A building project manager coordinates all aspects of your construction project. This includes scheduling tradespeople, ordering materials, monitoring progress against timelines, managing budgets, ensuring quality standards, liaising with Building Control, and solving problems as they arise. We act as your single point of contact throughout the build.
Professional project management reduces stress, prevents costly mistakes, and keeps your project on track. Without coordination, different trades can conflict, materials arrive late, and quality issues go unnoticed. Our management ensures smooth progression, budget control, and a finished result that meets your expectations.
Project management fees typically range from 10-15% of the construction cost, depending on project complexity. However, effective management often saves more than its cost by preventing delays, avoiding waste, and ensuring quality first time. We provide transparent quotations and can discuss different management options for your budget.
