Independent construction consultancy

A clear understanding of costs can make a huge difference to the way a project progresses.

We can help establish a realistic budget, review and compare builders’ quotations, advise on contracts and tendering, assess variations and monitor payments throughout the build.

The aim is simple: to help you understand where your money is going and make informed decisions before additional costs become a problem.

Building work involves a lot of moving parts.

We can provide independent oversight of your project, working with you, your builder, architect and other consultants to keep things moving in the right direction.

From monitoring progress and programme to reviewing costs and dealing with issues on site, we can provide practical support throughout the construction process.

Sometimes a building project doesn’t go according to plan.

Disagreements can arise over costs, variations, delays, workmanship or what was originally agreed.

We can provide an independent assessment of the situation, help establish the facts and work with those involved to find a practical way forward.

Where relationships have become difficult, we can also act as a buffer between you and the other parties involved, helping to keep communication constructive and focused on resolving the issues at hand.

You don’t have to appoint a construction manager for your entire project to benefit from professional advice.

Perhaps you’ve received a builder’s quotation and want to know whether it looks reasonable. You may be unsure about a variation, concerned about escalating costs or simply want someone experienced to visit the site and give you an independent view.

Prime Construction Management can be brought in at any stage, for as much or as little support as you need.

Sometimes a second opinion is all it takes to give you the confidence to make the next decision.
