Project Management
Interior Project Management in Nairobi
Someone accountable on site, checking the work against the drawings, so you are not managing contractors on your lunch break.
Overview
What project management covers
Most interior projects that overrun do not fail at the design stage. They fail at the coordination stage — the joinery arrives before the floor is ready, the electrician has left before the lighting positions are confirmed, and nobody checked the wall was square before the wardrobes were made.
Project management is the unglamorous work that decides whether a good design becomes a good space. We hold the programme, the procurement, the contractors and the quality checks, and we tell you honestly when something moves.
- Measured survey and scaled floor plans produced in house, so nothing is built from an unverified drawing
- Programme development with realistic dates and dependencies mapped
- Procurement: sourcing, negotiating, ordering and tracking deliveries
- Contractor and fabricator selection, briefing and coordination
- Sequencing so trades do not obstruct or damage each other’s work
- Regular site inspections checking work against the approved drawings
- Quality control with issues raised while they are still cheap to fix
- Cost tracking against budget, with variations flagged before they are incurred
- Progress reporting and site documentation sent to you throughout
- Snagging — a proper defects list, chased to completion
- Handover with documentation of finishes, fittings and maintenance requirements
Process
How project management runs
01
Scope and programme
We review the design package, establish the works, and build a programme with realistic dates.
02
Procurement planning
Long-lead items identified and ordered early, because joinery lead times set the critical path.
03
Contractor appointment
Selection, briefing and clear scope allocation so nothing falls between two trades.
04
Site supervision
Regular inspections against the drawings, with issues raised early and documented.
05
Cost and change control
Variations priced and approved before they happen, not discovered at the end.
06
Snagging and handover
Defects list produced, chased and closed out before the space is handed over.
Questions
Frequently asked
Can you manage a project someone else designed?
Yes. We review the drawing package first and flag anything that will cause problems on site before work starts — which is usually the most valuable part of the exercise.
How often do you visit site?
That depends on the stage. Critical stages — setting out, first fix, joinery installation — need close attention; quieter periods need less. We agree the pattern at the start.
Will you tell me if the project is running late?
Yes, as soon as we know, with what it means and what we are doing about it. Late information is worse than late work.
Do you handle payments to contractors?
We can advise on and verify payment applications against work completed. The commercial arrangement is agreed with you at the outset.
What is snagging?
The defects list produced near completion — the doors that catch, the paint that is short, the fitting that is out of line. Chasing it properly is the difference between a project that feels finished and one that feels almost finished.
