Construction Management
We believe it is essential that effective construction management is provided early in the design process so that construction buildability can be optimised at the start of a project. In doing so, we can avoid unnecessary bespoke design and maximise the ability to construct the project.
All too often designers do not have an appreciation of the build requirements from a construction or sequencing perspective, leading to design detailing that either cannot be built or is expensive to construct.
Effective construction management early in the design process has the benefits of:
- Understanding buildability before planning and integrated it into design
- Accurate programme from design to completion
- Understanding of project phasing
- Understanding of site constraints / impacts to be encountered as part of build programme
- Integration of contractor knowledge / experience at an early stage
- Experience of supply chain / market contacts
- Understanding of construction preliminaries costs at early stage
- Greater cost certainty earlier in the scheme development process
