Project management for private homes in Surrey
Friel Welch provides independent project management for private homes in Surrey. We support substantial renovations, extensions and new homes, bringing the design, budget and programme into one coordinated plan. Working alongside your architect, interior designer and specialist advisers, our directors help you prepare the project, appoint the right team and make informed decisions through construction and handover.
A considered approach to your home
A home renovation involves more than the building works. Interiors, building services, landscaping and specialist installations all need to be coordinated with the main design. We help establish the complete scope early, identify the decisions that affect cost and programme, and agree who is responsible for each part of the work. If you plan to remain in the property during construction, phasing and access form part of those discussions.
How we support your Surrey 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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
