Project & Construction

Project & Construction is client-side leadership of a project's delivery: structuring how it's procured, holding programme, cost and quality to account once construction starts, and providing the construction-literate judgement a design team and a contractor are not structurally positioned to provide on the client's behalf.

From the point a project moves from advisory into delivery — setting procurement strategy before contractor and consultant teams are appointed, then continuing through construction as commercial and programme oversight. Project recovery engagements sit outside this sequence: an independent, commercially literate assessment brought in mid-construction when a project already under way needs a clear-eyed view of what has gone wrong.

• Procurement strategy — structuring the right route to market and contract form for the specific risks a project carries, rather than defaulting to whatever was used last time.
• Buildability and design coordination — construction-side review of a design before it reaches tender, catching the details that read correctly on paper and cause problems on site.
• Construction monitoring and commercial oversight — checking that what's happening on site matches what was agreed, and intervening early where it doesn't.
• Pre-construction risk coordination — where a project involves more than one contractor, coordinating the design-stage health and safety planning the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 require, alongside a project's formally appointed CDM Principal Designer where that appointment sits elsewhere.
• Project recovery — independent assessment and intervention on a project already in difficulty, establishing what has actually gone wrong before recommending how to correct course.

• Project Management — the programme, cost and quality discipline this service applies through delivery.
• Technical Due Diligence — technical assessment work that often precedes or runs alongside a construction programme.
• Specialist Consultant Coordination — the wider network this service draws on for engineering, surveying and specialist input.
