Project Rationale: 

HOP were engaged at a pivotal stage when the client faced a critical negotiation with the previous Contractor design changes and increased costs. Our involvement resulted in a contract termination and a negotiated refund on the advance payment 

From there, we took ownership of the cost planning and programme leadership. Acting as both Managing QS and Project Manager, HOP provided:

• Commercial control — agreeing budgets, preparing BOQs, and monitoring costs.

• Tender & Recommendation — we issued the tender pack and recommended the best value contractor 

• Programme management — sequencing works to maintain a smooth delivery path.

• Contract administration — overseeing compliance and keeping all parties aligned.
  
  

• Design management — coordinating client-driven changes and integrating designer revisions.

The works are ongoing; completion due April 2026, we are on track to delivery a highly bespoke residential property where the client’s vision will be realised.
