We have acted as Project Managers on behalf of the Severn Trent group company, Biffa Waste Services Ltd at several of their depots and transfer stations throughout Central and South East England. These various projects have been of varying sizes and complexities.

 

A recent project of ours was for Liebherr Great Britain where we identified and negotiated the purchase of a 10 acre site in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire for Liebherr's new £10Million UK Headquarters. Our services included working closely with the project Architect to facilitate a difficult planning situation where we successfully liaised with Planners and Local Councillors to achieve a planning approval acceptable to Liebherr.

 

In an ever changing market, effective management of the construction process is vital in order to achieve the required specification and quality, delivery on time and adherence to budget.

We can offer you the following range of services:

 

Project Co-ordination

The Practice will act as a single point of contact to the Client, by managing the design and construction process and employing other consultants if required.

 

Construction Management

Advising on the appointment, co-ordination and direct employment of individual specialist contractors, thus saving both time and the overheads of the main contractor.

 

Employer's Agent

Acting as the Client's Agent on a design and build contract and advising at all stages of a project on cost control and construction proposals.

 

Development Monitoring

Advising and appraising the quality and adequacy of design and construction on projects for funding bodies, developers and tenants.

 

In order to satisfy Clients' requirements we have become inter-disciplinary. Whilst the core disciplines of project and property management remain, individuals have developed their own specialisations of dispute resolution, access consultancy and facilities management. These are further backed up by specialist in health and safety, architectural design and structural engineering. There is a cross section of disciplines across all levels of personnel.

 

Our services are provided in a manner which normally avoids disputes but we can assist with advice or in negotiations with matters that have arisen on other projects and act as a Party's Representative.

 

We have therefore assembled a team of specialists who offer a number of general and specific skills applicable to construction projects from initial conception through all phases ending with the turning of the key and switching on the lights in a new ready to go building complex. We also have a number of CAD technicians, draughtsman and utilise the very latest in IT systems. We maintain full professional indemnity insurance for the benefit and peace of mind of our clients.

We are quite happy to look at any project for which a Client may consider us whether our involvement be for the entire project or for selected elements.

 

We are also experienced in property acquisition and disposal and will provide whatever level of input is required into these and other levels of property matters.
