Team Leader
A good project manager is a team leader,
bringing together and understanding the many disciplines that are needed to complete a project successfully.
Our team is lead by a Chartered Civil Engineer with 30 years experience in building projects.
What we do
We are capable of tackling most types of projects. Where necessary we work with a team of professionals which gives us capability whatever the size or the complexity of the job.
And of course we take health and safety very seriously.
There are many aspects to a building project and we can either guide you from start to finish or help with a particular aspect.
For any project you will need to
- Choose and then manage the design team
- Make sure the design does not stray from the brief and that it is
buildable for a sensible price
- Guide the project through the planning permission process
- Prepare a specification for the work (i.e. list all the
work you want carried out and how you would like
it done)
- Prepare a full bill of quantities (a quantified list of the works) and with this obtain comparable quotations for the works
- Prepare and agree formal contracts with the successful contractors
- Manage the timing and the quality of the works
- Ensure the works are carried out in accordance with the building regulations and the health and safety laws
- Carry out the final inspection to ensure total satisfaction with the project before accepting and making the final payment for the work.
Your building may be listed or just old, and you want to keep it that way.
We can give the special guidance necessary to enable it to be restored and preserved whilst adapting it for a modernway of living.
We have 25 years in the sympathetic restoration of Historic Buildings.
