Project Consultancy: Client-Side Commercial Leadership
For businesses and landlords who need ongoing independent oversight across design, procurement, and delivery.
What Project Consultancy Is
Project Consultancy is full-scope client-side commercial leadership for businesses running commercial fit-out projects.
Unlike the Independent Fit-Out Review (which is a fixed-fee, pre-contract assessment), Project Consultancy is an ongoing engagement that covers:
- Commercial strategy and procurement planning
- Contractor selection and tender management
- Cost control and value engineering
- Programme oversight and risk management
- Contract negotiation and variation control
- Quality assurance and handover management
When This Is Most Valuable
Project Consultancy is ideal if:
- You're running a six- or seven-figure fit-out project
- You lack internal construction or commercial expertise
- You want someone working for you, not the contractor
- You need independent oversight from design through handover
- You want to protect your commercial interests at every stage
How It Works
OMMC acts as your commercial representative throughout the project lifecycle:
Pre-Contract Phase
- Review and challenge design proposals
- Manage tender process and contractor selection
- Negotiate contracts and commercial terms
- Identify cost savings and risk mitigation opportunities
Delivery Phase
- Monitor programme and cost performance
- Review and challenge variations before approval
- Coordinate between design team, contractor, and client
- Ensure quality standards and specification compliance
Handover Phase
- Manage snagging and defects resolution
- Verify final accounts and close-out documentation
- Ensure warranty and O&M information is complete
The Difference
Most project managers work for contractors or design teams.
OMMC works for you.
That means independent commercial judgement, no contractor incentives, and complete alignment with your interests.
Investment
Project Consultancy fees are structured based on project size, complexity, and scope of engagement.
Typical engagement models include fixed monthly retainers or percentage-based fees tied to project value.
