project management
Our expert project management team brings certainty, creativity and confidence to our clients’ most ambitious schemes. .
Delivering major programmes and projects with confidence
Whatever the goal at hand, bringing in a dedicated programme or project management team (PPM) offers clients many advantages such as responsible and creative leadership; insights drawn from other sectors; and the confidence of an experienced team, ready to take on the largest and most complex commissions.
Ecoworks works with clients in every industry, providing talented teams of project managers who support projects throughout the whole building life-cycle – developing the initial business case, procurement, undertaking design management, and then construction management.
But we also go beyond a project’s core aims, drawing on our wider knowledge to add value in different ways. Depending on the project there might be opportunities to set more ambitious sustainability targets or improve the overall workplace experience. We take time to consider the possibilities, adding value but never bureaucracy or costs.
House In Chilanga
On the Forth Construction of the two story house Project, our PPM team quickly discovered the project cost estimate for the original scope as defined was undeliverable for the client. But by stepping back, questioning assumptions and challenging the brief we were able to help re-imagine the scheme to deliver on all project goals to program deadlines and for half the original budget.
Bringing communities and users onboard
No project is ever only about numbers. That’s why we help our clients to find ways to expand the social value of their projects or investments, helping them play a more beneficial role in the communities they work in. Again, Ecoworks huge range of skills and experience means we can spot opportunities others miss.
There are new ways to bring certainty to projects and programs too. On complex infrastructure projects, our team were able to provide new digital and visualization tools to help the stakeholder engagement process, engaging the communities with a better understanding of the route, the impact and the noise involved.
Taking on major programmes
On programme management commissions our perspective is even wider. Our team offer strategic advice, always taking time to relate the work at hand to clients’ other long-term goals. How does an whole estate work, viewed as a whole portfolio? Where can efficiencies and savings be produced across the whole commission? We provide a forensic, aerial view.
We help clients to decide their priorities, making sure their choices and investments are truly beneficial over the long-term. We also ensure they have the governance mechanisms to stay in control of costs and can stay forward looking.
