FACILITIES OVERSIGHT
A clearly scoped project. Controlled decisions.
A building improvement can begin with a simple need: replace an asset, refresh a workplace or adapt a space. Turning that need into a deliverable project requires clear requirements, a realistic budget and a process for comparing quotations and managing change.
Our client-side project management supports owners, occupiers and management teams through that process. We work alongside appointed contractors and specialist consultants, with the project scope, approvals and reporting agreed before delivery begins. The builder and specialist providers retain their respective delivery and professional responsibilities.

What is client-side project management?
It is project oversight undertaken on behalf of the client. Smart Facilities helps define the brief, coordinate providers, track cost and progress, and manage the agreed handover process while representing your interests.
Do you build or carry out the fit-out?
Our offer is client-side management and coordination. Appointed contractors carry out the construction and specialist works. The proposal identifies our role and the other providers required.
Can you scope minor works before we obtain quotes?
Yes. A defined scoping engagement can document requirements, practical constraints and the information needed for comparable quotations before you decide how to proceed.
Can you manage works in an occupied school or workplace?
Access, staging, term dates and operating hours can be included in planning. The work programme and contractor arrangements need to suit the agreed site requirements.
Can we engage you for only part of a project?
Yes. Support can focus on scoping, procurement, delivery oversight or handover. Responsibilities, available information and deliverables are defined for that engagement.
