We scale our management procedures to the scope of the project, and will consider the expected degree of risk, likely duration, complexity, estimated costs, the value of expected benefits, impact on the existing organisation, the required level of stakeholder or supplier management, etc.  Although we do not strictly follow Prince II management methodology we adopt elements of it it where we feel it is appropriate.

 

We will analyse and further develop the initial Business Case in close conjunction with the client regarding:

​

• Delivery of required outcomes and benefits,

• Assessments of  risks, options and opportunities,

• Complexity,

• Dependencies

• Likely duration of the project,

• Funding;  available and likely to be required.

 

There are two essential documents that will be generated for authorisation by the client at the end of this process:

 

           1.    The final Business Case which enables the client to establish the overall plan project costs, risks and viability

 

           2.    The Project Initiation Document which outlines the understanding of the scope and nature of the project and  how different

                  aspects are going to be managed and once approved will instigate implementation of the project

​

Management of projects may be provided as a distinct exercise focussed on delivery of projects, or in conjunction with our design services, and may include:

​

• Feasibility study and option appraisals

• Confirmation of Project initiation document, initial Project Brief and Business Case

• Exchange with clients and client representatives, end users, occupants, etc.

• Project management / co-ordination

• Cost management

• Programme management

• Procurement and contract administration

• Project related health and safety and CDM

• Project risk management

• Processing of applications for statutory approvals

 

When requested to include for full design as part of a potential project we will simultaneously include for all aspects in relation to the 'principal designer' role, as required under the Construction Design and Management Regulations.
