Our Technical Management Services
We provide comprehensive technical management support to ensure projects are delivered smoothly from planning through construction and completion. Acting as a central technical authority, we help manage risk, maintain design intent and support efficient decision-making during delivery.
Our role bridges the gap between design and construction – ensuring that what is built aligns with what was planned, approved and procured.
Construction-Stage Technical Leadership
As projects move into construction, technical risk increases. Our Technical Management Services provide clients with consistent, experienced oversight throughout RIBA Stages 5 and 6, supporting both client-led and contractor-led delivery models.
We work closely with the full project team to:
- Resolve technical queries efficiently and proportionately
- Manage design changes and assess technical implications
- Maintain compliance with regulations, standards and approvals
- Protect programme, cost and quality objectives
This proactive approach reduces disruption on site and supports predictable delivery.
Design Coordination & Change Control
Effective technical management depends on clear coordination and robust change control. We provide:
- Review and response to contractor design queries and RFIs
- Technical assessment of value engineering proposals
- Design change impact reviews on performance, compliance and coordination
- Ongoing alignment with planning conditions and statutory approvals
All changes are assessed in the context of the original design intent, ensuring that short-term decisions do not undermine long-term performance.
Site Support & Inspections
We provide hands-on support during construction to identify and resolve issues early, including:
- Site inspections and technical walkthroughs
- Review of installation quality and compliance
- Early identification of coordination or access issues
- Support during commissioning and system integration
This allows potential problems to be addressed before they escalate into programme or handover risks.
Handover, Commissioning & Close-Out
The final stages of a project are critical to long-term building performance. Our technical management role extends through to completion and handover, supporting:
- Review of commissioning strategies and outcomes
- Verification of as-built information
- Review of operation and maintenance documentation
- Support during practical completion and post-completion periods
This ensures that buildings are handed over performing as intended, with clear, usable technical information for ongoing operation.
Flexible Support to Suit the Project
Our Technical Management Services can be tailored to suit project scale, risk profile and procurement route, including:
- Employer’s Technical Advisor roles
- Lead MEP Technical Authority appointments
- Targeted support during high-risk construction phases
- Independent third-party technical reviews
This flexibility allows clients to access the right level of expertise exactly where it adds most value.
