Spring’s Project Managers come with real-life experience of managing and delivering all types of construction projects. We believe that the Project Manager should not be just an information post box, but should add real management value to the process, drawing on sound commercial, contractual and practical construction experience combined with effective organisational and management practices. Our aim is to successfully deliver the project brief in a collaborative, non-confrontational way that benefits from the collective input of the entire team. Our planned and structured approach establishes critical issues, risks and goals. We proactively monitor, manage and influence the outcome of your project, tailoring strategies to reflect the size, complexity and nature of the scheme with a view to a successful and predictable outcome.
Project Management
Spring’s aim is to become an integral member of every client’s team. As such, we offer the following services that can be matched to the level of direct involvement and control that is appropriate for you:
- Establishing goals and objectives that can be developed into a brief for the project
- Managing enabling activities such as appraisals and feasibility studies etc.
- Establishing project parameters for criteria such as budget, programme and design
- Providing advice on contractual arrangements and procurement methods
- Advising on and managing the selection of team members, through to schedules of services and terms of appointment
- Implementing project plans to reflect the brief
- Monitoring and managing the project through to completion, keeping the client fully informed with periodic reports as work progresses
After establishing a thorough brief we identify issues, risks, objectives and monitoring criteria to ensure that your project plan contains appropriate strategies for a successful outcome.
Every programme is broken down into graspable sections that can be readily comprehended and managed. Short-term plans are then established for the purpose of detailed management and interim reporting. Realistic, independent and effective monitoring of key matters is essential to enable those concerned to make informed decisions and instigate corrective action where necessary.
Project Monitoring
For clients who do not have direct control over the management and execution of a project but have a vested interest in its completion, our monitoring service can be invaluable to funders, investors, tenants, purchasers and other stakeholders who require independent reports to protect their interests.
Clients often benefit from reviews of contractual arrangements and project appraisals, together with the identification of key issues and potential risks. This can be followed by the monitoring of matters such as progress, funding expenditure, quality, and contract compliance, which can be achieved through site visits and attendance at site or other meetings.
Construction Management
Certain clients may decide to be directly involved with the construction work without employing a general builder or main contractor. This happens frequently in the residential self-build market and also on occasion in the commercial world. Under the right circumstances this route can save money and give the client more control over the
project. However, if not managed correctly, it can also lead to problems which increase costs and drain valuable management time and energy. For clients who wish to follow this path we offer a list of construction management services that is designed to help you smoothly and safely through the process:
- Project appraisal and feasibility studies including budget and design
- Programme and cost planning.
- Building control, planning approvals, health and safety, statutory requirements
- Contractual documentation and designers appointments
- Trade packages
- Subcontract and material enquiries, tenders and orders.
- Credit lines and payment for goods and services
- Site management
- Stage and final completion certificates, warranties.
Every scheme can benefit from effective Project Management. If you are in the process of conceiving a project, or even if you have a contract in progress, why not contact us to discuss your requirements?
