Construction management

Managing construction projects is at the heart of who we are at Mace.

From its inception, Mace was based on the principle of construction management and finding a better way of delivering for our clients.

We’ve delivered many iconic buildings through the construction management procurement route, including Battersea Power Station, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Tate Modern’s Blavatnik Extension. We believe that construction management is the right approach for major projects such as these, managing risk in the right way.

We meticulously plan every phase, with a laser focus on execution, safety and minimising risks. With the latest software and methodologies, we provide accurate and transparent budgeting, keeping your project financially sound. Our team fosters strong partnerships with all stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and cohesive teamwork.

Choosing Mace means partnering with decades of experience managing complex construction projects globally. Our technical expertise allows us to quickly identify and reduce inefficiencies in each work package, overcoming unforeseen challenges. We are relentless in our pursuit of better approaches to project discipline, service excellence and risk management.

From the early design stages through construction and fitout, we ensure that every detail is managed with the utmost care. We deliver our projects with a collaborative approach, bringing together best-in-class supply chain partners with industry-leading in-house consultants. This ensures that we not only meet, but exceed our clients’ expectations, delivering high-quality work that stands the test of time.

A partnership of equals

Construction management allows us to enter into true partnerships with our clients and the rest of the professional team, acting in their interest and managing every element of the project through design, procurement and selection, and beyond to delivery. This allows for the best of both worlds, enabling us to manage design and procurement, driving successful delivery.

One size does not fit all

Large construction projects are complex, with many disparate parts. We are proud to have managed some of the industry’s most intricate projects, from major railway stations to towering skyscrapers, or from complex life science projects to cutting edge data centres. Our strength lies in handling multifaceted programmes with multiple stakeholders - the more complex, the better. Flexibility is key, and we write briefs that stay ‘alive’ throughout the project, allowing us to respond to changes as needed. Construction management is a risk-sharing contract, offering maximum flexibility with risk allocated fairly, a clear benefit in an ever-changing industry.

Working as an integrated team

The strength of construction management lies in opportunity. It allows us to integrate packages, creating greater programme efficiency and accelerating work to safeguard end dates. Better interface management means fewer surprises and delays. An integrated team benefits the project’s bottom line by improving productivity and maintaining control of risks. This collaborative approach also minimizes the potential for claims, ensuring a smoother project delivery.

Management is key

Whether it be managing the supply chain, cost, change, building information modelling (BIM) or package; effective leadership and management are key. Starting with creating clear roles and responsibilities through project reporting, design, construction and package management, to compliance, and health and safety, our role is clear: to build, mobilise and above all, manage these elements into a clear, concise whole while emphasising transparency, collaboration and mutual benefit.
