Let's work together
Your project - our mission
Let's just start the conversation to understand objectives and challenges. From there, we can devise the best approach to design development, procurement and delivery using the very best of the construction industry's expertise to accomplish your goals.
Gateway 2
With experience of leading Gateway 2 design management and procurement processes, Machel can assemble professional teams, set and manage objectives and successfully enable progression with commercial control whilst benefitting from supply chain technical support.
Fast track
Fast track projects require an altogether different approach overlapping design and document production with supply chain involvement and procurement. Using CDE and collaboration tools effectively enable us to steer a controlled path to delivery and maintain commercial control.
Tenant-led
Tenant-led opportunities come with their own challenges - multiple stakeholder objectives (e.g. funder, developer, tenant).
​
Ultimately, commercial control, quality compliance and certainty of delivery will satisfy each stakeholders individual needs, and this our focus.
