Construction Project Management


The delivery success of projects is never bricks and mortar. It is a complex process of diverse variables, divergent interests, and various risks that must remain tightly under control. It is for this very reason that our construction project management service is built upon discipline, definition, and command, ensuring your investment is protected and your goals achieved in totality.

We provide services to clients throughout the North West and beyond, offering bespoke project management planning solutions for schemes of any size and complexity. If you're looking to plan a new build, refurbishment, fit-out, extension, or complete redevelopment, our experienced team of construction project managers will guide every step of the construction process with assurance and professionalism.

Why Construction Management Matters

Good construction project planning is the distinction between a seamless delivery and an expensive, time-consuming ordeal. Construction projects are exposed to rigorous regulations, tight deadlines, variable costs, and multiple third parties. Left without professional advice and management, even a modest-sized project can run into delays, additional costs, or compliance issues.

By hiring a professional construction manager, you get more than a person who will watch over progress; you get a representative you can trust to make sure that all the parties working on the project are aligned with your objectives and that decisions are made in your best interest.

Our construction experts are the communications hub of your project, making sure that decisions are made expeditiously and that risks are caught and dealt with before they become issues. This proactive methodology minimises stress, saves funds, and ultimately brings your project to a successful completion.

Who We Work With

Our construction management software supports clients from both the private and public sectors. We have extensive experience working with:

Commercial landlords and developers

  • Office and industrial occupiers

  • Retail operators and hospitality brands

  • Local authorities and education trusts

  • Healthcare providers and charities

  • Pension funds and investment groups

We recognise that each client has individual drivers. These can be speed to market, cost certainty, sustainability, regulatory compliance, or quality of design. We make time to learn these priorities at the beginning so that our project delivery method is focused on your objectives from day one.

Our Role in Your Project

As construction managers, we are responsible for the overall coordination, control, and delivery of your project. We act as your eyes and ears on the construction site and as your professional adviser throughout the journey.

Our responsibilities typically include:

  • Defining and agreeing on the project brief and strategy

  • Appointing and managing the design and consultant team

  • Preparing a master programme of works and tracking progress

  • Managing the procurement and tendering of contractors

  • Monitoring and controlling project budget and costs

  • Leading project meetings and ensuring effective communication

  • Overseeing health and safety compliance and risk management

  • Managing quality control and site inspections

  • Ensuring smooth handover and aftercare

We believe that a strong project team, consisting of dedicated professionals across disciplines, is essential for smooth execution. This collaborative approach reduces risks and ensures outcomes align with your strategic goals.

A Collaborative and Transparent Approach

We believe that collaboration is central to project delivery management. We build positive relationships with construction crews, consultants, and stakeholders to promote openness and teamwork throughout the project life cycle.

We provide clear and concise reporting, giving you full visibility of progress, risks, and budget at every stage. This allows you to make informed decisions without being overwhelmed by technical knowledge or jargon. Our role is to make the process manageable and understandable, not to overcomplicate it.

We also understand the importance of accountability. We take full ownership of our role and ensure that all project stakeholders are held to their responsibilities. If problems arise, we address them head-on with pragmatic and timely solutions.

Tailored Services for a Range of Projects

No two projects in the construction industry are identical. That is why we do not offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Rather, we mould our services to fit your particular goals, limitations, and organisational structure.

We can assist you at any phase, from initial feasibility to after-completion review.

Our service offering includes:

  • We assist you in determining the feasibility of your project prior to any commitment. This involves scrutinising budgets, planning needs, design development, procurement options, and programme implications. We compile feasibility studies and risk analysis to guide your investment decision.

  • We develop and operate detailed programmes that accurately represent the actual timescales of your project. We highlight important project milestones and monitor critical paths. We also recommend the most appropriate procurement route and operate the competitive tendering process to achieve quality and value.

  • We serve as the Employer's Agent or Contract Administrator under your selected form of contract, making sure that everyone fulfils their contractual responsibilities. We provide instructions, determine variations, handle valuations, and keep track of progress.

  • We liaise closely with your quantity surveyor or cost consultant to track budgets and to spot cost risks at an early stage. We make sure that variations are correctly evaluated and that final accounts are resolved quickly and reasonably to reduce extra costs. Our strategic focus on project finance ensures financial discipline throughout the development.

  • We conduct periodic site inspections and manage snagging and defect resolution. We oversee adherence to building regulations, planning conditions, and any client-specific technical stipulations. Quality management is at the hub of our process.

  • We coordinate regular meetings and serve as the central point of contact for everyone involved. We keep stakeholders informed, engaged, and on the same page at all times. We also assist with communications to third parties like local authorities, neighbours, and international students, if required.

Navigating Common Construction and Project Management Challenges

Even with the best preparation, infrastructure and building projects are not without their challenges. Our job is to anticipate these issues and deal with them swiftly and professionally when they arise.

Some common project challenges we help navigate include:

  • Managing unexpected cost increases due to market conditions or design changes

  • Dealing with planning or regulatory delays

  • Handling disputes between contractors or consultants

  • Coordinating multiple phases of work in occupied premises

  • Mitigating delays caused by supply chain shortages or weather impacts

  • Addressing construction manager acts or compliance issues

  • Responding to unforeseen ground conditions or technical obstacles

Our group provides the experience, foresight, and steady command to address these problems without momentum loss. Good strategic management is not only about maintaining control when all goes according to plan; it's about staying in charge when things don't.
