A Project Manager oversees and coordinates projects from start to finish. We plan, execute, and monitor the construction project, ensuring it meets objectives, timelines, and budgets.
We communicate with stakeholders, manage risks, and allocate resources efficiently. The role requires leadership skills, problem-solving, and effective communication. Project Managers also ensure compliance with local regulations and standards, adapting to New Zealand’s unique work culture and environment.
INSURANCE VALUATIONS
We prepare Reinstatement Cost Estimates for insurance purposes, which insurance providers revuew before offering you coverage in the event of a total loss. This estimate includes construction works, professional fees, authority fees, and Inflationary Provisions.
We also provide an Indemnity Estimate or Depreciated Replacement Cost Estimate, which is calculated using the straight-line method. This is used to calculate the appropriate value of Fire Services Levies for your insurance premiums to fund local fire departments.
FINANCIER REPORTING
Once instructed, we prepare an Initial Report which is a document required for financiers to approve finance. We undertake a cost verification estimate for every project to confirm its feasibility prior to finance.
When the contractor issues a Payment Claim, we visit site to value the cost to complete and make a payment recommendation. Our reports are tailored to the financier's brief and informs the bank of any risks associated with the project.
