TBAD+ Project Leadership

TBAD+ is our premium project-leadership service for clients who refuse to leave design quality to chance.

Full-Spectrum Project Leadership

Principal Agent

Full SACAP / RIBA principal-agent appointments with contractual design authority and regulatory accountability.

Project Coordination

Single-point coordination across architects, engineers, QS, interior designers, and specialist sub-consultants.

Cost Management

Budget development, cash-flow forecasting, monthly cost reporting, and variation-order control.

Programme Management

Critical-path scheduling, milestone tracking, and proactive delay mitigation across all work packages.

Digital Site Intelligence

Drone surveys, 360-degree documentation, real-time progress dashboards, and automated compliance photography.

Defects & Warranty

Snag-list management, defects-rectification tracking, and structured warranty-period monitoring post-handover.

Six Phases.
Total Oversight.

From strategic briefing to warranty monitoring, every phase is structured, reported, and accountable. You always know what is happening on your site — even from another continent.

01

Strategic Briefing & Risk Mapping

2 – 3 weeks

We audit the existing project scope, identify risk concentrations, and develop a structured project execution plan. Budget frameworks are stress-tested, programme milestones are benchmarked against regional norms, and a risk register is established as a living document that travels with the project from day one.

Deliverables
  • Project execution plan
  • Risk register & mitigation matrix
  • Budget framework & cash-flow model
  • Programme milestone schedule
02

Consultant Assembly & Coordination

2 – 4 weeks

We appoint and coordinate the full consultant team — structural engineers, quantity surveyors, geotechnical specialists, heritage consultants, and MEP engineers. Every appointment is scope-aligned, fee-negotiated, and contractually structured under our coordination authority to eliminate inter-disciplinary gaps.

Deliverables
  • Consultant appointment recommendations
  • Scope-of-work definitions
  • Fee negotiation & benchmarking
  • Coordination protocol document
03

Procurement & Contract Strategy

3 – 6 weeks

We develop the tender documentation, manage the contractor evaluation process, and negotiate construction contracts. Whether the model is a negotiated fixed-price, design-and-build, or construction-management approach, we structure the agreement to protect the client investment and the design intent simultaneously.

Deliverables
  • Tender document preparation
  • Contractor evaluation matrix
  • Contract negotiation & recommendation
  • Letter of appointment coordination
04

Construction Phase Monitoring

Duration of build

Fortnightly site inspections monitor progress against programme, quality against specification, and expenditure against budget. We chair site meetings, issue minutes, certify interim payments, and manage all variation orders. The goal is proactive intervention — catching deviations before they become defects.

Deliverables
  • Fortnightly site inspection reports
  • Site meeting minutes & action logs
  • Payment certificate recommendations
  • Variation order assessments
05

Digital Reporting & Quality Assurance

Ongoing

Our digital layer supplements physical inspections. Drone flyovers generate progress-comparison overlays, 360-degree site captures create a timestamped visual archive, and real-time dashboards give you project health metrics from anywhere in the world. This is particularly valuable for cross-border clients managing RSA builds from the UK or vice versa.

Deliverables
  • Drone progress overlays
  • 360-degree visual site archive
  • Real-time project dashboard access
  • Monthly executive summary reports
06

Practical Completion & Handover

2 – 4 weeks

We compile a comprehensive snag list, manage the contractor rectification programme, and certify practical completion only when the finished product meets the documented standard. Post-handover, we monitor the defects-liability period, tracking any warranty claims and ensuring the contractor fulfils every outstanding obligation.

Deliverables
  • Comprehensive snag list
  • Practical completion certificate
  • Defects-liability period monitoring
  • Operational handover pack

What Separates Us From Every Other PM

Architect-Led Management

Unlike generic PMs, we are architects first. We understand design intent at a spatial level, which means we protect it — not just the programme and the budget.

Digital-First Approach

Drones, 360-degree captures, real-time dashboards, and automated compliance photography. Your project data is live, visual, and accessible from anywhere.

Cross-Border Capability

RSA and UK construction procurement, contract law, and consultant ecosystems managed from one studio. Ideal for diaspora clients building in both markets.

Single Accountability

One senior project leader owns your project. No rotating juniors, no fragmented responsibility. Every decision funnels through one accountable person.

Real-Time Client Reporting

Monthly executive summaries, fortnightly site reports, and a live dashboard you can check at 2am. You never have to wonder what is happening on your site.

Budget Protection Protocols

Every variation order is assessed for design impact and cost consequence before approval. We do not let scope creep erode your investment without your explicit sign-off.

How We Engage

Full Project Leadership

Phases 01 – 06 from strategic briefing through warranty monitoring. Total project oversight under one appointment — our recommended model for new builds and major renovations.

Construction Phase Only

Phases 04 – 06 for clients who have completed design and procurement independently. We step in at site commencement and manage through to handover and defects.

Digital Audit Package

Remote monitoring via drone flyovers, 360-degree captures, and monthly executive reporting. Ideal for cross-border clients who need eyes on a distant site without appointing a full PM.
