Why use our managed process?

Benefits of Our Managed Process

Single Point of Contact – One dedicated team responsible for coordinating design, cost, programme, and delivery from start to finish.

Significant Time Savings – We manage the entire process so you can stay focused on running your business, not a construction project.

Early Cost Certainty – Transparent cost planning and value engineering reduce the risk of late surprises.

Reduced Stress & Risk – We take responsibility for coordination, compliance, and problem-solving at every stage.

Faster Project Delivery – Overlapping design, costing, and procurement avoids the delays common with traditional tender routes.

Aligned Design, Cost & Programme – Decisions are made collaboratively, ensuring buildability and budget alignment from the outset.

Better Value, Not Just Lowest Price – Procurement focuses on quality, reliability, and long-term value rather than headline cost alone.

Clear Accountability – No ambiguity over responsibility; issues are resolved quickly without finger-pointing between consultants and contractors.

The Challenges of Doing It Yourself

Time-Intensive Management – Clients must coordinate architects, consultants, contractors, and statutory bodies themselves.

Multiple Points of Contact – Increased risk of miscommunication, delays, and conflicting advice.

Late Cost Surprises – Design decisions often progress too far before accurate build costs are known.

Longer Programmes – Sequential tender processes can significantly delay project start and completion.

Higher Stress Levels – Managing risks, disputes, and changes often falls back on the client.

Adversarial Relationships – Traditional tender can encourage cost-driven decisions rather than collaboration.

Limited Buildability Input Early On – Contractors are typically engaged too late to influence design efficiency.

Unclear Accountability – Responsibility can become fragmented when problems arise, leading to delays and disputes.
