FAQ

Everything you should know about Consultancy

  • Consultancy
  • What types of projects do you advise on?
    Commercial offices, healthcare estates, logistics and industrial sheds, data centres, life sciences and labs, mixed use regeneration and public sector projects at feasibility, design or delivery stage.
    At what stage should we involve you?
    Ideally from the first idea or business case so strategy, phasing, cost and programme are aligned early, but we can also support schemes already in design or on site where they need to be brought back on track.
    How do you work with our internal team?
    We work alongside your estates, development and project teams, running workshops, reviewing information and providing clear options and recommendations rather than replacing existing roles or responsibilities.
    Do you only work with one main contractor or framework?
    No. We act for the client and can work across multiple contractors, frameworks and suppliers, helping you choose the right route then providing independent programme, cost and risk challenge.
    Can you help with business cases and approvals?
    Yes. We support business case development, funding submissions and board approvals with clear options, risk summaries, cost and programme data so decisions are backed by evidence not assumptions.
    How do you approach cost and value engineering?
    We benchmark against similar schemes, identify opportunities and risks, then test value options with stakeholders so savings do not undermine safety, functionality or long term performance.
    What does programme and project management support include?
    We help set up and maintain realistic programmes, run risk and issue logs, track change and lead progress reviews so your teams and contractors stay aligned on milestones and actions.
    Can you help with frameworks and procurement routes?
    Yes. We advise on framework options, traditional, design and build or PCSA routes, then support the preparation of scopes, evaluation criteria and appointments so the route matches the risk profile.
    How do you capture the golden thread of decisions?
    Key decisions, assumptions and changes are recorded as we go, with supporting drawings, minutes and evidence held together so approvals, audits and handover are easier to manage.
    Do you stay involved after handover?
    We can support soft landings, lessons learned sessions and early operation reviews, feeding insight back into your next programme or business case so the benefits are carried forward.
