Project Management
Experienced people. Practical project delivery.
Virtus Consult provides independent project and programme management services across the construction and property sectors.
From individual refurbishment projects to complex developments and national capital investment programmes, we help clients plan, procure, manage and deliver construction work.
Our involvement can begin with the initial brief and feasibility studies or at any subsequent stage of a project. We can work alongside an established professional team or take responsibility for assembling, appointing and managing the designers and other consultants required to deliver the scheme.
Our experience includes major new developments, technically complex refurbishments, projects undertaken in operational environments and multi-site capital programmes. We bring together the technical, commercial and practical considerations that influence successful delivery, ensuring clients have clear information, effective management and the support needed to make decisions throughout the project.
Our Services
Project & Programme Management
We provide day-to-day leadership and coordination of construction projects, managing the people, information and decisions needed to maintain progress.
Our services include developing the project brief, establishing delivery strategies, preparing and maintaining programmes, managing risk, coordinating project teams, monitoring progress and overseeing construction through to completion.
For clients managing multiple projects or property portfolios, we can establish consistent procurement, reporting and management arrangements across wider capital programmes. Our experience includes national refurbishment and development programmes delivered across multiple locations, often within operational properties where disruption must be carefully managed.
Turnkey Project Delivery
Not every client has the time or internal resources to assemble and manage a full professional team.
Virtus can provide a coordinated multidisciplinary consultancy service, including identifying, recommending, appointing and managing architects, engineers and other specialist consultants, alongside the procurement and management of construction works.
This provides clients with an experienced point of contact and coordinated management throughout the project, with appointments and responsibilities agreed to suit the commission.
Employer’s Agent & Contract Administration
We undertake Employer’s Agent and Contract Administrator appointments, supporting clients in the administration and management of construction contracts.
Depending on the form of contract and appointment, our services include managing instructions, monitoring progress, administering changes, assessing contractual matters, issuing certificates and overseeing completion procedures.
We provide clear advice on contractual responsibilities and help clients maintain appropriate records and controls throughout the works.
Design Management
We manage and coordinate the development of design information so that the project team understands what is required, who is responsible and when information must be available.
Our services include management of design programmes, coordination of multidisciplinary teams, design reviews, monitoring outstanding information, resolving technical interfaces and managing design queries.
We can provide Design Management as part of a wider Project Management appointment or as a defined standalone service.
Procurement & Project Controls
Early decisions on procurement, programme and project organisation can have a significant influence on delivery.
We advise on procurement strategies, consultant and contractor selection, tender processes, project programming, risk management and reporting procedures.
During delivery, we monitor key activities, identify emerging issues and help the project team manage change, maintain programme visibility and understand the implications of decisions.
