Our programme management services deliver successful projects by ensuring our clients achieve effective programming, sustainability, development, cost and building solutions. Our role is that of advocate and arbitrator: continually evaluating and balancing conflicting requirements to achieve our clients’ construction goals.

We control and manage cost at all stages of a project. Our cost management services include cost control, tender documentation, risk and value management. We incorporate change management procedures into project procurement to allow full cost control and to enable informed, timely decisions to be made.

Our project management professionals provide expertise to plan, design, build and manage construction and renovation projects with a proven track record for delivering projects on time and on budget.

With service providers, we offer complete project management services, from preliminary planning to project close-out. We provide a single point of contact with decades of knowledge earned through hands-on project delivery experience in virtually every aspect of designing, building, and completing a diverse range of facilities. Combined with sensitivity to client needs, our integrated project team approach allows us to deliver effective solutions within scope, schedule, and budget on all types of projects from minor renovations to complete building complexes.
We provide project management throughout the project lifecycle:

• Coordinate and liaison with local jurisdictions.
• Site selection, acquisition and negotiation.
• Development and coordination of EOIs, RFQs, RFPs for design consultants, construction managers, and contractors.
• Site investigation including environmental, civil, and surveying.
• Contract administration, including progress payment review and processing, coordination of change orders, monthly reports, and management of project site meetings.
• Coordination and monitoring of project budget and cash flow.
• Project completion, including substantial completion, release of lien holdback(s), deficiency management, warranties, and O&M manuals.

We know that construction subcontract management, through both administration and coordination, is a key element to finishing a job efficiently and quickly. We begin with a specific subcontracting strategy during the conceptual and preliminary engineering phase of each project to ensure a smooth process the whole way through.

A proper subcontracting strategy identifies contractor requirements, helps define project scope, results in a more accurate estimate and schedule, prioritizes engineering deliverables and due dates, defines site logistic requirements and defines contractor interface points.

We bring the project team together early in order to define scope and project requirements. We find this prevents and minimizes future scope changes. Once we have defined scope and project requirements, we identify a qualified contractor for the subcontract. We do not stop there — during contract execution, we have the experience to manage and coordinate contractors to meet project safety and quality goals, supervise contract budgets and manage schedules. Finally, even after the contractor is demobilized, APN Group provides performance evaluations and Lessons Learned reports for future execution planning.
