What does this cover?

Our expertise extends to producing Bills of Quantities, managing tender processes, and facilitating connections with key partners to bring your project to fruition.

Project cost planning

We specialise in producing detailed, accurate, and market-tested project cost plans. These allow project stakeholders to make commercially informed decisions for better outcomes. Our cost plans are presented in various formats to facilitate discussions with development finance providers.

Bill of quantites and tender management

Once your project has secured planning permission and passed viability checks, our team will produce a fully measured Bill of Quantities. We then manage the tender process, leveraging our extensive local supply-chain contacts to ensure competitive pricing.

Project partner co-ordination

We work closely with a network of partners to help advance your project to the next stage. Our collaborations include planning consultants, architects, engineers, surveyors, and development finance companies, ensuring a comprehensive approach to your project's needs.

Our proven process

Let us help turn your construction ideas into reality

Consultation and Feasibility

We begin by understanding your project goals and conducting a feasibility study. This includes a viability report and a detailed cost plan to ensure your project is financially sound.

Design and Planning

We collaborate with you to develop detailed designs and plans. Our team produces a Bill of Quantities (schedule of works) to outline the scope and cost of the project.

Pre-Construction Management

We manage the pre-construction phase, identifying potential risks and cost-saving opportunities. Our experience in tender appraisals and budget cost plans ensures that your project is set up for success.

Construction Management

Our team leverage their extensive experience to oversee the construction phase, ensuring quality control, adherence to health and safety legal requirements, and effective cost management. Their firsthand knowledge of large main contractor operations provides invaluable insights and advantages to our clients.

Completion and Handover

We ensure that every aspect of the project is completed to the highest standards before handing it over to you. Our goal is to make the building process smooth and stress-free, leaving you with a finished product that exceeds your expectations.

Common questions about property development in Lincolnshire

Whether you're an experienced developer or considering your first project, here are some of the questions we're often asked about development support in Lincolnshire.
How can Build Manager help with my development project in Lincolnshire?

We support developers and landowners across Lincolnshire from initial concept through to completed development. This includes site appraisals, viability assessments, cost planning, securing development finance, managing the planning process, and delivering the construction phase. Whether you're an experienced developer or new to property development, we can tailor our involvement to suit your needs.

What is a development appraisal?

A development appraisal assesses whether a potential project is financially viable. We analyse all the costs involved — land, construction, professional fees, finance, and sales — against the expected end values to determine the likely profit margin. This helps you make informed decisions about whether to proceed with a site in Lincolnshire before committing significant funds.

Do you help secure development finance?

Yes. We have relationships with development finance providers across the market and can introduce you to lenders suited to your project. We prepare cost reports in the format lenders require, support you through due diligence, and help structure your scheme to meet lending criteria. Getting finance in place early is essential for projects in Lincolnshire and beyond. Our team are also experienced in securing Homes England funding for market sale or social housing schemes in Lincolnshire.

Can you help me find development land in Lincolnshire?

While we don't act as land agents, we can help you assess potential sites and identify opportunities. Our knowledge of construction costs and local planning policies in Lincolnshire means we can quickly evaluate whether a site is likely to be viable before you commit to due diligence or make an offer.

What's the difference between using Build Manager and going direct to a main contractor?

When you engage us at the development stage, we're working for you — not a contractor. We can prepare detailed cost plans, run competitive tenders with our supply-chain, and negotiate with contractors on your behalf. If you then choose to use us as your main contractor for the build phase, you benefit from a seamless transition and a team that already understands your project inside out.
