Project management services for fire halls and municipal projects

Front-end planning and feasibility

Needs assessments, space programs, option studies, business cases and project charters.

What you receive

• A space program built with the people who will use the building
• Site scope and due diligence: geotechnical, environmental, utilities and access
• Options compared side by side
• A delivery-method recommendation and an RFP ready to issue
• An estimate and schedule for Council

Cost and budget advisory

Independent estimates at each stage with our cost consultants, from Class D (an early estimate made before design) to Class A (a detailed estimate on near-complete design). We check the allowances, the placeholder amounts an estimator carries for unknowns, and replace them with better information where we can.

What you receive

• An independent estimate at each decision point
• Allowances checked, so the budget reflects the real site
• Value-engineering and constructability findings
• A budget range Council can approve

Owner's representative and project delivery

One accountable lead from concept to commissioning and handover, protecting the owner's interests.

What you receive

• One point of accountability for the whole project
• Plain-language reports to administration and Council
• Design and construction contracts managed on your behalf
• Commissioning and handover to your operations team

Procurement and contracts

Delivery-method analysis, RFP preparation, evaluation and contract administration.

What you receive

• A delivery-method recommendation with the reasons
• RFP and tender documents
• Evaluation and an award recommendation
• Contract administration through construction

Funding support

Grant program screening and funding-compliant delivery.

What you receive

• Grant programs screened against your project
• Applications and progress reports supported
• Delivery and records that meet funding rules

Project reviews and recovery

Independent reviews of scope, estimate and schedule, and recovery of projects that have drifted.

What you receive

Cost, schedule and performance reporting that fits your processes.

A first conversation

Call or email Sig. A first conversation about scope, budget and funding costs nothing. We reply within one business day.

What to bring

Whatever you already know: the need, any site, a rough budget or funding source, and the date Council needs a decision. None of it is required for a first call.

The first phase

A short proposal for a capped first phase, with what you will receive and when.
