As cost manager, the earlier we are involved the better!
We love to get under the skin of a project providing you with commercial support “from the trenches”.
Our approach calls for project solutions that are developed around budgets rather than just costing designs, safeguarding the important issue of affordability for our clients. So many projects start with fantastic visual temptations, but once costed, are often value engineered into a shadow of their former glory all because budget parameters are not defined or understood properly.
We make sure that’s avoided by adopting a realistic approach to estimates and addressing difficult issues right from the beginning, instead of kicking the can down the road. A cost plan filled with exclusions is simply not worth the paper it’s written on!
By providing guidance on procurement and contract selection, utilising informed market intelligence, assessing risks, and conducting thorough due diligence on direct costs, we ensure that the right decisions are made at the right times.
Our project managers are relentless in driving a project forward and for us, regardless of size, the same rules apply. By blending established project management models with our own unique set of tools and road maps, we get you to where you want to be.
We use the “project management triangle” to manage the three key constraints that affect the quality of a project -scope, time and budget. We know that if one constraint is impacted, we will need to adjust one or both of the others in order to maintain quality and stay on track. But that’s not what makes us different from everybody else.
Drawing from our experiences, we’ve developed our own simple yet detailed project reporting process that deals with issues as they come up, avoiding any need for standoff at the end.
Our experienced PMs are up for any challenge and are accountable for making sure your project is delivered safe and sound.
As programme managers we cover it all. We sit in the helicopter overseeing the wider picture to make sure we have every base covered, drop down into the tanks to get into the ‘nitty gritty’ of how and what needs to be done and deal with any issue in real time.
We manage day to day delivery teams and ensure that they do what they should be doing, in line with governance structures and defined roles and responsibilities.
Ultimately, whatever your requirement, we make sure it gets delivered and that it’s delivered well.
