What does a project management consultant (PMC) do?
A PMC represents the owner on a building project. We plan the programme, control cost, manage contractors and consultants, check quality on site and report to the owner every week, so the building delivered is the one approved, on the agreed date and budget. See our services.
How is a PMC different from a contractor or an architect?
The architect designs and the contractor builds. A PMC works only for the owner and checks that both deliver what was agreed. We do not design or build, and we take no commission from contractors or suppliers.
When should I bring in a PMC?
As early as possible, ideally before design starts, because most cost and time is fixed by early decisions. We are also often brought in when a project is already late or over budget.
How are your fees calculated?
For full project management we charge either a fixed fee or a percentage of construction cost, agreed before we start. Single services such as a cost plan or a project review are quoted as fixed fees. Our cost estimator gives a rough range.
Do you take commissions from contractors or suppliers?
No. Our only income on your project is the fee you pay us.
Can you take over a project that is already under way?
Yes. We usually start with an independent review of programme, cost and quality, then agree a recovery plan with you. Our free project health check is a good first step.
Do you work on private homes?
Yes. For families building a villa or house we act as the owner's representative: helping choose the architect and contractor, checking bills and inspecting work on site.
Which cities do you work in?
We take on projects across India and staff each one with a team that has managed that type of building before.
What will I receive as the owner?
A one-page status every week covering progress against the programme, cost against budget, top risks and decisions needed, with detailed reports when you want them.
Can you help with RERA and approvals?
Yes. We track building approvals, fire NOC and other clearances as part of the programme, and prepare RERA progress documentation for developers.
