As well as representing our client, we will administer the contract and complete all appointments, warranties, and other key legal documents, alongside organising, chairing, and recording meetings / key events.
We are there to support, advise and organise our clients. Depending on the requirement the role will be fulfilled by one of our senior project managers or project surveyors, with backup support from the wider technical team.

As a business, we have invested heavily in training key members of the project management team as principal designers. As members of the APS, Association for Project Safety, we are competent in influencing how risks to health and safety are managed throughout the project.
When appointed as project managers on a scheme, we can extend our appointment to include principal designers where required.

Data Analysis
Our team regularly extract cost information from our current projects based on the contract data, which allows us to highlight trends and gain a clearer picture of projections and averages based on £sq. ft GIA, and provide a percentage breakdown of costs based on the different elements of the build.
With around 8 million sq. ft analysed so far and a combined job value of £0.5 billion, we have provided cost advice on a wide variety of building types ranging from £100k to £100m, and everything in between.
This insight helps our precision with cost analysis by using the real-time data we harvest.

Demonstrating the value for money and environmental impact over the long term is an essential tool our team can offer for those involved in the design, construction, operation, and risk analysis of construction projects.

By being a part of Planet Mark and collating key data on our business, we can access invaluable insight to understand the effect of our carbon footprint and identify critical areas where we can make improvements. From the knowledge we gain, we can make decisions that positively influence our future actions allowing continuous improvements to be made across the business and within our community.
As a company, we are working hard to reduce our footprint, because we know it’s the right thing to do. Our aim is to continue to take proactive steps forward to drive a positive change for both our planet and society to help build a brighter future for all.
Our social value is measured across three main categories:

Our teams have also been tasked with suggesting ideas to support local communities, schools and charities, and so far, we have managed to donate over £7,000 to worthy causes across the country.
