Data centres

New build halls, expansions and upgrades, with the close coordination of power, cooling and commissioning these projects demand.

Residential

Housing developments, apartment blocks and build-to-rent, from planning through to handover of the final plot.

Modular construction

Off-site manufactured buildings, where factory schedules, logistics and site installation have to line up exactly.

Civil engineering

Infrastructure, highways, utilities and enabling works, managed with the stakeholder and safety focus they need.

Commercial

Offices, retail, hotels and mixed-use schemes, including fit-out and refurbishment in occupied buildings.

Five sectors, one way of working

Each sector has its own pressures. Our approach stays the same: clear reporting, tight control of cost and programme, and a single point of accountability for the client.

The controls behind every project we run

Large, complex projects succeed on discipline. These are the controls our team has used on projects up to £1 billion, applied at the right scale to yours.

Programme

Critical path programmes, look-aheads and progress tracking against baseline, so slippage is spotted in days, not months.

Cost

Budget setting, cost reporting and forecasting through to final account, with every change priced and approved before it is built.

Risk

Live risk and opportunity registers reviewed with the project team, with owners and actions, not just a list.

Contracts

Advice on procurement routes and administration of JCT and NEC contracts, keeping notices and change on the record.

Health and safety

Oversight of CDM 2015 duties and site safety standards, so everyone goes home safe.

Quality and commissioning

Inspection, testing and commissioning plans that make sure the building works on day one.
