• Procurement: choosing the right procurement model, tendering, evaluating bids and negotiating contracts
• Consents: coordinating resource and building consent applications and council requirements
• Construction: monitoring progress, quality and safety, and managing variations and claims
• Cost control: tracking spend against budget, forecasting final cost and protecting contingency
• Handover: practical completion, defects, code compliance certificate and operations handover

FAQS

Why hire an independent project manager instead of relying on the builder? 

The builder's project manager works for the builder. An independent project manager works only for you: checking costs, quality and progress, and protecting your position on variations and claims.

What does a construction project manager cost? 

We usually charge a percentage of construction cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate for smaller projects. We are happy to discuss any arrangement.

Can you take over a project that's already underway? 

Yes. We can step in at any stage, review where the project stands, and put a recovery plan in place if needed.
