Project Management

& Contract Administration

JS Building Consultancy offer a full Project Management service from inception of the project to completion of the building works for both private and commercial clients.

New build homes, extensions, refurbishments, and alterations are the most common type of works that we are asked to project manage, and following an initial meeting with the client, the following will usually make up the main stages of a project, although there can be flexibility to meet client requirements.

Stage 1. Initial meeting with Client and site visit.

Initial meeting with client to establish the brief, the type of project, the use of the building, the budget and other relevant details.
Appraisal of the site or existing building including a measured survey to identify opportunities or constraints that could influence the project.
Preparation of a feasibility report.

Stage 2. Planning Permission.

Stage 3. Technical design – Building Regulations.

Stage 4. Managing the build project – Contract administration process.
