At JTM Building Consultancy, we don’t just help you to secure new commercial premises. We are also on hand to help you renovate, extend, or alter them with our start-to-finish project management services.
Over time, your business requirements may shift as you onboard new staff, scale-up your operations, or adapt your core offerings. In most cases, taking your business in a new direction will require modifications to your existing premises, but undertaking any internal refurbishment project is much easier to conceptualise than it is to complete.
Whether you’re considering moderate alterations or stripping the space out completely, planning a project of this scale is a lot to take on, but with our help you will not have to do so on your own. No matter the scale of your renovation project or the deadline that you are working to, our project management packages (which include our design alteration services) will oversee your project works and safeguard your business interests as you transform your premises.
Our project management services
Before any structural or refurbishment works can begin, all the required documentation and statutory approvals must be obtained, the design proposal must be signed off by the relevant parties, and a set budget agreed upon.
This is all before the task of securing contractor services, overseeing works, and maintaining compliance with the relevant regulations can begin. Managing a project requires constant attention during a time in which all of yours needs to be focused upon maintaining a functional interim workplace and running a successful business, so keep your focus fixed upon these important matters and leave the following to us:
Preparing a design brief
This clear, structured document will detail all the proposed works for a project, along with their timeline, budget, feasibility and potential constraints. All information that is relevant to the project, from the site details to the design preferences, will be collected by our team and included in this brief to keep all parties aligned on the core aims of the project from start to finish.
Obtaining and reviewing tenders
In order to secure the best contractors for your project, our building consultants will issue invitations to tender to a selection of the best contractors in your local area. These invitations will include the project specifications, designs, preliminaries and pricing limits, and once we have received the tenders in response to our invitations we will appraise them on your behalf and make the right decision for your project and budget.
Controlling budgets
Once the best contractors for the job have been secured, our team will monitor their progress and keep track of their daily works to prevent them from going over-budget. Strict cost-control procedures are needed at every stage, from estimating costs at the beginning to allocating and redistributing portions of the budget as needed, and we will also continue to identify expensive risks throughout the project to minimise unforeseen expenditure.
Overseeing project works
Our RICS-approved building consultants will act on your behalf and coordinate all the different aspects of the project to keep the works on time, within budget, and fully compliant with all regulations. No matter the scale or complexity of a project we will work closely with all the contractors, provide technical and procedural advice as needed and keep you fully informed with regular updates at every stage.
Risk management
We will maintain an ongoing risk assessment to keep onsite personnel safe and stay ahead of any issues that could result in the loss of time or money. Our project management services aim to avoid all scheduling issues or last-minute changes that could have a knock-on effect across the entire project, as well as assessing the causes of any delays and identifying areas for improvement.
