Client Side Project Management |
 |
Getting all the local authority permissions and contracting
tradesmen, builders, decorators and craftsmen to carry out work on your business or
residential property can be a daunting task.
However, managing the work is just as crucial to success, if not more so. Even
the smallest project can be an extraordinarily complex business.
Making sure your development runs smoothly, on time and to budget requires many
different skills and also a sound knowledge of what's involved in the whole process
of working on site.
|
Most experts will agree, it is unwise to take on this task yourself if you also
have a full-time job. And this is where we can help!
Whether it is your business, investment property or your own home we can be on
hand from day one. Furthermore, we already have a list of reliable contractors
that we know will complete the job well so you don't need to worry about
appearing on the next episode of a TV documentary about cowboy contractors.

Why contract a Project Manager? |
Can you afford to spend enough time on site?
If you are committed to a full-time job, then the answer is "no".
Project managing is a full time job, you will not be able to work
elsewhere for a large chunk of the day and simultaneously fit in
working on-site, overseeing labour and ordering materials into 24 hours.
Why should I pay someone else to manage my work?
The workload associated with project managing means that costs are generally
around 10 to 20% of the value of the project.
To save this money, you could try to run the project yourselves but this
will only work if things run smoothly. Inexperience can result in hiccups, a lack
of planning early on or even partway through a development can cause overruns in
budget and schedule all of which can have costly consequences.
And don't forget, you may be saving the project managers fee but how much
are you losing from your own salary? |

Case Studies |
• New Bar and
Restaurant |
| This Grade 2 Listed Hotel in Kent had no Food and Beverage
facilities but did have a under-utilised reception building.
Statham Consulting was
contracted to develop the space and provide the Hotel with that all important Bar and
Restaurant.
A design was fashioned, costed and then the relevant permissions were gained.
Statham Consulting then project managed the entire build through to hand over. |
• Hotel Rooms |
This Hotel had a block of 13 rooms that after
fourteen years were starting to really show their.
Contracted to redesign the rooms and develop them into the luxury suites
at the Hotel. Once again, we project managed the entire build from design
and costing stage right through to hand over which was completed on time
and on budget. During a recent visit by the Hotel Grading Inspector the
Proprietors were told that these rooms had improved from a two star to
four star grading.
|
• Residential Rental Property |
Purchased as a residential investment
property, this house required a complete modernisation.
To open the property up, some structural changes were completed.
Following this, the plumbing, heating and electrics were all renewed
as were the kitchen and bathroom.
Completed under budget, the property was then placed on the rental market
and a tenant found within 24 hours.
