Project and cost management

Mott MacDonald is leading a £50 million, nine year programme, English in Action, which is aimed at teaching many of the poorest people in Bangladesh “vocational English” skillsOur project management services embrace every facet and every phase of project delivery. We drive the whole process, taking care of everything from preparing the brief and analysing and advising on risk and associated issues to helping appoint the project team, briefing them fully, agreeing and issuing specific procedures and managing development of phase programmes.

We provide the full spectrum of project management disciplines backed by advanced systems, reliable and accurate data and innovative management techniques to ensure we give our customers all the support they need through the whole life cycle of their projects, from inception to post-completion aftercare. We provide a comprehensive suite of project and loan monitoring services designed to address the relevant issues before and after financial commitment. We have a proven track record in providing these services for a wide range of customers, from banks and financial institutions to tenants and end users.

In terms of managing costs, our cost consultants at Franklin + Andrews have extensive experience in the full spectrum of education projects in both public and private sectors from minor school refurbishments and extensions to construction of new buildings or entire campuses.

We draw on the traditional disciplines of quantity surveying including quantification, estimating, construction economics, procurement and contractual issues combining these with benchmarking against similar products, tailored procurement advice, risk and value management plus a sound commercial and analytical approach. We fully understand the complexities of each project, appreciating their differing requirements and priorities. For example extensions and refurbishments must take account of the need to maintain a working learning environment with continuing access for staff, pupils and other stakeholders.
