Project Management FAQs
Project management is the process of planning, coordinating, and overseeing a construction or refurbishment project from start to finish. It ensures timelines, budgets, quality, and compliance are all met, turning designs into completed buildings with minimal disruption to you.
The cost of project management services will vary depending on the project type, scale, and level of involvement required. On average, fees are calculated as a percentage of the build cost (typically 8-15%) or as a fixed package. Each project is unique, so we’ll provide a tailored quote based on your requirements.
Nationally, project management fees range between 8% and 15% of the total project value, depending on complexity. Smaller residential projects like loft conversions are usually at the lower end, while larger commercial facade or structural works are higher. PDK prepares detailed plans and specifications, so you know exactly what to expect before proceeding.
The main factors are the project type, scale, complexity, location, and required level of coordination. Adding specialist elements such as curtain walling, dormers, structural alterations, or full on-site oversight increases costs. We always strike a balance between ambition and cost-effectiveness, so your investment delivers maximum value.
There are several project types that benefit greatly from professional coordination and management. Options include:
- Residential loft conversions and extensions: ensuring smooth delivery of additional living space.
- Structural alterations: managing modifications to existing buildings safely and compliantly.
- Commercial facade projects: coordinating curtain walling, rainscreen cladding, and bracketry installations.
- Full refurbishments: overseeing multi-trade projects from design to handover.
Our team will recommend the right level of project management and coordination for your property after a comprehensive assessment.
