Through our experience we recognise the importance of your involvement throughout the design and construction process. Project management does not work without your direct involvement.
You will get the results you need through our progressive and professional project and construction management services:
Creation of brief and appointment of specialist team of consultants and contractors
Utilising Wycombe’s highly skilled pool of consultants we tailor a team to suit each specific project and ensure that the briefs are concise and accurate as the briefs are the key to receiving accurate tenders.
Coordination of management team and support staff
Wycombe tailors the project team and support staff to ensure the full range of competencies and expertise are encompassed within the project specific team.
Management of building infrastructure design
Wycombe has developed a unique project deign team methodology which delivers co-ordinated, fully integrated design. We explore design and construction alternatives and utilise the virtual building model to further improve the final design and ensure there are no design clashes between disciplines.
Management of program and project reporting
Program and reporting are the cornerstones of the Wycombe delivery process. With the combined experience of our team of programmers we are able to factor all variables into each program to ensure that key milestones are tracked and achieved. The project reporting function gives clients a clear understanding of the project progress at all times.
Contractor appointment and contract administration
A key component of our project management portfolio has been to build a network of skilled contractors who are dedicated to working as a team to ensure the success of the project and to deliver the highest quality building. This, combined with pro-active contract administration has resulted in greatly reduced contractual disputation.
Supply chain management
Wycombe works closely with its suppliers to provide innovate and responsive supply solutions and partnerships. By working as a fully integrated supply chain network Wycombe are able to ensure continuity of quality and timely supply of the project requirements.
Industrial relations management
Wycombe accepts full responsibility for Industrial Relations for the entire project and has an excellent track record in this regard. Wycombe have no instances where our work has impinged on the industrial relations of the client’s normal operations on site.
Tendering process
The tendering process takes into account the level of Governance requirements for each client. From our initial assessment of Governance and Procedures we are able to tailor a process which is acceptable to each client, whether that be non-disclosed tender, open tender or tendering to preferred tenderer bidders only.
We design the process to suit the organisational profile.
Project cost and schedule control
Wycombe employs the “Lean Construction” methodology which better addresses clients requirements and delivers more control and certainty to the costing and scheduling as many elements of the building are built or assembled off site.
Environmental health and safety consulting
Environmental Audits, Environmental Management Plans and Environmental Monitoring are also part of the service package offered by Wycombe.
Financial Management
Wycombe uses the latest technology to ensure tight financial management, coupled with our team of highly qualified financial personnel, we are able to deliver savings to our clients.

Quality assurance
Extensive QA systems are utilised on all projects, with particular emphasis on procedures, contractor control systems, high tech document and information controls and sophisticated wall-chart handover and PDA defects system. These processes are used on all of our projects to ensure Quality Assured consistency, every time.
Electronic documentation management
With Wycombe’s constant refinement and updating of documentation management, we are able to ensure total documentation management, for minor works or large commercial ventures. These systems guarantee the information is distributed immediately to the relevant parties with a minimum of paper handling and wastage.
Project handover and post occupancy review

Construction Management
Since the inception of the Wycombe Group some 50 years ago, we have been at the forefront of construction management and select the right team to manage your project, ensuring best fit of skills and expertise.
Construction
The Wycombe Group is able to offer construction as a unique advantage to Wycombe clients. With our cost plus fee service for construction, we are able to build at cost (plus a set fee). This methodology ensures the client ‘peace of mind’ during the construction phase as there are no additional fees or costs for the documented works.
All additional scope is dealt with in the same manner, thus minimising the traditional construction 'blowout' issue.
