The project design is only one of several key deliverables, and notwithstanding the design, the project cost is chief amongst them. Therefore, owners need to understand that while their Architect will often have a contractual obligation to “review” a budget and schedule at the completion of each design phase, they are by no means responsible for creating the preliminary budget and construction schedule. Nor are they responsible for further developing and tightening up that budget and schedule as the design progresses.

As Architects continue to explore the boundaries of design and construction materials and processes we see more elaborate, organic structures appearing around us, such as the Sage in Gateshead, the Gherkin in London and the Burj al Arab in Dubai. Consequently this challenges Model Makers to produce accurate representations of these very fluid forms. Our team of highly skilled Model Makers have vast experience in producing traditional architectural models and by combining these traditional skills with our in-house additive manufacturing technologies we are able to produce concepts and site models to your exacting requirements regardless of the complexity of the form. Whether it’s a simple block model or finely detailed structure in single colour or fully painted and detailed, we can tailor our solution for you.

Construction Management at-risk is a delivery method which entails a commitment by the construction manager to deliver the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price . The construction manager acts as a consultant to the owner in the development and design phases (preconstruction services), and as a general contractor during construction. When a construction manager is bound to a GMP, the fundamental character of the relationship is changed. In addition to acting in the owner’s best interest, the construction manager must control construction costs to stay within the GMP.
