focus on the complete lifecycle of the building and systems to help you make informed decisions that include impacts on staffing levels and operating costs. Capacity flexibility, net to gross ratios, load steps, security layers, energy efficiency, sustainability, resilience, redundancy and maintenance are at the forefront of our management activity. This enables us to constantly challenge design norms to lock-in the required benefits. We have rigorous contractor/supplier selection processes to ensure that the right partners are selected with a focus on teamwork, experience, quality, cost, testing and commissioning. Scoping construction and supplier packages and performing gap analysis to achieve cost, programme and quality certainty provide surety of outcomes and mitigates risk. With experience of both standard and bespoke forms of contract we are able to achieve excellence in the administration of site works. We advance testing and commissioning programmes at key stages ensuring that delivery is controlled, on time, and thoroughly checked. Our communication and reporting is transparent and will inspire confidence in our ability to deliver facilities that will not only meet, but exceed your expectations.

Our development monitoring service has been tailored to provide you with clear, concise and insightful project information to protect your interests and provide a balanced view of the risks and issues on a ‘one-off’ or rolling inspection and report arrangement.

Our simple checklist enables you to confirm the scope of your requirements and to target the areas of highest sensitivity. When facilitated by development agreements we are able to provide full Stakeholder representation duties to challenge the design, construction techniques, quality and conformity with development specifications.
