Project Management Services
In-House Project Management for Your Building Project
LCCL Construction provides in-house project management for loft conversions, house extensions, renovations and new builds across London and Hertfordshire. Our project managers coordinate every stage of your build, from initial design through to final handover, ensuring your project stays on schedule, within budget and to the highest quality standards.
With over 20 years of experience, more than 200 verified reviews rated 4.7 out of 5, and LABC Awards Regional Winners 2024, we have a proven track record of managing residential construction projects of all sizes. Our project management is included as standard in our design and build service — you get a dedicated project manager who acts as your single point of contact throughout the build.
What Our Project Management Covers
Our project management service covers the full scope of your building project. This includes arranging and coordinating all architectural drawings for existing and proposed designs, preparing design and access statements, managing building regulation and structural engineer drawings, arranging party wall agreements, liaising with Local Authority Building Control throughout construction, tendering and selection of specialist subcontractors, cost comparison and appraisal, quality control inspections, regular construction site visits, trade coordination and scheduling, health and safety management, and final snagging and handover.
How We Manage Your Project
Our project management approach combines construction management, site coordination and programme scheduling to keep your build on track. With over 20 years of developing and refining our project management process, we have built a system that ensures consistent delivery across every project.
We take the uncertainty and stress out of building work by managing all communication with trades, suppliers, building control inspectors and other third parties. Our project managers attend site regularly, carry out quality inspections and provide you with clear, regular updates on progress, budget and timeline.
Your Project Manager’s Role
Your dedicated project manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of your build. They create and maintain the construction programme, coordinate all trades and deliveries, manage the budget and cost tracking, keep you informed of progress and any issues, ensure all building control inspections are arranged and passed, maintain quality standards on site, and manage health and safety throughout the project. You will have direct access to your project manager by phone, email and WhatsApp throughout the build.
Our Project Management Process
Once all is agreed and you have now instructed us for our construction project management services, the structure can be outlined in four basic stages:
01
Step 01 — Project Initiation: We assess the feasibility of your project, confirm the scope of work, and create a project initiation document that outlines objectives, budget range, key milestones and responsibilities. This document becomes the reference point for the entire project.
02
Step 02 — Planning: We develop a detailed project programme covering every phase from design through to completion. This includes a construction schedule with realistic timescales, a cost plan with itemised budgets, resource planning for trades and materials, risk assessment to identify and mitigate potential issues, and a communication plan so you know exactly when and how you will receive updates.
03
Step 03 — Construction: During construction, our project manager monitors progress against the programme, coordinates trades and deliveries, carries out quality inspections, manages building control site visits, and ensures the work is completed safely and to the approved design. Any changes or variations are documented and discussed with you before proceeding.
04
Step 04 — Completion and Handover: At completion, we carry out a thorough snagging inspection to identify and resolve any outstanding items. We ensure all building control inspections are signed off and your completion certificate is issued. We provide you with all project documentation including warranties, certificates and maintenance information, and carry out a final walkthrough to hand over the finished project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is project management included in the design and build service?
Yes. Project management is included as a standard part of LCCL Construction’s design and build service. You do not need to hire a separate project manager. Your dedicated project manager coordinates all trades, suppliers, building control inspections and third parties throughout the build, and acts as your single point of contact from start to finish.
Q2: Can I hire LCCL for project management only, without the construction?
Yes. We offer project management as a standalone service for homeowners who want professional oversight of their building project but are using their own builders or separate contractors. Our project managers can manage the design phase, coordinate trades, carry out quality inspections and liaise with building control on your behalf. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Q3: How often will I receive updates during construction?
We provide regular updates throughout the build via phone, email and WhatsApp. Our project managers attend site regularly to carry out quality inspections and monitor progress. You will be informed of key milestones, any issues that arise, and any decisions that require your input. Many of our reviews specifically mention communication as one of our strongest qualities.
Q4: What happens if the project goes over budget or over time?
Our project management process is designed to minimise the risk of cost overruns and delays. We provide detailed cost plans and construction programmes at the outset, and monitor progress against these throughout the build. If any variations arise, we discuss them with you before proceeding and provide updated cost and time implications. We recommend maintaining a contingency budget of 10 to 15 percent to cover any unforeseen items that may arise during construction.
