Project Management

The Project Manager (PM) role is key to any project, coordinating the relationship between members of the team, and overseeing the key parameters including scope, programme & budget.

As part of our Managing Architectural Service, the Architect & Project Manager roles are combined for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Our project management process includes a seven-point project planning system. This expands the traditional project management triangle (Scope, Cost & Time), with the addition of four equally important aspects (Ethics, Design, Team & Standards).

The project process includes regular review and update of the seven aspects throughout design and construction to help maintain clear focus and adherence to the core objectives.

Our project management service includes:

Assisting the Client in defining their brief, requirements & preferences for the project.
Advising the Client in identifying and appointing their team.
Coordinating & communicating key roles and responsibilities within the team.
Reviewing timeframes and maintaining the overall project programme.
