PROJECT MANAGEMENT

A building project is unique. There is no rehearsal, no prototype.

Effective project management is required to ensure there are no slip-ups and results in a building that meets the client’s aspirations in terms of time, cost, quality and risk.  Essential tasks and responsibilities of a project management service include:

  • Developing the project plan, setting the scope of the project
  • Managing the project team including stakeholders
  • Managing the project risk including programme and cost
  • Managing the project conflicts
  • Managing procurement

Aura has the experience to manage the process on behalf of the client, incorporating these critical tasks, focussing on key areas of the building project lifecycle:

  • Visioning and Briefing – Our service starts right at the beginning when the idea is formed.  We can take the idea and help you turn it into a vision to support your business.   Through effective engagements, the vision develops into a brief from which designs can be produced and budgets can be formulated.   Aura’s experience allows us to be adept at interpreting these into practical, responsive and cost effective solutions
  • Constructing the Team – Projects are successful because of the people involved in them.  Aura can procure the team relevant to your specific need, from designers, engineers and other consultants through to building contractors to construct the building and FM specialists to maintain the building on completion.   Our supply chain has a wide range of experience working together to ensure project risks are managed effectively
  • Project Cost Control – From setting the budget to settling the final account, we understand the need to demonstrate value for money to our clients at various stages of a project.   At the outset, Aura can assist in identifying and submitting funding applications using our early cost advice which is validated using the involvement of our construction supply chain partners.  Cost checks and benchmarking are regularly carried out through the design development and pre-construction stages.   Where the client requests changes, these are dealt with swiftly ensuring the programme is not delayed
  • Construction Monitoring and Compliance – Through the construction stage, regular and effective communication between Aura and the client results in a ‘no surprise’ environment where any issues are dealt with in an efficient and timely manner, including minimising disruption to the client’s business (if appropriate) and preparing a client for handing over the completed project

Aura’s track record of developing and managing successful and award winning projects demonstrates our ability to realise our client’s vision.
