Project Management
Each project manager in the Mitchell McDermott team is tasked with the oversight and coordination of the project team during all stages of the project.
In retail construction management, this role is crucial for the build’s success. Effective project management facilitates identifying and mitigating potential risks to proactively ensure project success.
Below are some key services our consultancy team provides.
DESIGN TEAM SELECTION
Choosing the right design team is critical to achieving success in a retail project. It is important to work with an architectural practice with robust experience in creating functional, effective, yet inviting retail spaces that are destinations in themselves, and not just a combination of shops. It is critical that the design is focused on generating footfall to all areas of the retail centre. Having the right design team onboard with expertise in retail can deliver this.
VALUE ENGINEERING
Value engineering is the process of optimising a project’s costs while maintaining its quality and performance.
For example, in a large-scale retail setting, this may entail suggesting a more economical solution for lighting to reduce energy costs and increase light quality. Value engineering helps achieve the client’s intended project objectives within or below budget.
SITE SELECTION
Location selection involves assessing various factors, such as zoning regulations, transport links, proximity to competitors and accessibility. Our services include due diligence to ensure that the selected location is aligned with client objectives.
Quantity Surveying
Our chartered quantity surveyors specialise in managing costs across all stages of retail construction projects. We focus on proactive budget control and strategic financial planning to maximise value and ensure alignment with client objectives. Our key service areas include:
BENCHMARKING
We benchmark costs against comparable retail projects to ensure the design remains efficient and cost-effective. This helps avoid over-specification and ensures best value for money.
RISK ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION
Our experts use their extensive skills and experience to identify potential commercial and delivery risks early in the project. We review these risks in detail and propose mitigations for handling them effectively.
COST ESTIMATION AND PLANNING
We develop detailed cost plans to provide clarity on budget requirements and inform key project decisions. As part of this process, we identify and incorporate potential cost risks by including appropriate allowances and contingencies. This approach enables accurate forecasting, effective cost control, and alignment with the project programme, helping to manage the budget throughout the project lifecycle.
