As Chartered Surveyors & Project Managers we aim to provide our clients with control over time, cost and quality which in turn provides true added value.
Firmingers have been assisting clients in managing projects for many years. Project control depends on the understanding of all the factors in play. It begins with a structured approach to project planning and is sustained by careful attention in the management of schemes.
We recognise that all members of the team have a responsibility to the project. Our approach to scheme management is to be positive and proactive.
The role of the Project Manager includes:
Project programming
Options analysis to determine the most suitable solution
Leading the Value Management team
Develop a full Risk Management process
Developing a bespoke Change Management process
Managing clients directs into the process including internal stakeholders
The process of the Chartered Surveyor and Project Manager should start at the inception of the project. We can provide advice on team selection ensuring that the project has the right professionals. We can also advise on procurement ensuring value for money and programming ensuring you get your project on time to meet business requirements.
Our experienced surveyors understand technical and regulatory matters enabling the best solutions for our clients. Every aspect of the project or programme is fully investigated and appraised. Our early advice is essential to the project. Early advice can include high level cost advice based on benchmark data including our own bespoke database system based on projects over the last 60 years.
