Project Management

Building Appraisal and Due Diligence

Prior to committing to new premises it is imperative that a thorough assessment be made of the adequacy of the building options which present themselves. This includes Air-conditioning, Energy Efficiency, Lift Performance, Technology Backbone, and Power at the very minimum. Knowledge of these aspects at the design and planning stage saves time and avoids the need to make cost changes later in the project.

Program and Cost Management

The success or failure of any project often comes down to forward planning. Powerhouse Group establishes a clearly defined Project Timeline very early on in the project and ensures key milestones are met to keep the project on the critical path. We also put comprehensive cost controls in place so that the project is delivered within the approved budget and that any requested changes are managed closely, with variation costs being approved by client before instructions are issued.

Pre-lease Building Appraisal

Utilising your needs as defined in the Test Fit Brief, Powerhouse Group is in a position to assess each property against a set of clearly defined design criteria. When combined with our expertise in building services, we can help you make a holistic assessment of the options in order to select the most appropriate property, covering its value to your organisation in both financial and non-financial terms.

Powerhouse Group co-ordinates the entire approvals process ensuring all legal and other requirements and regulations are adhered to.

Being Green Star accredited, our staff can help your organisation create an environmentally certified office should this be an aspiration or public commitment for your business.

Change Management

At its most basic, change management provides a framework for managing the people side of the transition you undertake in your workplace. There are a number of important aspects to consider, which left ignored can have a direct impact on staff morale, motivation and retention. Managed poorly, change can impact your client and other relationships and impact your bottom line.
