Construction management from the same office that drew the building — so the person answering a question on site is the person who decided the thing being asked about.
Most trouble on a build happens in the gap between the drawings and the trades. Keeping design and delivery together closes that gap rather than managing it.
Programme, sequence, procurement and the things that need long lead times. A build that starts before this is planned spends the difference later.
You end up withProgramme and procurement planTrades appointed against a scope they have actually priced, with the drawings they will build from in their hands.
You end up withAppointed trades and issued drawingsCoordination, instructions and inspection, week by week. Problems are found by looking rather than by being told.
You end up withProgress reports and site recordsSnagging against the contract while there is still leverage, then the documentation that closes the project out properly.
You end up withSnag list closed, handover packSomebody has to be on site weekly and accountable for what they see. Remote owners need that more than anyone.
Procurement and appointment is its own piece of work, and doing it badly costs more than the fee.
Taking over a running site starts with establishing what has actually been done and what has been paid for.
Coordinating trades yourself is a full-time job with a steep learning curve.
C.F.L. has been designing and delivering buildings from Limassol since 2009 — long enough to know how the local authorities read a set of drawings.
Design, engineering, permits and inspection under one roof means one number to call when something needs deciding — and nobody able to point at somebody else.
Questions get answered against the intent of the drawings, by the people who set it, instead of being resolved by whoever is available.
We check what was built against what was drawn as a matter of course — the same discipline we sell as an independent service.
Timings depend on the plot, the size of the building and how quickly the authorities respond. Ask us for a schedule against your specific project.
On request
Every plot, brief and building is different, so we quote against yours rather than publishing a figure that would be wrong for most people. Tell us what you are building and we will come back with scope and cost.
