Residential Interior Fit-Out Project Management Services

We know that managing a home build or renovation can feel overwhelming, which is why our residential interior fit-out project management process is built around close collaboration between designer, builder, and client.

Every detail of your project is overseen with precision and care to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience. Below are the four stages we follow to coordinate your interior fit-out to the highest standard.

How We Work

Timeline Efficiency: Coordinated Project Scheduling

We don't just follow the build timeline; we actively manage the interior fit-out schedule to align perfectly with your builder's work. This proactive project management approach is critical for hitting deadlines and avoiding costly delays.

Detailed Specifications and Coordination: Precision Documentation

This section is all about showing expertise, accuracy, and efficiency in handling the logistics and technical requirements of the finishes.

We provide precise, detailed specifications for your builder and all subcontractors for every interior finish. This documentation minimises errors and provides clarity on complex details. We also become the central point of contact, liaising directly with suppliers for all custom fittings, materials, and lead times. We meticulously track and coordinate all deliveries, ensuring everything arrives on site exactly when it’s needed for installation, preventing frustrating hold-ups.

Oversight of Interior Contractors: Quality Control & Installation Management

We provide dedicated on-site oversight for the critical installation phases. We manage and supervise the fitting of high-end finishes, bespoke joinery, and fittings to ensure everything is installed correctly, meets the specification, and maintains the highest standards of craftsmanship. We act as your quality assurance partner, guaranteeing the final result matches your original design vision.

Budget Management: Financial Control for Your Fit-Out

We monitor the interior budget from procurement through to installation. We track spending against the agreed-upon costs for all materials and contractor work, ensuring the entire fit-out has cost control with no unexpected overruns or last-minute expenses. Our goal is to deliver your interior on specification, on time, and on budget.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

As early as possible! Ideally, we should be engaged before first fix—the stage when electrics, plumbing, and studwork are being set. Early involvement is crucial because we can confirm exact layouts, socket/data positions, and lighting plans around your planned furniture arrangement. This proactive step avoids costly design revisions, delays, and extra charges later in the construction process when walls have to be opened up again.

Both. We are highly collaborative and are happy to work with your chosen main contractor or builder. We also maintain a trusted network of high-quality, proven contractors for interior fit-out and specialty trades, and we are happy to recommend partners tailored to your project’s scope and location.

We use a fixed fee structure for our Project Management scope. This provides transparency and certainty from the start, allowing you to accurately budget for our coordination services. We will outline the complete scope of work and the fixed fee for your review before commencing.

We are based in Sarratt and serve clients across Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
