Some examples where we’ve added value on projects for our customers
include:
- Realising efficiencies of up to 30% for Highways Agency by
implementing the lean process management methodology across its
supply chain.
- Enabling residents to influence products and finishes to a
London residential development within a defined budgetary limit,
encouraged community input into the project whilst still achieving
value for money.
- Dispute resolution between a major infrastructure customer and
the main contractor, resulted in a successful project and final
account reduction of 24%.
- Negotiating a compromise agreement between the contractor and
employer, achieving £2m claims savings, avoidance of legal costs,
and assurance for the contractor’s financial position through
capped expectation, significantly reducing risk to the
project.
- Value engineering proposals for a league 1 Football Club
represented an overall saving in excess of £5m.
- Facilitating a collaborative approach with the client and
contractor allowed £1m of additional works at a university campus
to be incorporated with no additional programme time incurred.
