of any project, whatever the size. We will assess what you are aiming for and provide

engineers to suppliers and contractors for many years, and know their respective
track records and proven abilities means that we can be confident they will meet
both our and your expectations. Our drive and approach is focused in obtaining the

Ascertaining budgets, negotiating with suppliers and managing cash flow
Establishing your build cost as early as possible is absolutely essential in helping
you evaluate the feasibility of your project, so we will begin with estimates by
meeting contractors on-site to facilitate quotes, sourcing and advising on acquisition
of materials, to ensure you get the best quality at the best price. We fully understand
that cash flow is a fundamental part of managing your project, and can have a
considerable impact on the schedule of works.

Coordinating work schedules, monitoring progress and regular reporting
We will maintain comprehensive and personalised support through every stage of
the building process and will oversee the work of all the professionals involved, to
make sure that materials are delivered on time to enable the relevant contractors to
be on site when needed to complete their part of the build. We will be your single
point of contact and will hold regular consultations and report to you throughout with
updates on progress of all aspects of the project. |
Quality control, overseeing payments and delivering the final project
We are aware that you may wish to improve things along the way that differ from
the initial plans, as often those who have not opted for a project manager find that
alterations can result in them being forced to undo much of the work and start again.
By choosing Cross & Prior we will ensure your project is managed every stage of the
way, and assure all works stringently adhere to current building regulations, which
will help you reduce the risks and lead to a significant savings in project costs.
