Service 01

Project management

One experienced professional leading your project from first brief to final handover — keeping the consultants, the builder, the budget and the program pulling in the same direction, and keeping you informed at every step.

What’s included

The whole project, managed on your behalf.

  • Brief & strategy

    Clarify scope, objectives, budget and timing, and test viability before you commit.

  • Budget & cost control

    Set and track the project budget, working with your quantity surveyor where one is engaged.

  • Program

    A master program with key milestones and the decisions you need to make, and when.

  • Consultant coordination

    Scope, appoint and manage architects, engineers, certifiers and specialists.

  • Approvals

    Coordinate the approval pathway with your planner, certifier and the relevant authorities.

  • Risk & issues

    Keep a live risk register and deal with problems early, before they become costly.

  • Quality & safety

    Build quality and safety in from the start, and make sure the builder meets the specified standards and their WHS obligations on site.

  • Reporting

    Regular plain-English reports on cost, time, risk and the decisions in front of you.

  • Handover

    Coordinate completion, documentation, warranties and defects so the project closes out cleanly.

    Tender, contract and build, with cost and program tracked throughout.

  4. 04

    Practical completion, handover, defects and a complete record of the project.

What you receive

Clear records at every stage.

Practical documents you can use to make decisions — and keep as a full record once the project is finished.

  • Project brief
  • Budget and cashflow forecast
  • Master program
  • Risk register
  • Consultant scopes and agreements
  • Regular project reports
  • Handover and close-out pack

Questions

Common questions.

I already have an architect. Do I need a project manager?

Your architect leads the design. A project manager looks after the whole project on your behalf — budget, program, consultants, procurement and the builder — independently of the design.

Can you take on just part of the project?

Yes. You can engage me for the full journey, or for a single stage such as tender or construction.

How are fees structured?

I charge on an hourly basis, or can provide a fixed fee if the requirements of the project are known.
