Project and Cost Management in Oxfordshire
Friel Welch provides project management, quantity surveying and design coordination for private homes in Oxfordshire. We support renovations, extensions and new homes, from advice before purchase through to construction and handover.
Working alongside your architect, interior designer and specialist advisers, we connect the design with the budget, programme and procurement strategy. Our directors help you understand the decisions ahead and prepare the project for delivery.
Bring design, cost and delivery together
A successful project needs a clear brief, a coordinated design and a realistic budget. Decisions about specification, specialist works and contractor appointments should be considered together.
We help establish what needs to be resolved, who is responsible and when decisions are required. Before tendering, we coordinate the scope and pricing information so contractor proposals can be compared on a clear basis.
How we support your Oxfordshire 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 plans alongside the design, considering the building, fit-out, external works and infrastructure. We explain allowances, exclusions and contingency, helping you understand the budget and the cost implications of decisions before committing to changes.
Tendering and procurement
We help define the scope, prepare pricing information and manage tender queries. We analyse contractor proposals, clarify differences and coordinate value engineering with the design team, giving you a clear basis for choosing a contractor and agreeing the works.
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.
