1. Initiate

A construction project begins with an initial idea, a desire or ambition. More space is needed, or just a more compact building, a more sustainable building. However, in a multitude of choices and options, it is not easy to go through the right steps in the right order in a structured way. Just consider the trade-off between new construction or remodeling, which can also present interesting opportunities. Our specialists will investigate this with you and also present you with less obvious solutions and options. Together we arrive at the best choices at the start of your project.

By conducting a thorough exploration under expert guidance as early as this stage, you will make solid choices that will hold up in the process of new or remodeling. This is important from the standpoint of progress and cost control. It provides peace of mind if you don’t overlook opportunities and/or have to review decisions. A good start means: clarity, overview and a smooth transition to the next phase of your construction project. We take care of that.

Initiation phase

From an initial idea, desire or ambition through the “why” question, clarify what you want to achieve.

Who are the users? What should a building do for you? From our experience, we bring it into focus.

2. Defining

In this phase, we guide you through all the steps to actually make a building plan concrete. We record the corresponding figures and the desired quality. We also agree with you exactly what should be in the Program of Requirements and, if necessary, conduct a Feasibility Study. Our expert consultants know how to arrive at the optimal result within the budget framework. Count on us to go to the limit. We also establish the desired project organization and create a schedule that is ambitious, realistic and robust enough to accommodate unforeseen development in one phase without immediately jeopardizing full progress. All outlines are now further developed and you are ready for the next phase.

3. Design

At this stage, there are many choices to be made about the building’s design. Specifically, what will it look like? What materials will be used? What technology and installations are needed? Our construction managers and consultants take each step with you. They ask the right questions at the right time to help your organization think through all the choices carefully, tailored to the functions your building needs to perform. We also pay attention to the opportunities for sustainable construction and the benefits and returns associated with it. Furthermore, our construction managers sort out everything as far as the necessary permits are concerned and they make sure they arrive on time. Here you will find more information on: Design Management.

4. Contract

From an idea to clear frameworks, and from there to a design, is quite a route. Actual construction always involves a large number of parties: from contractors to installers and furnishers. How will you choose all these parties and what agreements will you make with them? In the process of tendering and contracting, our specialists will help you find the right way. They ensure that you make the right choices and your procurement takes place according to all applicable regulations. They also guarantee that even the details in agreements are properly recorded in contracts. See also more information on our Procurement and Contracting services.

After all, all stakeholders have been brought together specifically for this project and may be working together for the first time. We keep control of the construction process for you.
