Project management for private homes in West Sussex
Friel Welch provides independent project management for private homes and estates in West Sussex. We work with private clients and family offices on substantial renovations, extensions and new homes, coordinating the team and the decisions needed to move the project forward. Our directors bring design understanding and commercial experience to the appointment, working alongside your architect, interior designer and specialist advisers.
Bring the detail into one coordinated plan
Work to a house and its grounds often involves several teams. Building alterations, interiors, services and landscape works need clear responsibilities and a shared programme, particularly when the work is phased. We help define the full scope and coordinate the information needed for procurement and construction. Where an existing or historic building needs further investigation, we work with your appointed specialists to connect their findings with the design, cost and programme.
How we support your West Sussex 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 a clear view of the budget for the house and associated works, making allowances, exclusions and remaining uncertainties explicit. As the design develops, we explain the commercial implications of proposed changes so that decisions about specification, scope and procurement can be considered together.
Tendering and procurement
We help bring the design and scope into a suitable pricing package, coordinate tender queries and assess contractor proposals. We examine the interfaces between the main works and specialist packages, with responsibilities and outstanding decisions made clear before appointment.
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.
