Construction Management

Construction Management is a delivery model that enables clients to engage trade contractors directly, rather than relying on a single head contractor. This approach provides greater flexibility over procurement, clearer visibility of construction costs, and more control over project staging and sequencing.

By removing the traditional main contractor layer, this model can reduce overhead and contractor margin mark-ups, improving cost efficiency—especially useful in fluctuating market conditions where material prices and subcontractor availability can change rapidly. Direct engagement also allows clients to respond more easily to design changes or scope adjustments during delivery.

This model is well suited to complex, bespoke, or fast-track developments where early trade involvement is critical to resolving design interfaces and construction methodology. It supports parallel progression of design and procurement, which can accelerate overall programme delivery when managed effectively.

As your Construction Manager, Conowise acts as the client’s agent—overseeing procurement, coordination, cost control, programme tracking, and site administration. We manage communication across multiple trade contractors, maintain safety and compliance standards, and ensure works are sequenced in line with the overall delivery strategy.

This model requires well-defined roles and clear accountability frameworks. We provide contract administration, quantity surveying, and interface management to minimise risk exposure while maintaining transparency and control. Our proactive oversight enables timely decision-making and reduces delays from trade overlaps or scope gaps.

For clients seeking cost certainty, delivery flexibility, and detailed project oversight, Construction Management provides a responsive alternative to traditional contracting. With Conowise coordinating procurement and delivery, you retain control while benefitting from expert guidance, structured systems, and a performance-focused culture.
