Project Management.
The critical, but often overlooked, process which ‘glues’ the many individual parts of a project together.
Engaging us at the earliest possible opportunity ensures that effective communication and coordination is maintained throughout, and that you gain maximum benefit from the efficiency which is at the heart of everything we do.
Acting as Project Managers, Employer’s Agents or Contract Administrators, we are at your side to monitor and control the whole process, leaving you free to run your business with minimum disruption whilst we deliver your project.
You can rely on our experience and expertise to ensure that your project is delivered in the most efficient, effective and stress-free manner possible.
Additional Services
Bid Management for contractors
and subcontractors
Another specialist service which is rarely, if ever, provided by construction consultants is the writing, coordination and management of bids and tender submissions.
With many years of experience in leading multi-disciplined bid teams for major construction contractors, our Managing Director, John Johnson has the knowledge and expertise to advise you on the best approach and strategy to maximise the opportunity from your bid submissions.
Managing a successful bid is not a part-time role to be undertaken by a member of the bid team or by someone within your organisation alongside their ‘day job’. In order to optimise the probability of success, it is a role which needs a dedicated and experienced resource who is in effect the ‘conductor of the orchestra’, and we are ideally placed to advise you of the approach to take to achieve the best outcome and improve your bidding success rate.
Design Management
A service rarely provided by quantity surveying practices, we co-ordinate and manage the whole of the design process from concept stage through to handover of your completed project on site.
Incorporating the procurement and appointment of professional design consultants, this approach ensures the seamless integration of all design disciplines into the construction solution and provides for efficient project delivery.
With ‘buildability’ integrated into the process from the outset, we ensure that the design aligns with best value construction solutions, minimises waste, maximises efficiency and saves you time and money.
Case Studies
Whether you are undertaking a residential or commercial construction project, Ashdan has successfully managed the procurement and delivery of a multitude of projects for clients in all sectors. Take a closer took at some of our case studies.
Our Clients
We employed Ashdan Consulting as Project Manager, QS and Employers' Agent on our first major construction project.
John’s approach was extremely professional, and the level of service was truly above and beyond our expectations.
He looked after us incredibly well from pre-tender stage all the way to completion. I can honestly say, as I contemplate our next project, that Ashdan Consulting will be our first port of call.
The level of knowledge and experience that John and his team bring is invaluable.
I couldn't be happier with the level of service provided by John and the team at Ashdan Consulting. Their extensive expertise and detailed construction knowledge was invaluable when helping me handle a dispute with my design and build contractor.
We couldn't have gotten through those stressful months without John's help and often moral support. My word of advice and guidance would be for anyone looking to embark on a build, get Ashdan Consulting to review your contract for works BEFORE the build commences, they will save you a fortune in the long run. First class service and can highly recommend.
We engaged Ashdan Consulting to advise us on a contractual issue on one of our projects and found this to be invaluable support.
Their advice was clear, prompt and professional, and it provided us with an excellent basis on which to progress our claim for entitlement under the contract.
They would certainly be my first choice to work with again, and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone needing contractual advice or claims services.
Our first project with Ashdan Consulting at Catherine House was via a personal recommendation, which has proved to be absolutely correct.
Their attention to detail and the service they have provided us on what is a very tricky project has been fantastic, and I will certainly be working with them again on our next development.
We have used the services of Ashdan Consulting several times over the past two years, ranging from a bit of guidance over the phone to more in depth and complex issues we have faced in relation to contractual disputes.
Every time the service and advice we have received has been fantastic. This has resulted in saving us time and money, and more importantly has reduced stress!
I have no hesitation in recommending John and the team for any of the services they offer.
I have known and worked with Ashdan Consulting for several years.
They have a proven track record in the construction industry, providing an excellent Commercial and Project Management service.
I continue to work with Ashdan to the present day and value their contribution to my business immensely.
We approached Ashdan Consulting to support us in the Quantity Surveying role required to complete the Milburngate project in Durham. They were required to liaise between the Client, our Project Manager and the legal teams to develop the contractual requirements for the project going forward, as well as managing the cost negotiations for the ongoing works. The expertise provided by Ashdan enabled us to confidently undertake the works required by the Client to progress their development through a very difficult situation. They kept us fully informed at all times and coordinated all commercial communications with the Client. With Ashdan’s support we were able to fully recover the costs we incurred in completing the works.
At all times Ashdan acted professionally in the way they conducted their business and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
Your report was excellent, thorough and clear, and it really helped us navigate the quantum matters, so thank you very much.
Our client was also very impressed with you and your work, which was great to hear
“I have recently been working with Ashdan Consulting Ltd on a complex construction claim where the company provided Expert Witness & Quantity Surveying Services. I was dealing with John Johnson the Managing Director who from the minute I spoke to him I knew he had a vast range of experience.
Having worked in the Construction Industry for over 30 years on several large projects John spoke the same language as myself and we both had exactly the same viewpoint on the various elements we were discussing which was very refreshing. I found John very diligent, knowledgeable and lived and breathed the claim that we were dealing with. John was supported by his team who worked diligently in the background to pull all the pieces of the required documentation together which was not an easy process. All of this was carried out under a very tight timeline, they reacted quickly when we asked him to look at alternative connotations.
I would not hesitate in recommending John in this role on similar projects and I hope one day I will work with him again”.
