Friel Welch provides independent project management for private homes in Hampshire. We support renovations, extensions and new homes, helping you establish the scope, budget and programme before the work begins. Our directors work alongside your architect and specialist advisers to coordinate design, procurement and construction, with cost management available within the same appointment.

Start with a clear picture of the whole project

Early decisions shape much of what follows. The extent of the renovation, the standard of finish and the work needed to services and external areas all influence the budget and route to construction. We help turn your priorities into a coordinated brief, identify the investigations and specialist advice required, and establish the decisions needed before contractor appointments are made.

How we support your Hampshire project

Project and design management

We coordinate the professional team, programme and decisions needed to move your project forward. Architecture, interiors, structure and building services are considered together, with clear responsibilities and information requirements to support procurement and construction.

Quantity surveying and cost planning

We develop cost advice around the complete scope, including the house, interiors, services and external works. We make allowances and exclusions clear and consider the cost implications of design decisions before you commit, keeping the budget connected to the brief as it develops.

Tendering and procurement

We help prepare the scope and pricing information, manage tender queries and compare contractor proposals. Where returns differ, we examine the assumptions, exclusions and programme with the design team, giving you a clear basis for choosing how to proceed.

Construction and handover

Where appointed, we provide project management, cost management and contract administration during construction. We coordinate progress, reporting and client decisions, and help organise inspections, outstanding works and handover information within the agreed scope.

Director-led support

Founding directors Edward Friel and Adam Welch combine architectural, technical and commercial experience. We work with your existing advisers, agree a clear scope and provide practical recommendations as the project develops. Site visits, reporting and approvals are arranged around your circumstances, whether you are closely involved or managing the project from elsewhere.

Your questions

Can you help before we buy a property?

Yes. We can assess the likely cost, programme and delivery implications of proposed works, alongside surveyors and planning or heritage specialists. Early advice helps you understand the project commitments before proceeding with an acquisition.

Can you work with our existing architect and interior designer?

Yes. We work alongside the appointed team, agreeing responsibilities and coordinating information. This helps connect the design ambition with the budget, procurement plan and decisions needed from you.

Do we need fully completed drawings before tendering?

The information required depends on the procurement route. We review the design and scope, identify unresolved items and help the team prepare an appropriate pricing package, with assumptions and outstanding decisions made clear.

Can you join at the tender stage?

Yes. We can review tender readiness, manage the tender process or analyse returns under a defined appointment. We first establish what information is available and where clarification is needed.
