PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Written by Concept Uk
The success of any type of project is in the detailed planning before starting work. This is even more crucial where possible problems and delays could have a direct impact on the profitability of your company. Our experienced project managers will start by taking an outline brief of your requirements and then produce a detailed step by step visible project plan. Once this has been agreed by you work can begin.
Project management means more time for you to be concentrating on your business and not having to deal with the minutiae of the daily running of the project. Experience of running vast and complex projects means that potential problems can be spotted well in advance and dealt with appropriately. We will hold your hand throughout the process and deliver within brief and on time.
REGULATIONS & PERMISSIONS
Written by Concept Uk
This is an area that can be not only time consuming but incredibly frustrating for the uninitiated. From experience we know that even small projects often need Local Authority Building Regulations approval, fighting through the mounds of paperwork to apply for permissions is not the best use of time when you are running a business at the same time.
We have vast experience and are completely up to date on the latest legal regulations you need to comply with. Our service aims to make this a smooth process by dealing on your behalf with the local authority and even making the applications for you if you so wish.
PROPERTY SEARCH
Written by Concept Uk
PROPERTY SEARCH:
From taking an initial brief from your company to ascertain your aspirations regarding new premises, we engage with the local property agents on a confidential basis, to identify potential available properties within your catchment area and budgetary resources.On your behalf, we visit the properties without bias and compose a report on the properties that we consider to be suitable, showing a detailed condition survey.
FEASIBILITY:
Once we have shortlisted some potential buildings, we produce an illustrative space plan showing examples of embryonic office and furniture layouts. This will help you to visualise the space in a more pragmatic way. At this stage we prepare a document outlining the scope of works, where necessary, to render the building suitable for your specific needs.
QUOTATION:
Once you have settled on a building that you consider appropriate for your company, we present a quotation to carry out the details within the above ‘Scope of Work’ and include any additional new furniture requirements and removal charges for your consideration. This may also include dilapidation work to your existing premises that you may be responsible for.
IMPLEMENTATION:
Should we be awarded the contract to carry out these works, we will take care of any statutory landlord or planning permissions and consents.We will assess the project in line with the “Health and Safety at Work Act” and “Construction and Design Management” (C.D.M.) Regulations, and will issue the necessary documentation to parties nominated by yourselves.
Essentially we will guide you through the often disruptive process of moving your offices, in a professional unbiased manner, keeping you informed yet releasing you to spend your time where it is most effective, in running your own business throughout the procedure
