Home — Services — Turnkey & Project Management

Drawn well, then
built the same way.

Tendering, vendor curation, quality audits, billing checks and weekly reporting — the unglamorous half that decides whether a good design survives construction.

Design failures are visible and rare. Execution failures are invisible and common: the wrong grade of ply inside a wardrobe, a slab level that drifts by an inch, a waterproofing layer skipped because the rain stopped, a bill certified for work that is only ninety per cent done.

Project management exists to catch those before they are buried. It is the difference between a drawing set and a building.

What the service covers

Tendering

Scope written so quotes are comparable, and a bid analysis that explains what each number actually includes.

Vendor curation

Contractors and fabricators matched to the job — the best joinery workshop is rarely the best civil contractor.

Quality audits

Scheduled site checks against the drawings and specification, recorded with photographs.

Billing verification

Measurement checks before certification, so payment follows completed work.

Programme and reporting

A live schedule and a weekly written report: what moved, what is stuck, what decision is needed from you.

Handover

Snag lists chased to closure, warranties and as-built drawings collected.

Turnkey, or supervision?

In a turnkey engagement we carry the execution and hand over a finished space. In a supervision engagement you hold the contracts and we protect the quality against the drawings. Turnkey buys you time; supervision buys you transparency on cost. We are happy either way, and we will tell you which suits your situation when we understand your appetite for site involvement.

Why the reporting matters

A weekly written record changes the conversation. Disputes on site are almost always disputes about what was agreed and when. A dated report with photographs settles them in minutes, and its existence tends to prevent them.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can you manage a project you did not design?
Yes, provided the drawing set is complete enough to manage against. If it is not, we will say what is missing before taking it on.
How is project management charged?
Usually a percentage of project cost or a monthly retainer for the construction period. Which one is fairer depends on the project's length and value, and we will explain the difference rather than simply quoting one.
Do you guarantee the contractor's work?
No — the contractor warrants their work, and we make sure that warranty is real and documented. What we are accountable for is catching what should have been caught.
What happens if the project is delayed?
Delays get reported the week they appear, with the cause and the options. The worst outcome is a delay nobody was told about until it was unrecoverable.
