One point of accountability, from planning to opening day
You keep running your business; we run the build — one point of accountability for cost, schedule and quality, on your side of the table from planning through to opening day.
Who it's for
Business owners and practitioners planning a new fitout or construction project, relocating, or expanding — particularly in medical, childcare, commercial and industrial premises — who need someone representing their interests through the build, not the builder's. It suits owners who don't have the time, trade relationships or in-house expertise to run a fitout or construction project alongside the day-to-day of their business, and who want a single accountable point of contact rather than juggling architects, certifiers and multiple trade contracts themselves. It's also the question most owners are really asking when they search for a client-side project manager in Sydney: who is going to run this on my side of the table, not the builder's.
What's included
We act as your client-side project manager, sitting on your side of the table throughout the fitout or construction project — engaging and managing contractors, tracking spend against budget, and holding the build to its program. Where clients want it handled fully, we run the whole delivery process on their behalf, drawing on a network of tradespeople and suppliers experienced across medical, childcare, commercial and industrial fitouts and construction — from infection control and accessibility through to specialist equipment, essential services and compliance sign-off before opening. If your project is specifically a medical, dental or allied health fitout, our medical & healthcare project management service covers that sector in more depth.

"Full project management means one point of accountability for cost, schedule and quality — rather than managing trades and timelines yourself, on top of running your business."
Pricing and process aren't published — every fitout or construction project is scoped directly.
Built for compliance-driven and operational premises
Alongside medical and healthcare fitouts, client-side project management is where we do our deepest work in two other sectors — each with its own compliance load and none of it forgiving of a missed detail.
Commercial & Childcare Fitouts
Office, retail and business-premises fitouts bring their own sequencing and make-good pressures — coordinating trades around an operating tenancy, base-building compliance, and landlord sign-off. Childcare centres add a further layer again: compliance with the Education and Care Services National Law and Regulations, National Quality Standard requirements for indoor and outdoor space ratios, secure perimeter fencing and safe surfacing, supervision sightlines, and commercial kitchen and food-handling compliance — all of which has to be signed off by the regulatory authority before a centre can open its doors.
- Trade sequencing around an operating tenancy or fixed opening date
- National Quality Standard space, safety and supervision requirements
- Secure fencing, safe surfacing and sightlines for outdoor play areas
- Commercial kitchen, food safety and CC conditions signed off before opening
Industrial & Warehouse Projects
Industrial and warehouse fitouts are driven by services and access rather than finishes — three-phase power upgrades, high-bay racking and mezzanine loads, hardstand and heavy-vehicle turning circles, and loading dock and awning clearances that have to match the operator's fleet. Fire services and storage classification requirements (sprinkler and hydrant coverage matched to what's actually being stored) and consent-authority conditions on traffic, parking and stormwater are common hold points we manage through to occupation certificate.
- Power upgrades, high-bay racking and mezzanine structural loads
- Hardstand, loading dock and heavy-vehicle access coordination
- Fire services and storage classification compliance
- Consent authority conditions on traffic, parking and stormwater
