Our project management service drives the whole project delivery process

Whatever our clients' ambitions and challenges, we bring together the right combination of sector knowledge and expertise. Our skilled project managers listen, understand the brief and take ownership of driving this through to delivery.

Developed through over 20 years of industry experience, we use our best practice approaches to ensure that we deliver projects which are fully aligned with our clients' budgets, ethos and values. Never satisfied with just ‘doing the job’ we seek to address today’s global challenges by creating innovative and sustainable solutions that meet our clients' needs.

Our understanding of the importance and value of managing and fostering collaborative relationships in complex stakeholder environments has resulted in clients coming back to us again and again.

Complex projects need smart strategies

We offer clients innovative, entrepreneurial and exciting strategic advice that is underpinned by our belief that together we create value through places where communities thrive. We achieve this by leveraging our wider business expertise as a Developer and Asset Manager, Construction Consultancy Services provider and Investment Manager.

We understand that advising on creating a clear strategy at the earliest possible stage is key to delivering complex projects. We develop a client's strategy by identifying risks and opportunities and understanding the environment in which we are collectively delivering their project or programme.

Our services will always be tailored to our clients' needs to ensure we are offering value for money and providing the skillset they need. This could range from creating a business case for a client looking to explore opportunities, to providing a team to assist the client through the delivery of a major new programme.

We help our clients make informed decisions and control costs

Effective cost management is key to the delivery of our clients' projects and ensuring we meet their objectives.

A key attribute of the cost consultant should be to be pre-emptive rather than reactive. As cost consultants we work to identify potential issues at the earliest opportunity, facilitated by a collaborative approach with our wider client and design team. Through this dynamic approach to managing cost and budget we enable our clients and empower them to make sound and informed business decisions in a controlled and considered manner.

Cost management is a core component of our project delivery function and is a key part of the service we offer across most of our Lendlease project commissions.

Providing confidence that projects are designed and delivered safely

Our CDM Advisory services provide any project with an opportunity to draw on the skill, knowledge and experiences of our team, to enhance the health and safety success of the project. We assist duty holders to fully understand their responsibilities and to maintain CDM compliance.

At Lendlease we deliver CDM advisory services to align to each duty holder, providing advice and guidance to comply with their duties. We provide Principal Designer and Principal Designer Advisor services working closely with clients and architects to plan, manage and monitor the specific duties and ensure CDM Compliance.

Our approach with our CDM services is not only to provide a service but to educate and train others in their understanding of CDM 2015. This is born out of the varied client base we have and also our repeat and new business. We work with architectural practices to review and update their CDM processes and develop organisation to meet the specific CDM requirements.

Your road map to net zero carbon and beyond

At Lendlease we know how to push the boundaries of embodied carbon reduction and are excited to see how far we can go. For every volume of CO2e we omit from a project we are omitting from the planet and that’s a good thing for us all.

With a deep seated knowledge based on our understanding of end-to-end construction project cycles we can confidently say that even before we have been selected for a project we have probably already considered or assessed a project's initial carbon position.

We can offer our clients roadmaps of how we can achieve lower carbon targets, which can then be broken down into more detailed analysis. Our Life Cycle Assessment approach and in-house assessment tools will create outcomes and allow clients to collect data that is easily trackable and measurable for a future calculation of their carbon footprint.

Our teams have the tools needed to produce upfront analysis of our clients' projects. This enables early decision making and helps reduce both carbon and waste throughout the programme. Our specialists will work with you to set hard commitments and to achieve market leading diversion of waste.

Digital transformation is the process of using digital technologies to create new or modify existing business processes, culture, and customer experiences to meet changing business and market requirements and deliver value.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) sits at the heart of digital transformation across the UK built environment and infrastructure sectors. For the construction industry, it provides a critical opportunity to significantly improve performance and stimulate more innovative ways of delivery and operation.

Having led the industry and created benefits of BIM for ourselves, Lendlease Consulting can offer this experience and knowledge and provides BIM consultancy services to support other organisations on their digital transformation journeys.

Our Lendlease Programme or Project Management Office (PMO) offers rigorous best practice controls that enable the delivery of efficient and successful projects and programmes.

With each opportunity, we apply the discipline of PMO to achieve our clients' KPIs, aspirations and values. We improve performance, drive change and realise efficiencies. We do this by integrating our project control team within the broader project team, providing a range of programme, cost, commercial and technical services to ensure projects are delivered effectively.

Regardless of the scale or complexity of a project, we employ and refine systems and processes to provide control, governance and transparency from inception to completion.
