Programme advice should allow for condition risks where opening-up is likely. Consent strategy must also reflect the local planning context.

Common Building Issues in Nine Elms

Where Nine Elms buildings show structural movement in new-build towers on former industrial riverside ground, cladding system performance on post-2010 luxury apartment blocks, moisture ingress in converted Victorian industrial buildings, our project management approach builds contingency and investigation time into the programme up front, rather than treating discovery of the issue as an unforeseen delay.

Local Project Context

What delivery looks like on Nine Elms projects

Running works on Nine Elms buildings means managing three calendars at once: the contractor's programme, the consent and condition timetable, and the building's own tolerance for disruption.

Programme honesty beats programme optimism in Nine Elms: a schedule that respects Wandsworth approval timescales and the realities of working in occupied buildings is the one that finishes when it said it would.

The role is client-side throughout: we hold the contractor to specification and programme on your behalf, and where HCS is considered for a separate works appointment, contract administration must be undertaken by an independent surveyor - a published conflict rule, not a footnote.

Local Delivery Constraints

Works in occupied buildings need phasing to be treated as a design input.

Procurement

Contract selection sized to the works: JCT forms chosen for the project, not by habit.

Contract Administration

Payment certainty both ways: contractors paid promptly for verified work keep their best gangs on your job.

Risk Management

A live risk register that names owners and dates, reviewed at every progress meeting.
