Our PROJECT MANAGER
Our Project Management Service will provide guidance and expertise throughout your project. We represent and protect your interests with responsibility; for both the day-to-day project management and the achievement of its overall goals and objectives.
We offer this as a standalone service or, as some of our clients have done in the past, combine to include the Contract Administrator / Employers Agent and Cost Consultant Roles in one. The overall management of the project becomes simplified from inception to completion.
Some clients lack the time, resource, experience or technical skills to take on the in-house responsibility of organising and implementing an office fit-out and relocation project – this is where our consultancy service can add value to you. We listen, we understand, and we implement.
