We have worked with the private and public sector to develop experience in providing both end to end Program and Project Controls nationally.  Our past success ensures we provide a real focus during the pre-construction phase to ensure that often vague scope is developed and the structure of projects and/or programs are clearly thought through, communicated to all key stakeholders and that approvals are received for all aspects of the project program and budget which is supported by a robust project schedule and cost plan.

Our experience within the facilities management and asset management sectors ensures that we have an in depth understanding of the whole of asset life cycle, which often leads to well considered design solutions and the development of the long term maintenance plan.

We are experienced at working with large private, government and local councils to provide cost and delivery efficiency to multiple programs of works. Our highly experienced team provide project and cost management across the whole programme whilst managing the time, cost and quality for individual sites and an ability for access live updates from out cloud based dashboard reporting.

Our experienced team have a proven track record of providing end to end project management services for a wide range and size of projects from capex, new build, refurbishment, seismic projects and fitouts within both the private and public sector.  Based on past success, our project management team understand the critical importance of the pre-construction and planning phase and ensure each project commences with a clearly defined scope, robust budget and project execution plan to ensure a ‘no-surprises’ approach is maintained during the delivery phase.

A critical phase of every project that is often not given the attention it requires.  Based on past successes, we ensure sufficient time is allocated to clearly identifying the needs and scope of the project and obtain approval from all identified key stakeholders before moving into design.  Working with the initial project team, this phase is specifically tailored for each project and presented in a ‘non-construction’ format so that key messages and the project intent are understood.  This avoids Client driven variations during the construction phase, due to lack of understanding when changes are much more costly to make.

From the outset, selecting and bringing together the best design team is critical to teasing out and understanding the client’s needs to establish a robust design brief.  Through the engagement process the project manager will appoint the lead designer to develop and coordinate a collaborative team to deliver a truly successful design.

Whilst we provide a robust process and structure, we believe inspiration, flair and creativity happen when the team also has flexibility to communicate freely to focus on quality design and the project’s needs.

We understand design management is about helping balance creative design and practical decision-making aligning with constraints such as complex legislation, budget constraints, timelines and safety.

We are experienced in developing bespoke contracts for consultants, main contractors and facilities management engagement.  Before commencing contract development, each project, no matter how small, starts with a procurement plan to ensure scope, size, resource availability, location and many other influencing factors are considered.  We also specialise in identifying short falls and potential risks of contracts that can avoid costly variations.

We are a leading independent consultancy with a proven track record of delivering end to end procurements in complex environments.  The team assesses each program of works or project requirements to establish a tailored procurement plan which is then achieved by in-house developed, best in class methodologies and templates to drive positive outcomes.

Our services include:

  • Procurement strategy
  • Category analysis
  • Full RFx documentation
  • Scope development
  • Evaluation frameworks
  • Evaluation and moderation
  • Procurement reporting
  • Implementation and transition

Often overlooked, we know that key stakeholders take many forms, with some of the most critical often not immediately obvious to the project.  Our pre-construction process works closely with the client to identify discrete key stakeholders such as environmental agencies, silent investors, funders, insurers to more obvious stakeholders such as iwi, tenants, neighbours, asset owners and many more.  During project establishment, stakeholder requirements and influence on the project is established to identify delegated authority, hold points and reporting requirements etc.  We know that time spent understanding key stakeholders at the early stages avoids unwanted tension and mitigates potential delays.

Engaged by either the Tenant or the Owner, we provide an independent yet coordinated approach to fit-outs.

Navigating and understanding lease obligations, our understanding of the fit-out design and delivery process will facilitate a high-quality space that will meet or exceed the key stakeholder’s vision.

Often as the project managers delivering the base build project, we have successfully delivered a wide range of ‘Integrated fit-outs’ where we work closely with the building owner and the main contractor to coordinate the fit-out with the base build seamlessly to mitigate any abortive costs and potential delays.
