CT+G manage a wide range of projects encompassing all our disciplines – we can therefore employ our considerable expertise either within our specialist disciplines or for the independent management of other project environments.

A project is controlled change with a defined start and end.  Project Management is a robust and structured process in which the Project Manager acts as catalyst enabler. This includes briefing, commissioning and closing the project. The defined project strategy needs to take account of the legal and commercial environment. 

Project management planning defines the objectives then employs tools such as programming, cost planning, procurement strategy, risk assessment, quality and change control, document control, the effective use of technology and definition of responsibilities for agreement by participants. These then monitor, inform and control the process. Life costing and value engineering may also be appropriate.

Even with the most proficient mechanisms and tools, projects often fail when softer skills of effective communication, team building, team balance, organisation structure and (where necessary) conflict management are absent. 

Developments within the construction industry have been reflected in the Latham and Egan Reports. These have been associated with a shift in the relationship of design and construction procurement and the associated project management methodology. 

A significant proportion of our recent Architectural workload has been in the field of successful PFI projects, design and build, and forms of procurement other than traditional forms of contract.
