Frequently Asked Questions
If you're wondering it, you're not the first — and we've got the answer.
General Questions
Understanding OMMC's approach and what makes us different.
Are you a main contractor?
No — we're the opposite.
We act as your direct client-side delivery partner, managing your fit-out or refurbishment using net trade procurement, lean systems, and transparent pricing.
You keep full control — we protect your capital and deliver smarter.
What types of projects do you take on?
We specialise in commercial and industrial refurbishments, CAT A & B fit-outs, and multi-use premises like offices, training centres, and retail workspaces.
Typical project values are between £250K and £2.5M, but we'll assess anything lean-deliverable.
Do you do residential work?
Occasionally, if the scope and structure suit our model. Our sweet spot is commercial and industrial spaces — where we can save serious capital.
Can you work alongside my existing contractor or consultant?
Yes — we offer Strategic Advisory and Project Consultancy to support your team, review scopes, or provide commercial oversight.
Cost, Pricing & Value
Understanding our transparent pricing and how we deliver value.
How do your fees work?
We use fixed pricing and percentage-of-project-value models — but with total transparency.
Unlike contractors, we don't mark up trades or materials — and we often save clients £150K–£300K+ on delivery.
How does your Turnkey model work?
Our Turnkey Delivery model means we run your entire project — from design coordination to build, compliance, and handover.
But here's the key difference:
Our 10% delivery fee isn't an added cost — it's paid out of the savings we unlock.
We eliminate:
- Contractor margin stacking
- Duplicated prelims
- Overpriced trades
- Time bloat from poor sequencing
Using AI-enhanced systems and 30 years of experience, we consistently save clients 15–25%+ — more than covering our delivery fee.
In short:
- ✅ You keep control
- ✅ Trades get paid directly
- ✅ We make the project cheaper and better — not just easier
What is the £300K Audit?
It's our flagship forensic quote review.
We dissect your contractor proposal line by line to uncover:
- Hidden markups
- Inflated scopes
- Misaligned specs
- Overpriced prelims
Most clients recover its value 10X over — or more.
Is there a minimum project size?
We work best on projects over £250K, but offer feasibility snapshots and advisory sessions for earlier or smaller-stage support.
Do you charge VAT?
Yes — all prices quoted are +VAT, unless otherwise stated.
Process & Delivery
How we manage projects and ensure successful delivery.
Do you deliver the project solo?
Yes — that's the point.
We use trusted, proven trade partners and deliver using our lean system: no bloated teams, no site agents, no margin stackers.
It's more agile, more accountable, and far more cost-efficient.
Do you still attend site meetings and handle compliance?
Yes — site visits, H&S, CDM, and compliance are all part of the offer, depending on the engagement.
We're fully insured, qualified, and experienced across all project phases.
Can I still choose my own suppliers or design team?
Absolutely. We're flexible — you stay in control, we make it happen.
How quickly can you start?
Most audit services can begin within 48 hours of receiving your project information. Consultancy and delivery services typically start within 1-2 weeks.
Do you work outside Newcastle Upon Tyne?
Yes, we work across the UK. While based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, we regularly handle projects nationwide and can provide remote oversight with periodic site visits.
What if I'm not happy with the audit results?
We stand behind our work. If our audit doesn't identify significant savings opportunities, we'll refund your fee in full.
