This Edition will provide you with an insight into some of the exciting projects VARO Consulting have been involved in throughout 2014.
OUR EXPERTISE Project Management - Design and build construction
VARO Consulting started life as a project consultancy company, however in the last year we have expanded into a consultancy that provides a more diverse range of services to our clients. This has been an extremely busy year for VARO consulting. We have proudly participated in some impressive and innovative construction projects in the uk and Europe. Our reputation continues to grow, as a company that can meet client expectations, retain business, and attract new clients keen to utilise our skills and expertise. We have worked hard in order to position ourselves at the top end of the market attracting many important clients. We have achieved this through our honest and direct approach and our ethos that all problems have attainable solutions.
As project managers, we are responsible for the overall planning, coordination, and control of a project from beginning to completion. Our expertise and skills allow us to become a key team member facilitating the construction process through concept, design, operations and commissioning, liaising with clients, consultants and other professionals in financial and organisational management. For a lump-sum price we can provide our clients with a comprehensive Design and Build package on the basis that we are the main party responsible for undertaking both the design and construction work on a project along with managing the project from inception to completion. By providing Design and Build construction packages we are able to reduce the risk for the client, in terms of cost and time while making the process as convenient as possible.
With an experienced team we have been able to represent both the commercial and residential sectors, providing us with a portfolio of successful projects from both areas. In the commercial sector we were honoured to complete several design and build construction projects; the first shop of its kind in the UK, for our prestigious clients Ulanka, the implantation of MQM in London and the fit out of the first shop for Viandas de Salamanca, to name but a few. Our work in the residential sector is of a extremely high quality, working closely with private owners and developers in affluent areas of London, such as Chelsea and Belgravia. We have created strong relationships with some of the principal providers and suppliers, helping us to provide a high quality service at a very competitive price. We invite you to have a look at our website “www.varoconsulting.com� to discover our new projects and more recent company news.
