Discuss this serviceWhat it is
Project Management Consulting (PMC)
We act as an extension of the owner's team on construction and capital projects. Our role covers contractor procurement, master scheduling, cost control using earned value, contract administration, and site quality assurance, with clear reporting to management and the board.
- Typical duration
- Full project lifecycle (typically 12 to 36 months)
The business problem
Why clients need this
Large projects slip through scope creep, poorly managed contractor claims, and progress reports that hide delays until it is too late to recover them.
- 01
Owners rarely have enough senior project staff in-house to manage several contractors at once.
- 02
Contractor progress reports are based on claims rather than independently verified work done.
- 03
Disputed change orders and variation claims steadily erode project returns.
Our approach
How we deliver it
- 1
Baseline & Procurement Planning
Setting up the work breakdown structure, master CPM schedule, procurement packages, and risk register.
- 2
Contract Administration & Cost Control
Tender evaluation, milestone certification, variation assessment, and claims review.
- 3
Site Quality & Safety Assurance
Site engineers enforce QA/QC testing plans, safety compliance, and workmanship standards.
- 4
Commissioning & Handover
Snag closure, statutory approvals, testing and commissioning, and complete as-built documentation.
Data & AI
How technology strengthens this service
Drone surveys and site photographs are compared against the schedule and quantities to measure physical progress independently, so slippage shows up in our reports before it shows up in the contractor's.

FAQs
Common questions
How is PMC different from the contractor's project manager?+
The contractor's project manager looks after the contractor's scope and margin. Our PMC team works only for the owner, protecting your budget, schedule, and quality.
Can you take over a project that is already delayed?+
Yes. We start with a short review of the current baseline and contracts, then agree a realistic recovery schedule and put milestone controls in place.
What fee structures do you offer for PMC?+
Monthly fixed fees, a percentage of construction cost, or milestone-linked fees, depending on project size and scope.
