PRINCIPAL DESIGNER / CLIENT-SIDE PROJECT MANAGEMENT 01487 450046

ALTARIS ADVISORY / CLIENT-SIDE PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Your project. Delivered.

Independent project management for commercial fit-outs, refurbishments, brand conversions and multi-site programmes. Experienced client-side oversight from initial scope through to completion.

Independent project oversight

Your priorities. Our focus.

Commercial projects demand more than an agreed programme. Decisions, approvals, procurement, costs and site activity all need to be coordinated around the client's objectives. Altaris provides experienced client-side management to bring structure and accountability to that process.

Our background is rooted in commercial property and the practical delivery of hospitality, retail and leisure projects. We understand the challenge of carrying out works around operating businesses and the need to keep key stakeholders informed.

A practical extension of your team, representing the client's interests throughout the agreed commission.

Where we add value

Commercial experience that translates to delivery.

We work across commercial refurbishment and fit-out projects, with particular experience in the sectors where programme, trading and brand standards intersect.

01 / FIT-OUTS

Fit-outs & refurbishments

Planning and coordinating work to existing commercial premises, including operational and occupied environments.

02 / CONVERSIONS

Brand conversions

Supporting changes of brand, concept or trading format while coordinating designers, contractors, operators and landlords.

03 / PROGRAMMES

Multi-site programmes

Providing consistent oversight for rolling refurbishments, repeat fit-outs and coordinated works across commercial estates.

What our PM support can include

From the first brief to handover.

The service is tailored to the project. Depending on your requirements, the agreed scope may include:

  • Defining project scope, objectives and delivery requirements
  • Developing and tracking the project programme
  • Coordinating tendering, procurement and contractor appointments
  • Budget oversight and reporting against agreed allowances
  • Coordinating designers, landlords, contractors and stakeholders
  • Progress reporting, issue management, completion and handover

Defined roles. Clear responsibility.

Independent support. Agreed scope.

Altaris acts as the client's consultant, not the building contractor, detailed designer, quantity surveyor or contract administrator. Specialist design, statutory appointments and certification remain with the appropriately appointed parties.

CDM Principal Designer duties can be provided by Altaris under a separate written appointment. We do not currently offer Building Regulations Principal Designer services.

Common questions

Project management, explained.

What does a client-side Project Manager do?

We represent the client's interests in coordinating the agreed project scope, programme, budget oversight, stakeholders, procurement and delivery. The precise activities depend on the commission and are defined in our proposal.

Can Altaris manage several fit-outs or refurbishments at once?

Yes. We can discuss support for rolling or multi-site programmes, subject to the scale, locations, programme and resources required.

How are Project Management fees agreed?

Each project is scoped individually. We agree the services, period of involvement, attendance requirements and fee arrangement before appointment. There is no instant online quotation for Project Management.

Can Altaris also act as CDM Principal Designer?

Yes, where appropriate and separately agreed in writing. Project Management does not automatically include appointment as CDM Principal Designer.
