Building Project Management in Hove

Building project management in Hove for homeowners running a build. One person books the trades, orders materials, holds the programme and deals with building control, so you are not chasing five phone numbers.

What a Project Manager Does

The job is sequencing. Trades have to arrive in the right order, materials have to land before the trade that needs them, and inspections have to be booked at the right stage. Get one of those wrong and a week is lost waiting for someone to come back.

Budgets and Variations

Costs move when the scope changes or something unexpected turns up. We price variations before they happen rather than at the end, so you can decide. A running cost sheet means you always know where you stand against the original figure.

Dealing with Building Control

Inspections happen at set stages: foundations, damp proof course, structure, insulation and completion. Missing one means opening the work up again. We book them, meet the inspector on site and keep the certificates together for handover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a project manager for a home extension in Hove?

Not if you have hired one builder who runs the trades. It helps when you are appointing trades separately, which many homeowners do to save money. Without someone sequencing the work, that saving is usually lost again in waiting time between trades.

What does building project management cost?

It is normally a percentage of the build value, and it varies with how much of the work we are running. On a self managed project the fee often pays for itself in fewer delays and better material pricing. We set it out clearly at the start.

Can you take over a project that has stalled?

Yes, and it happens more often than you would think. We survey what has been built, check what has been signed off by building control and produce a schedule to finish. Sometimes work has to be undone first, and we will tell you that upfront.
