Construction Management

Construction Management (CM) is the de facto procurement method which consolidates the benefits of integrated team processes, the transparency of the commercial team’s activities and empowers the client.
As an equitable form of risk sharing, professional form of contract, construction management offers maximum flexibility for change by the client, with minimum scope for associated penalties. As a result (CM) is favoured by an increasingly large number of clients (both large and small) where both speed of commencement and certainty in the performance delivery of their undertaking is absolute.
There are various forms of (CM) appointment as listed below; all dependent upon the complexity and deliverables of the project;

Fixed - Fee Construction & Project Management

Where we work as an effective management agent for the Client to oversee pre-construction, procurement, construction and post-construction activities. Within this arrangement the Client (may) actively assist in project management. Whilst we provide full procurement of package bids and subcontractor appointment, the Client administers the legal control over all subcontractors.
The fixed price offer provides the client with cost certainty and an agreed programme from the date of or (in some instances) prior to our formal appointment. Additionally there is the potential for early involvement of the UrbanIS appointed project director to assist in the mission critical decision making process.

Construction Management (Guaranteed Maximum Price)

This project delivery method balances risk between the client and the construction manager. During the design phase the Client and the construction manager develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) or lump sum. The construction manager then manages the contracts and is directly responsible for executing the project.

Refurbishments and Interior Fit Out (Cost Plus)

Our expertise at UrbanIS also extends from construction into the fit-out and subsequent move management (occupation) stage, offering fixed price construction solutions and integrated consultancy services. A snag-free fit-out (traditionally, an almost impossible task) is critical to our clients' business activities and our constant vigilance during early project stages throughout the fit-out and occupation period is offered on a client centric approach.
