Construction project management: one point of contact from the first sketch to handover
By Anderson & the LCCL Construction Team
Finchley N3 · Design & build, LABC award winners 2024 and 2026
Every LCCL project has a dedicated project manager — the person who owns the programme, the approvals, the trades, the deliveries, the inspections and the weekly update to you. It is what makes design and build one contract rather than a list of people to chase. We also provide project management for clients running their own build: your architect's drawings, your chosen contractor, our management. This page explains what the service covers, how it is priced, and what a well-managed programme looks like week by week.
Quick answer
Included at no separate fee in every LCCL design and build contract. As a standalone service for your own build, priced per project after a free consultation call — typically a percentage of the contract value or a fixed monthly fee, agreed in writing before we start.
We manage the approvals — planning conditions, building control inspections, party wall awards — as part of the programme.
From pre-construction through the build to handover; weekly site visits and a written update every week.
A free 30-minute phone call with our team, no obligation.

Guide
Notes
How the standalone fee is set: after a free consultation call we agree the scope — pre-construction only, the build only, or both — and price it as a percentage of the contract value or a fixed monthly fee, in writing, before we start. The figure on your itemised estimate is the figure you pay — nothing is added afterwards. There is no figure on this page because it depends entirely on the project; we would rather give you a real number after one call than a misleading one here.
What good management saves: the two things that blow domestic budgets are variations agreed verbally on site and long-lead items ordered late. A programme with the steel, windows and kitchen ordered against it, and every variation priced in writing before it happens, is worth more than the fee on almost every project we have seen go wrong without it.
Project management by project type
Extensions and lofts
The programme is short and the sequence tight: approvals, party wall, scaffold, structure, weather-tight, first fix, plaster, second fix. The manager's job is keeping the long-lead items — steel, glazing, rooflights, the kitchen — ahead of the trade that needs them.
Whole-house renovations
Dozens of trades in the right order across every room, with the client often living in part of the house. Cost control matters most here — the specification decisions run into the hundreds and each one is priced before it is made.
New builds and basements
Long programmes with statutory milestones — conditions, CIL, utility connections, party wall awards, warranty inspections — where a missed date costs weeks. Pre-construction management is where these projects are won or lost.
Planning
How approvals are managed inside the programme
Every consent has a date on the programme, and someone whose job it is to hit it.

Building regulations & party walls
Inspections and awards, attended and closed out
Building control inspections — foundations, drainage, structure, insulation, fire, completion — are booked by the project manager against the programme and attended, so the inspector sees the work at the right moment and nothing has to be opened up again. Party wall awards set working hours, access and protection; the manager builds them into the programme and closes out the schedule of condition at the end.
On a well-run project the client never chases a consent. The manager knows which inspection is due, which condition is outstanding and which certificate is missing — and reports it in writing every week, so nothing is discovered at handover.

Projects we managed
Bohun Grove, East Barnet EN4 — rear extension, hip-to-gable loft and whole-house renovation
LABC 2024 Best Residential Extension in London
Semi-detached family home One programme loft + extension + renovation
A total renovation of a family semi: a rear extension opening into a full-width kitchen and dining space with floor-to-ceiling glazing and skylights, a hip-to-gable loft conversion with a rear dormer, two Lusso Stone bathrooms, enlarged bedrooms, new windows throughout, a regulated outbuilding and landscaping.
Because the loft and extension ran under one contract, the steelwork for the open-plan ground floor and the loft floor was designed together and lifted in on the same day — one crane hire, one scaffold, one building-control file.

ANDERSON · FOUNDER, LCCL CONSTRUCTION
Anderson's advice: book the design stage in summer, build in autumn
August is our slowest month for project starts — most families delay until the schools go back. That makes it the best time to get the survey, drawings and approvals done: you go through the council queue while everyone else is on holiday and start on site in September or October with the paperwork finished.
Approvals are the part of the programme you cannot compress. Design and planning typically take 8–16 weeks; leave them to the last minute and the build slips into the following year.

Project management questions we get asked most
Yes — every design and build contract comes with a dedicated project manager, the programme, approvals, procurement, cost control, quality checks and a written weekly update. There is no separate fee; it is what makes one contract one contract.
Yes. With your architect's drawings and your chosen contractor, we provide the same management — programme, contractor coordination, inspections, cost control and reporting — as a standalone service priced per project after a free call.
Within an LCCL contract, nothing extra. As a standalone service it is typically a percentage of the contract value or a fixed monthly fee, agreed in writing before we start. It depends entirely on the project, so we give you a real number after one call rather than a misleading one here.
Sequences and inspects the trades, books and attends building control, checks the work against the drawings, chases deliveries against the programme, prices any variation in writing before it happens, and sends you a written update with photographs. You have one phone number.
The itemised estimate is the baseline and every line is tracked against it. Nothing changes without a priced variation agreed in writing first — the verbal 'while we're here' agreement on site is where domestic budgets go wrong, and it does not happen on a managed project.
The chain of tasks where a delay in one delays the finish — approvals, steel delivery, weather-tight, plaster drying. Managing a build means knowing which tasks are on it and protecting them. Long-lead items ordered late are the most common way a domestic programme slips.
Yes — programme, procurement of long-lead items, approvals, party wall and contractor tender up to the start on site, for clients who then want to run the build themselves or with their contractor. It is where new builds and basements are won or lost.
The LABC completion certificate, electrical and gas certificates, EPC where required, guarantees and warranties, the as-built drawings, product manuals and every planning, building control and party wall document — everything you need to live in the house and, later, to sell it without a solicitor's query.
