Areas of intervention

Which discipline does your project call on?

01

Cost estimating and project preparation

Assess a project’s technical scope and costs using the available documents, quantities and proposed methods. Distinguish assumptions, supplier enquiries and unresolved issues before construction is committed.

The profiles you might meet

  • Estimating manager
  • Construction methods engineer
  • Construction cost consultant

Deliverables to scope together

  • Cost breakdown and assumptions
  • Comparison of quotations by work package
  • Construction methods and site preparation documentation
02

Construction management and OPC coordination

Construction management may cover delivery, team management and procurement, depending on the remit; an OPC coordinator manages the sequence of activities and schedule interfaces. The brief defines the professional's role, authority and contacts within the project.

The profiles you might meet

  • Senior construction manager
  • Construction director
  • OPC coordinator

Deliverables to scope together

  • Activity schedule and construction milestones
  • Procurement tracking in construction management; interface and blocker tracking in OPC coordination
  • Coordination meeting minutes and outstanding items list
03

BIM coordination and model integration

Organise model exchange between disciplines and turn inconsistencies into issues the design teams can act on. Define modelling conventions, required formats and the process for handling review comments.

The profiles you might meet

  • BIM manager
  • BIM coordinator
  • Technical design coordination manager

Deliverables to scope together

  • BIM execution plan and exchange rules
  • Clash reports and comment tracking
  • Coordinated models and approval status

At which stage of your project do we step in?

  1. Before the project

    The file is being prepared: we find the expert who estimates and sets methods.

  2. During the project

    Site open: your agent tracks the milestones and adjusts the brief with you.

  3. After the project

    Building delivered: we organise the handover and, if needed, the permanent hire.

Before we talk

Which project and stage of construction?

Describe the project, work packages, schedule and available documents. Explain whom the professional represents, which decisions they can make, and whether it is a new build or an occupied refurbishment.

  1. Which structures, technical work packages and project phase define the requirement: estimating, preparation, construction or design coordination?
  2. Will the professional represent a contractor, the design and construction supervision team, or a coordination function, and which decisions can they make?
  3. Which documents, models and schedules will be available at the start, and what on-site presence is required?

Do you practise one of these roles?

  • Construction director
  • Senior construction manager
  • Estimating manager
  • BIM manager / BIM coordinator
  • OPC coordinator

We look for these profiles for our clients on a regular basis. Tell us about your achievements and the projects you have led: a talent agent calls you back to understand what you are looking for.

Frequently asked

Construction: your questions

Is an OPC coordinator a construction manager?

OPC mainly covers scheduling and coordination across project participants. A construction manager may also manage their contractor’s teams, resources and procurement. Tell us which of these roles your project needs.

Does a BIM assignment include producing every model?

Not automatically. BIM coordination can cover information exchange, conventions and issue resolution. Responsibility for producing and approving models must be explicitly assigned to each discipline.

Can an assignment cover refurbishment of an occupied site?

Assess the requirement against the structure and construction conditions. Describe access restrictions, simultaneous activities, working hours and contacts. This information helps identify comparable experience.

Which party does the professional work for in the project?

This depends on the remit: a contractor, the design and construction supervision team, or another coordination function. State this in the brief, along with the decisions they can make and the approval process.

How should electrical and thermal work packages be handled?

Describe the interfaces with other work packages and the missing expertise. An energy search can complement the construction scope with electrical or thermal studies or commissioning preparation.
