Construction Management as a procurement strategy has seen a significant rise in adoption, driven by increasing market pressures and the demand for more flexible, cost-efficient delivery models. Kent Construction Consultants are proud to be the region’s leading providers of Construction Management services, with a proven track record of delivering over £200 million in construction value through this route.
Our team has developed deep expertise in the administration and delivery of JCT Construction Management contracts, enabling us to guide clients through the unique opportunities and challenges this procurement method presents. We understand the critical importance of managing multiple trade contracts, maintaining programme control, and achieving cost certainty without the traditional single main contractor structure.
For both private and public sector clients, choosing Construction Management requires a detailed understanding of operational demands, preliminary requirements, and risk ownership. Kent Construction Consultants provide the strategic advice and technical insight necessary to assess whether this approach suits your project’s objectives, or if an alternative route would offer a more balanced risk profile.
With early-stage engagement, transparent coordination, and experienced leadership, we help clients realise the full potential of Construction Management procurement while ensuring quality, control, and value are maintained from inception to completion.

At Kent Construction Consultants, we believe that Construction Management fosters genuine partnerships between our firm, our clients, and the wider professional team. This collaborative approach allows us to act exclusively in the client’s interest, managing every element of the project from early RIBA stage design through procurement, trade package selection, and ultimately, successful delivery.
Construction Management offers a unique opportunity to maintain control over programme, cost, and quality, while enabling flexibility in managing complex phasing requirements or specialist trade interfaces. By engaging early, we provide strategic oversight during design development and procurement, allowing clients to retain influence over key decisions while benefiting from our leadership, market insight, and contract expertise. This approach brings together the best of both worlds: proactive project control with the agility to adapt to evolving project needs.
Briary fieldsIdentifying Risk and Reducing Cost
At Kent Construction Consultants, we place design coordination, risk mitigation, and quality assurance at the heart of Construction Management delivery. These principles are embedded from the earliest stages of cost planning through to the final phases of construction. The Construction Management route offers clients direct access to specialist consultants and trade contractors, encouraging fresh thinking, innovation, and value engineering through close collaboration with the supply chain.
We believe Construction Management provides unmatched flexibility and control. By allowing more time for design development and strategic procurement, clients are empowered to make informed decisions and maintain tighter control over budgets. This procurement model enables direct tendering to the supply chain, placing individual trade contracts that maximise value and transparency.
Kent Construction Consultants act as the client’s trusted partner, ensuring expert contract administration, proactive cost control, and hands-on project management throughout. From early engagement to project completion, our team is committed to delivering high-performing, well-coordinated schemes that meet both commercial and operational objectives, whether in the private or public sector.
Charles courtTeam Integration
One of the key advantages of Construction Management is the ability for clients to engage directly with the supply chain, working with trade contractors to achieve greater transparency, control, and value. This direct engagement allows for the strategic overlapping and integration of work packages, which in turn creates significant efficiencies in both programme and cost.
By sequencing and grouping packages effectively, Construction Management supports accelerated delivery and safeguards against delays. Improved interface management and clearer scoping reduce the likelihood of unforeseen issues that typically lead to costly disruptions. This proactive coordination ensures that construction programmes remain on track and responsive to the demands of complex or phased projects.
When a project is well-suited to this route, an integrated Construction Management team adds measurable value to the bottom line. It minimises inflated preliminaries and contractor risk premiums, allowing the project team to retain control over key risks rather than transferring them at a cost. The collaborative nature of Construction Management also fosters stronger working relationships, reduces the potential for disputes, and promotes shared ownership of project outcomes, benefitting both private and public sector clients.
Regulated by the RICS
In today’s complex and fast-evolving marketplace, clients require certainty, trust, and professional accountability. At Kent Construction Consultants, we provide that assurance through our regulated status with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), upholding the highest standards of ethics, conduct, and service delivery.
We are experienced in navigating public procurement processes and fully compliant with government frameworks, ensuring transparency, value for money, and alignment with public sector governance requirements. Our team understands the intricacies of framework delivery and is equipped to support local authorities, public bodies, and contractors working within regulated environments.
Equally, we are highly adaptable to the financial drivers and commercial delivery demands of private sector clients. Whether the focus is on maximising return on investment, accelerating programme delivery, or enhancing asset performance, we tailor our approach to meet each client’s specific objectives.
With Kent Construction Consultants, public and private sector clients alike benefit from a trusted, accredited partner committed to delivering quality, value, and assurance at every stage of the project lifecycle.
