Project Support
Project management, site supervision and quality control on the client's behalf, from pre-construction to handover.
01 / OVERVIEW
What we do
We act for the client through construction: reviewing the information issued by the design team and contractor, supervising the installation on site, and tracking programme, change and quality through to handover.
The design stays with the appointed designers. Our role is to manage, inspect, review and report, so you have an independent view of progress and quality throughout the project.
