Design

Clients need to make decisions early on in the design process, and we encourage early input from the practice to provide clients with surveys, investigations, feasibility studies and reports to facilitate this key and developmental phase of the project.

When designers are involved at the earliest planning stage, they gain more opportunities to understand clients businesses, helping to develop creative solutions, and propose ways to reduce costs.

Our designers have consistently produced projects that maximise land usage, allowing for clients budgetary and site constraints, whilst complying with current planning legislation.

We can create total environments, interior and exterior, which are pleasing and functional for the people who work and do business within them.

 


Cost control

Alphega provides complete cost management incorporating the generation of cost models, value management, risk management, and life cycle costing.

Cost management includes all project costs, not simply the construction costs of the building works; the out-turn cost, comprising works costs, fees, land and non-works costs, equipment costs, development contingencies and VAT.

Option studies of proposed solutions to the client requirements are prepared producing each solution's out-turn cost. Each study involves cost modeling, value management and risk management techniques to produce realistic budgets.

Identification of accurate costs is only half the story. Once identified, costs need to be managed to eliminate the risk of over expenditure. This requires awareness, foresight, pro-action and constant monitoring.

 


Project Management

Project management is defined as the planning, scheduling, management and control of all the resources available for a project, to ensure that the project complies completely with all budget, time and quality specifications, thereby satisfying the requirements of the client while taking the demands of society into account.

A team of highly qualified and experienced personnel offers a comprehensive and effective project management service. Coupled with a powerful IT backup system, and networking with specialist organisations where necessary, a complete skills profile is offered to meet even the most complex of development challenges.

We undertake projects based upon internationally recognised guidelines. These guidelines provide a project management approach that ensures that the project progresses through three distinct phases, namely the initial phase, the intermediate phase and the final phase. These three phases together form what is generally known as the Project Life-Cycle.
