You know where your project stands every month, in writing, from the directors
Most clients find out about cost or programme problems too late to do anything about them. RRC gives you the cost and programme position every month, prepared by the two directors who run the job. We also tell you about any problem as soon as we know about it.
Defining the difference
Monthly cost and programme reporting
Clients receive a monthly report covering costs, programme progress, risks, design information, health and safety, quality and dated progress photos.
Risks identified at tender
RRC sets out assumptions and exclusions in writing at tender and identifies unclear elements as risks with a value, helping clients understand potential cost and programme issues early.
Direct M&E management
Mechanical and electrical packages are managed directly by RRC, covering design coordination, testing, commissioning and O&M documentation alongside the wider construction programme.
Directors on the job
Adam Gallagher and Rob Williams lead every project personally. They are both involved from tender review to final account. A director attends every monthly progress meeting. You have both directors’ direct phone numbers and email addresses. The price, programme and site set-up are all signed off under leadership of our director before we start on site.
Cost certainty
We price the full scope and set out our assumptions and exclusions in writing at tender. Whatever is not clear at tender is listed as a risk with a value against it, so you can see it. Change is valued and sent to you before the work is done wherever the programme allows. You receive a forecast final cost every month, not just at the end of the job. Valuations are backed up with measurement and records, so you can check them quickly.
Monthly report
You get a report from the directors every month. It shows:
Cost
Contract sum, agreed and pending variations, forecast final cost, movement since last month
Programme
Progress against the baseline, critical path, forecast completion date, any delays and their causes
Risk
Open risks and early warnings, with a value, an owner and a date for each
Design and information
RFIs are outstanding, design items are awaiting sign-off, and the dates we need them by
Health and safety
Incidents, near misses, inspections and audits for the month
Quality
Inspections carried out, defects open and closed, and handover documents collected so far
Photos
Dated progress photos
Technical depth in building services
Mechanical and electrical work is where most cost overruns and handover delays start on commercial and residential buildings. RRC manages M&E packages directly. That covers design coordination, testing and commissioning, and O&M documents, so the building services are coordinated with the rest of the build from the start.
How a project runs
Display as six numbered steps in a row (or stacked on mobile):
-
Tender review: Both directors review the documents.
-
Price: Price, risks and exclusions set out in writing.
-
Pre-start: Programme and site set-up signed off.
-
On-site: Monthly cost, programme and risk report.
-
Handover: Testing, commissioning and handover documents.
-
Final account: Agreed on records.
Both directors are involved at every stage, from tender review to final account.
Programme control
Rob sets up each programme around the order the work actually needs to be done in, including access, lead times for plant and materials, and dependencies between trades. The programme is updated regularly against progress on site. You will hear about any slippage in the next report, or earlier if it affects the completion date.
What we ask from you
Design information by the dates in the information schedule. A named person with authority to make decisions. Payment in line with the contract. We pay our own supply chain on time and in full, and we ask the same of our clients.
