The Planning Phase

At Thomson DB we manage building projects, end-to-end.  That is, we are happy to take the initial call to discuss your ideas, we turn those ideas into a 3-dimensional drawing to ensure that all of your ideas are captured at the outset.  We take particular care to keep the designs within your budget and paying close attention to the surrounding area to guarantee a successful project.

From here we employ an architect to create the planning drawings taking particular care to achieve the necessary permission during the first application.

The Contractual Phase

Working with our partners we will obtain costs from the most appropriate sub-contractors for your project.  This is sometimes made up of a single team with experience of your particular project or individual teams that will undertake work in their specialist area.

In consultation with the client the sub-contractor(s) will be selected with dates being agreed to commence the work and agree the completion.

The Build

Our project manager is the liaison between client, sub-contractor, planning and building control.  The PM is responsible for ensuring that each party is satisfied that their requirements are being met.  For the client, this is clear; high quality work being delivered on time.  For the sub-contractor; the PM will ensure that everything runs smoothly thus avoiding any unnecessary delays.  For Building control; the PM is usually present for inspections, ensuring that all work meets the required standard.

The PM will create a project plan to be shared with all parties and breaking the project down into phases, showing clear points at which finances will be required to keep the project moving.
