Our Services
Delivering a successful building project, whether a high-end home or a major commercial development, demands expert coordination across two core disciplines:
Project Management and Quantity Surveying.
Our Project Managers guide your project from concept through to completion, handling design management, contractor selection, procurement, and every stage of delivery. Our Quantity Surveyors provide cost planning, design cost management, procurement, and contract administration - keeping your budget firmly on track from first estimate through to final account.
We also offer specialist standalone services: Fund Monitoring for bank and lending institutions, and Builder’s Quantity Surveying covering everything from tendering through to contract administration.
Together, we make sure there are no nasty surprises.
We also offer a Mandarin-speaking service, with team members at our Christchurch and Wānaka offices available to assist Chinese-speaking clients throughout New Zealand.
Quantity Surveying
Our Quantity Surveyors can take care of all financial matters for your project. We understand how important it is to understand cost at all stages of a project. Our services include:
- Cost Planning - project budget development and cost plan preparation and management.
- Design Cost Management - cost checking and design cost management during design phases.
- Procurement – we can facilitate the entire process for clients directly, or for client representatives or key stakeholders.
- Financial Contract Management – undertake all financial management of a project from contract development through to contract administration, such as payment claim management, variation management and final account management.
- Builders – we can assist with tender management, tender preparation and submission. If successful with the tender, we can assist with all financial aspects of your project by managing the payment claims, variation price establishment and assistance with final accounts.
Project Management
Focus Project Managers work hard to develop close relationships with key stakeholders and to establish and define project goals and parameters, then set to work to provide a successful outcome for our clients. We:
- Develop and Manage Construction Programmes – from high level, development-stage programmes through to detailed construction sequencing programmes – as each project stage requires.
- Engage Consultants and Manage Design – we select the right team of designers for the project and then make sure the team works together for the best overall outcome for the client.
- Procure Contractor(s) – selecting and engaging the Contractor(s) that best fit the project.
- Monitor and Control the Project – project costs, health and safety overviews and adherence to programme.
- Manage Quality Assurance – ensuring not only the quality of the final finishes but also hidden and “behind the scenes” items that are just as important, for example structural elements and services.
- Manage Project Close-out – a successful project is only as good as the finished product.
