Save time and money on new build and refurb projects in Educational Estates
employ a CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE
a more efficient way to deliver major new buildings on campus
TREVOR NICHOLSON
Formerly Director, Head of Placemaking CBRE London
Schools and Universities in the UK are constantly improving their facilities to offer a higher standard of education, but is it reasonable or realistic to expect the Bursar or Estates Manager to deliver large scale building projects in their spare time?
Used extensively in the USA, a Client Representative is a fresh, more cost-efficient way of delivering major projects on campus - driven by efficiency and accountability, not habit.
Bursars and Estates Managers rarely have the time or detailed expertise to specify and oversee design and building work, read the Contractor’s small print and…negotiate the price.
A fully insured independent Client Representative guides them through the key stages and runs the professional team for any capital project on campus.
COST NEUTRAL
Clients usually save significantly more than our fee from cost and programme savings we negotiate and control -the project is also more likely to be delivered on time and on budget.
