Project Support
Programme, site supervision and quality control from pre-construction to handover.
01 / SERVICE OVERVIEW
How we can help
Senior project management support and on-site oversight that keeps the programme, coordination, change and quality under control — from pre-construction through to handover and the review of O&M manuals that closes a project out.
We manage the process on your behalf: reviewing the information the design team and contractor issue, tracking open issues and agreeing practical next steps throughout construction. The design stays with the appointed designers; our role is to manage, review and report.
What we do on your project
01Pre-construction input
- Input to the construction programme, the work sequence and the procurement route before the contract is let.
- Design information reviewed on your behalf for buildability, site access, plant space, builder's work and long-lead items.
- Issued as a risk and opportunity register, comments on the draft programme and a written view on the procurement route.
- Queries are raised with the design team and tracked until they are answered in writing.
02Project & programme management
- Programme tracking, progress reporting, change control and coordination of the design and construction team on your behalf.
- Progress measured against the agreed programme, with delays, dependencies and outstanding information identified early, and changes logged as they arise.
- Issued as progress reports, an updated information-required schedule, a change and variation log and minuted coordination meetings.
- Actions carry an owner and a date and are reviewed at each meeting until closed.
03Site supervision
- Regular site attendance to check installation against the design and specification.
- Installed work compared with the current drawings and specification, and deviations recorded as they are found.
- Issued as site visit reports with photographs, an observation list and marked-up drawings.
- Non-conforming work is raised with the contractor and re-inspected at the following visit until it is accepted.
04Quality & safety compliance
- Inspection records, test witnessing and compliance checks against the specification and current regulations.
- Testing and commissioning witnessed against the specification, including electrical certification to BS 7671 and fire alarm commissioning to BS 5839.
- Issued as inspection and test records, witnessing sheets and a compliance register, with safety observations reported to the principal contractor.
- Non-compliances are logged with a required action and date, and closed only once evidence is provided.
05Contractor coordination
- Interfaces between trades, technical queries and open-issue tracking through construction.
- Trade interfaces, builder's work and installation sequence reviewed ahead of work starting on site.
- Issued as coordination meeting minutes, a technical query register carrying the design team's written answers, and marked-up coordination drawings.
- Every query carries a reference, an owner and a date, and stays on the register until it is answered in writing.
06O&M manual & handover review
- The contractor's operation and maintenance manuals, record drawings and commissioning records reviewed on your behalf before you accept them.
- Submissions checked against the specification and the agreed manual structure for completeness, covering equipment data, test and commissioning certificates, warranties and record drawings.
- Issued as a comment schedule against each submission, with the information needed for the health and safety file identified for the principal designer.
- Missing or incomplete submissions are listed with the action required and tracked to close-out, and the revised manual is re-reviewed before it is accepted.
07Defect management & handover
- Defect inspections, a single defect register and close-out tracking through to practical completion.
- Installations inspected area by area and system by system against the drawings, specification and commissioning results.
- Issued as a numbered defect register with locations and photographs, updated after each re-inspection, and close-out records at completion.
- Each defect carries an owner and a date and is closed only after re-inspection, with anything outstanding reported at practical completion.
