What we do

Project management

Customised project delivery including advice on procurement and risk transfer to deliver projects of the right quality and functional standards within programme and budget.

The focus of our clients on their own business has meant the gradual out-sourcing of the Project Management role to specialist consultancies, to take advantage of their skills and experience in their own core business.

Project Managers now form the core of any construction team, coordinating the entire project while balancing costs, quality and deadlines and keeping the client closely informed. Increasingly, their work also covers broader activities such as facilities management, maintenance contracts and managing sub-contractors.

Ridge's project managers effectively become client staff members: using their business and technical skills to protect their client's interests and lead the team on their behalf.
