Our clients were using a series of individual trades to complete their timber frame self-build. This building route carries more financial risk than using a main contractor, so it is usually a good idea to get an independent project manager to help oversee the build.
The design of this new home also involved a great deal of glazing – as well as a highly efficient energy performance target, and complex renewable technologies. These included an air source heat pump, a mechanical ventilation heat recovery system and solar PV. It was therefore particularly important to keep a close eye on the build and installation of the systems.
Our Project Manager was appointed to provide site support. This was primarily to add independent, expert advice to the project as required – and fill in any gaps in the client’s construction knowledge or understanding.
On this project, the clients wanted to retain overall control, but knew they needed additional support.
We agreed that we would work flexibly, so rather than working via a monthly fee we provided help and visited when required and simply billed on an hourly basis for our time. CLPM’s construction support services are the ideal choice if you want to retain overall control of the day-to-day running of your project but want access to a trusted construction guide.
If you invest in CLPM’s construction support services, you will benefit from the collective experience of our entire company.
