Typical one-stop shop process.


We manage the project from feasablility through to opening, initially developing the concept design within the brand, cost and programme parameters. The project will then be delivered by the team, either under a Design & Build contract where the entire risk is managed by VincentStokes as main contractor, or under a Construction Management agreement where the risk is managed by the team but the overall cost and contractual responsibility remains with the customer. The choice between these two routes is dictated primarily by the nature of the project and its complexity, but also by consideration of the clients prefered approach.

We manage the project from concept design through to opening, generally acting as the Employer's Representative, being responsible for team appointment coordination, programme establishment and monitoring, cost reporting and the hand over process.

We form part of the customer's team early within the project lead in process, providing 'buildability' recommendation, stategic programming and market cost advice. Once the concept has been signed off and the programme and costs have been fixed the customer's team can be transfered to VincentStokes who can provide a single point of responsibility under a Design & Build agreement. This ensures the customer has a team who understands the product and associated risks and have bought into delivering within an agreed cost and timeframe.

Alternatively we can carry out the works under a more traditional contractual approach.
