Project Management · Northwood, West London
Keep the builder you have chosen — and put an experienced developer on your side of the table. We price and tender the specification for your Northwood build, help you agree a price you can trust, and hold cost, programme and quality to it through to handover.
Book a consultationOn your side of the table
Your builder is on their side of the table. We are on yours — testing what the work should genuinely cost, before you sign anything. With the average detached home in Northwood around £1.39m, there is too much at stake to take a single lump-sum figure on trust.
Substantial detached houses on wooded, private plots — Northwood's large gardens and mature setting make it one of West London's strongest replacement-dwelling locations.
We detail and price the specification so every builder quotes the same thing, take it to the market, and then hold the number as the job runs — scrutinising variations rather than waving them through.
How it works
We detail and price what you're actually building, so every builder is quoting the same thing and you're not comparing apples with pears.
We take it to the market, test the numbers against what the work should really cost, and help you agree a fixed or capped price with a builder you trust.
As the job runs we manage cost, programme and quality — checking valuations, scrutinising variations, and keeping the number honest rather than letting it drift.
Snagging, handover and the detail at the end that most people are too worn down to chase properly by that stage.
What we bring
Your builder is on theirs. We're the experienced eye acting only in your interest — not marking our own homework.
We've priced and delivered this work for years. A number that's wrong is obvious to us long before it's obvious to you.
This is where budgets quietly run away. Every change gets tested on whether it's fair, necessary and properly priced.
Agreed up front and scaled to what you actually need — from oversight at the key stages to full hands-on management.
Questions
Yes — that is the point of this route. You keep the contractor you have chosen, and we act for you to make sure the specification, the price and the delivery all stack up.
Because we price and deliver this work ourselves. We test your builder's numbers against what the trades and materials should genuinely cost, on a plot where the average detached home runs to around £1.39m — a number that is wrong is obvious to us long before it is obvious to you.
No. With construction management you contract the trades directly and we procure and run them for you, open-book. With project management your Northwood builder holds the trades on an agreed price, and we act for you to hold them to it. Different risk, same experienced hand.
Yes. We manage delivery around the consent and conditions set by London Borough of Hillingdon, coordinating building control, the programme and the trades on your behalf.
Not always, and we will say so. On a straightforward Northwood build with a good contractor and an engaged architect, much of it is covered between them. Where it earns its money is on larger or more complex projects, or where you have not the time or experience to hold a builder to account.
