MDSA Project and Construction Management

We will facilitate the development of a clear project brief so that you have a good understanding from the start. We can also assist in procuring other consultants, agreeing upon communication processes and procedures for design development, recommending procurement strategies for contractors and subcontractors as well as suppliers, and involving yourself and other consultants in the project. Furthermore, our team can arrange site handover to the contractor when required, while coordinating rectification works at the close-out stage until everything is complete!
