What the Project Is About
Delivering sustainable success and adding value through collaboration with dynamic, innovative, and driven solutions—that’s the core of this project. It’s all about providing a more holistic and strategic approach to managing construction projects. Founded by Professor Saul Humphrey, the vision is clear: to be the sustainable construction consultant of choice. The focus spans project management, construction management, management consultancy, and dispute resolution, all tailored to meet the evolving needs of the construction and property industry.
Main Benefits of the Project
This project brings a wealth of benefits to the table, including:
- Expert project management across various sizes and complexities, covering all sectors in construction and property.
- Holistic stakeholder engagement throughout funding, design, planning, procurement, construction, and final handover stages.
- Construction management that avoids traditional main contractors by using separate specialist works/trade contracts, offering speed, flexibility, and control.
- Management consultancy services including procurement advice, contractor selection, stakeholder engagement, R&D tax credits, and M&A support.
- Dispute resolution expertise through negotiation, mediation, adjudication, arbitration, and litigation.
- Commitment to sustainable project delivery aligned with the triple bottom-line ethos, adding value for all involved.
Project Management and Construction Services
Project management here isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s a full-spectrum service that handles everything from initial funding and design to procurement and construction, right through to the final handover. The approach is holistic, engaging all stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered successfully and sustainably. Construction management takes a different route by utilising separate specialist contracts instead of a traditional main contractor. This method often secures better value, greater transparency, and a balance of speed and flexibility that’s hard to beat.
Strategic Consultancy and Dispute Resolution
Beyond managing projects, this initiative offers expert management consultancy that covers procurement advice, contractor selection, stakeholder engagement, and even R&D tax credits. It’s a comprehensive support system designed to help clients navigate complex construction landscapes. When disputes arise, expert independent advice is available to resolve differences through negotiation, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), expert determination, mediation, adjudication, arbitration, and litigation. This ensures smoother project delivery and less downtime.
