What is Construction Management?
Construction management is a professional service that provides clients with the effective management and delivery of a project. This includes the schedule, cost, quality, safety, scope, and function, and Erimus Architectural Design and Build take responsibility for the successful delivery of the project
Erimus Architectural Design and Build represents the client’s best interests, and offers an oversight of the project to the client. With a clear direction to work with all involved parties, our goal is focused on the project delivery which is on time, on or under budget and to the client’s satisfaction, while maintaining an expected high standard of quality and service.
Our team works effectively with the client, architect, contractors and other parties to develop the schedule and budget, help create plans for project safety and security and advising the client on managing risk.
Construction Management procurement, however, adds a unique approach, which allows for greater control and delivery of your project. This method allows the consultant the flexibility to offer tenders to each individual aspect of the project, rather than using one main contractor. In turn, this improves communication and cooperation as the consultant acts as a single point of contact for each contractor. This makes construction management procurement a unique feature, particularly when it comes to managing contracts, as the consultant places independent JCT contracts all the specialist subcontractors working on your project from one central location.
