Project Management
We can help at any stage
Stage 0:
Strategic Definition
Vitruvius will work with you to identify your business objectives, create a strategic brief and other core project requirements.
We start putting together initial considerations for a tailored project team, establish a project programme, discuss planning pre-application and draw up sub-contractor contracts.
Project Status: Strategic Definition
Stage 1:
Preparation & Briefing
Vitruvius supports you with developing project objectives, including quality objectives and project outcomes, sustainability aspirations, project budget and develop an initial project brief. We can also undertake feasibility studies and review all site information.
At this stage we would also prepare a project roles table and contractual tree and continue assembling the project team and Architect. We would also start to look at handover strategy and risk assessments.
Project Status: Preparation & Briefing
Stage 2:
Concept Design
Vitruvius manages and co-ordinates concept designs including outline proposals for structural design and building services systems. We outline specifications and draft preliminary cost information along with relevant project strategies in accordance with the design programme, agree alterations to brief and issue final project brief.
At this point we also prepare sustainability, maintenance, operational and health & safety strategies and review the handover strategy and risk assessments. Planning applications are usually made at this point.
Project Status: Concept Design
Stage 3:
Spatial Coordination
Working with the architectural and engineering teams, we manage the development of the design and coordinate and update proposals for structural design, building services systems, outline specifications, cost information and project strategies in accordance with the design programme. Ensuring everything is scheduled on time and to plan.
Project Status: Spatial Coordination
Stage 4:
Technical Design
We ensure the technical design sits in accordance with the design responsibility matrix and project strategies and includes all architectural, structural and building services information, specialist subcontractor design and specifications, in accordance with Design Programme.
We lead in the preparation and submission of building regulations and any other third party submissions, whilst reviewing and updating the project execution plan, construction strategy and updating the health & safety strategy.
Project Status: Technical Design
Stage 5:
Manufacturing and Construction
We co-ordinate and oversee any offsite manufacturing and onsite construction in accordance with the construction programme and assist with the resolution of any design queries that might arise on site.
We prepare and administer the building contract, undertake regular site inspections and constantly review progress and costs.
At this stage we would review and update the sustainability strategy and the handover strategy, including agreement of information required for commissioning, training, handover, asset management, future monitoring and maintenance and ongoing compilation of ‘As-constructed’ information.
We would also update construction and health and safety strategies.
Project Status: Manufacturing and Construction
