One team.
Multiple disciplines.
A single point of contact.
Consone brings together architecture, project management, cost management and contract administration under one roof. We provide one integrated team who design, plan, cost and manage your project in parallel, from day one.
Whether you're planning a high-end new build home or a small extension project, you get the benefit of joined-up thinking — without the usual overhead of managing multiple consultants yourself.
-
We mange your project from start to finish, keeping your project on track by coordinating consultants, contractors and approvals so you always know where things stand.
Acting as your lead consultant and right hand person
Project strategy, planning and programming
Advising on specific consultant or design team appointments
Procurement advice and contractor selection
Risk and quality management
Project coordination through to completion
-
We design spaces that are beautiful, functional and genuinely buildable, because design and delivery are considered together from the very first sketch. Cost is treated as a design driver from day one, not something checked after the drawings are done.
Feasibility studies and concept design
Planning applications and design development
Technical design and building regulations submissions
3D visualisation and detailing
Contract documentation and construction support
-
We give you clear, reliable cost information from the outset, so your budget shapes the design and project requirements.
Early-stage cost estimating and feasibility budgets
Cost planning, cashflow forecasting and value management
Tender documentation and analysis
Valuations and project cost control throughout construction
Final account settlement
-
We put in place a robust, project specific contract with the appointed principal contractor.
We then administer the contract throughout the construction period to keep the project on track and within budgetary parameters so there are no surprises at the end of the project.
Certifying interim payments
Programme control
Managing change control
Quality control
