Project Management – What We Do
Our Project Management team is dedicated to supporting clients by delivering projects on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
We provide end-to-end construction project management services, guiding projects from inception through to completion and beyond. With excellent communication at the core of our approach, we ensure all stakeholders are kept fully informed throughout the project lifecycle. Our Project Managers bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and a diverse skill set to manage the procurement of complex, multi-disciplinary teams for design and construction projects.
To streamline the process and reduce complexity, you will have a single point of contact throughout the planning and scheduling phases. Our team will assist in defining project briefs, leading stakeholder management, and fostering collaboration to meet your specific requirements.
Proactive and innovative in their approach, our Project Managers excel at finding pragmatic solutions to complex challenges, ensuring each project is successfully delivered.
Our Project Management services include:
Our Project Management team understand the benefits of both JCT and NEC contracts, and are experienced in single and two-stage tendering. Having worked on a range of projects with both private and public sector procurement routes, including open tenders and operating through framework providers, we can advise you on the best route to tender your project.
We can carry out outline and full business cases. These allow our public sector clients to gain access to funding and agreed sign off for proposals, enabling them to proceed with their projects. Our team ensure projects are financially viable at the anticipated outturn project cost to give clients surety about scheme affordability.
Instructions and variations on your project will be managed in accordance with the contract.
Whilst administrating the contract, we will make sure all the required certificates are in place. The monthly progress meetings we organise keep your project running smoothly, to your set deadlines, and provide construction project management whilst your project is on site. As a result, all parties are kept informed and engaged with the process.
By supporting your procurement processes, we will help you select the right team for your project at an early stage. This will result in a smooth delivery and successful project outcome.
Our Project Managers ensure the Quantity Surveyors provide a monthly cost update. This will be reported to you on a regular basis to help you maintain cost control on your project.
We will drive this process to explore all the possible options for your project, ensuring best value is achieved.
Our Project Management team carry out reviews throughout the life of a project to guarantee exceptional service.
We manage this process, including public notifications, to increase the chances of your project getting through planning.
We will work with you to establish who the stakeholders are, and the processes required at each milestone to make sure you are in control of your project, from inception to delivery.
Our Project Managers will liaise with Planning Officers to guarantee an acceptable project is received with planning approval. We are also able to help discharge pre-commencement, construction phase and post occupation planning conditions.
A Risk Register will be set up to take all project risks into consideration. The project team will be made aware of the project risks, allowing them to be mitigated or controlled.
Background documentation will be completed to keep the project on track and achieve a successful outcome.
All parties will be notified of who the stakeholders are, at which stages of your project they will be involved, and any decision-making requirements. By scheduling meetings and engagement sessions, we will ensure we support their integration into your project.
Our support with Heritage Lottery Funding and NHS Funding processes is available.
Programme Management – What We Do
At Concertus, we proudly serve as the independent Programme Manager for the Ipswich Central and East Suffolk One Public Estate (OPE) Partnership.
Appointed by Suffolk County Council, we oversee all OPE activities within these regions, providing partners with clear visibility of active and potential estate collaboration opportunities. Our role also includes monitoring and engaging in pipeline development to identify future opportunities for optimising public land and property use.
To qualify for OPE funding, partnerships must establish an effective board, enabling public sector property holders to collaborate, explore, and unlock the full potential of public land and property assets.
Over the years, we have supported the partnership through, facilitating communication (maintaining strong and effective relationships between partners), project support (assisting partners with early-stage project development, project scoping, and producing briefs, as well as commissioning and procuring the required resources and expertise), pipeline development (monitoring future opportunities and facilitating operational working groups and workshops to assess project viability), administrative support (providing board-level administrative assistance and managing quarterly reporting submissions to the Local Government Association).
Our expertise ensures the coordination of resources and stakeholders, helping the partnership maximise the value of public land and deliver impactful projects for the community.
