Building project management

Our building & construction project management service is quickly becoming highly sought after with our clients in Gloucestershire who simply wish for an experienced professional to take control and run the project on their behalf.

After you have received your architectural design services, the final step in bringing your project to life is with the build itself, which you can of course do yourself, or utilise the expertise of construction and building project management services like our own. Managing the project is essentially where you’ll need to select your builder, carry out the work, deal with payment and any issues, and ultimately make sure the entire project is built to a standard you’re happy with. It’s a lot of work to take on.

The CK Architectural project management service is designed for that exact reason, to help you deal with all of the stresses that come along with project management, and to ultimately offer you the benefits only experts can, like:

  • Reducing Costing Without Disputes or Confusion
  • Minimising Contact Time
  • Improving Contract Efficiency
  • Advanced Communication Benefits
  • Providing Full Control and Access to Expertise

We work with you in every area of the project, making sure that you’re always up to date on every aspect of the build, maintaining a constant level of control over each specific detail, ensuring you get the best service possible.

The main goals of project management are controlling and organising

  • Programme
  • Cost
  • Payment control
  • Build quality
  • Ensure required compliances

Our Building Project Management role starts once the project has achieved planning and building regulations approval from the relevant council party. (Stages 5-7 of the RIBA Plan of Works) We are able to start this role whether your planning/building regulation drawings were completed by ourselves or by another company.

Delivery of the agreed programme cost and quality to the agreed scope of works are vital to a successful project, and we provide the following items which assist in achieving the objectives.

Project being built

Construction drawings

In addition to the design, planning and regulations drawings that we provide, builders may also require further construction drawings to help them identify the finer details of the construction. That ranges from fixtures and fittings, switches, additions, and any other specific project requirements like exclusions too.

Schedule of works

Working with the builder to create clear, accurate and realistic time frames is also another challenge of the project. We create a schedule of works that can be used as a general guideline throughout the entire build. This keeps both you and the builder in the loop about the expected progress of the build, and any issues that may arise too.

From basic design to full project management,  you can tailor your service to you

Tendering

We work with you to select and vet the right builder for the job, looking at their previous project experience, reviews, pricing, and using our own recommendations and experience to give you all of the information you need.

Contract administration

Both you and the builder are protected by contractual agreements, that outline the requirements of the project, working conditions, and any other details of the job. That also includes the builder’s specific information such as quotations, insurance, and other areas of their profession. Having this contract to the highest standard, signed by both parties, means you’re both protected and recorded in relation to legal requirements and obligations.

Site inspections

As the project progresses, we will visit the site fortnightly throughout our management, ensuring everything is moving accordingly, receiving status updates, and dealing with any issues should they arise from both you and the builder. We can voice any concerns you may have for you, without any added hassle or worry.

The complete building project management role is ensuring your property is handed back to you and is ready for use. To ensure the build is complete, we coordinate the handover process checking all the statutory requirements have been fulfilled and signed-off, check receipt of all required test certificates, inspect the build to make sure it is as per the drawings and specifications, and, if not, issue a snagging list which identify the items be rectified. As part of the contractual process we set up a defects period to follow the handover. This allows the final stage payment to the builder to be made 3 months after the build is complete (default 3 months in the JCT Home Owner Contract) and is not paid until all defects during this period are rectified and signed off.

Project Management can bring many benefits to your build which include saving you time, stress and money. We can achieve this as we bring to the project:

  • Our expertise and experience
  • Become a single point of contact for the build.
  • Improve the efficiency of the project
  • Ensure good communication throughout the project
  • Control costs, programme and quality.

Our fee for project management is based upon time during the project but as guidance it is approximately 5% of the build cost.
