Project management & business network
Your project,
professionally orchestrated.
Sogar is the management company between clients, the business partners who refer them, and the business associates who do the professional work - design, approvals, supervision and delivery under one management system.
Work with us
Three relationships, each with its own portal and its own view of the work. Every one of these is a way of working with Sogar rather than through it.
For clients
You are building, and you want one company answerable for it.
Sogar manages the whole of it - design, approvals, cost, the professionals and the site - and reports to you as it goes. You deal with us, not with eight separate people who each have a different version of the schedule.
- One company accountable, from design to handover
- Your own portal: progress, documents, approvals, invoices
- Site visits recorded, with photographs and corrections
- The professionals appointed and paid by us, not by you
For business partners
You are a broker, architect, consultant, banker or developer, and people ask you who should build it.
Introduce them to Sogar. The introduction is recorded against your name permanently, and you can follow what became of it from your own partner portal - without being in the middle of the project or responsible for delivering it.
- Your introduction is attributed to you and stays attributed
- Follow its status without having to ask anyone
- Your commission statement, in your portal, updated when we pay
- No involvement in delivery, and no exposure to it
For business associates
You are an architect, engineer, estimator, supervisor, contractor or specialist firm with capacity for good work.
Join the network Sogar appoints from. Work comes to you as a work order with a defined scope, defined deliverables and defined dates - and your invoices, payments and performance record live in your own portal.
- Work orders with a written scope and agreed dates
- Your assignments, deliverables and site findings in one place
- Invoices submitted and tracked to payment
- A performance record that is visible to you, not only to us
What we manage
From the first drawing to the final account, under one company.
Design coordination
Architecture, structural and services, drawn by the right specialists and reconciled with each other before anything is built.
Approvals and licensing
The permissions a building needs, prepared, submitted and followed up until they are in hand.
Estimation
What the project should cost, from the drawings, before the money is committed.
Project management
One schedule, one set of milestones, and one company accountable for the professionals working to them.
Construction supervision
Someone from Sogar on site, on a schedule, checking what was built against what was approved.
Interiors
The fit-out managed the same way as the structure, by the same company, to the same record.
How it works
The first four steps. There are seven, and the last three are the ones most companies stop doing.
You tell us about the project
Directly, or through a business partner who introduces you. Either way the conversation that follows is with Sogar - we own the relationship from that point and it does not get passed around.
We understand it before we price it
A conversation, the land and its status, what you want built and what you want it to cost. A site visit where one is useful. This is the step that decides whether we are the right company for the project, and we will say so if we are not.
A scope, a programme and a cost
What will be done, in what order, by when, and for what. Written down, so there is one version of the agreement rather than a memory of a conversation.
You get: A proposal you can decide on
We appoint the professionals
Architects, structural and services engineers, estimators, supervisors, contractors - selected from our network for this project, and appointed by Sogar under our terms. You do not manage them, chase them or pay them. We do.
You get: One company accountable for all of them
Why a client can check what we tell them
Every one of these is something you can hold us to on your own project, not a promise about our attitude.
One company is accountable
You have one relationship, with us. The architect, the structural engineer, the estimator and the contractor are appointed by Sogar, work to our instructions and are paid by us. Their coordination is our problem, not yours.
The record is the work
Every drawing revision, approval, site visit, finding and invoice is recorded as it happens, in the system we run the company on. Your portal shows you that record - not a report written about it afterwards, when the details have softened.
We choose the professionals
We keep a network of architects, engineers, estimators, supervisors and contractors, and we choose from it for each project on service, location, capability, current workload and how they have performed for us before. It is a decision we make and stand behind - not one we hand to you with a directory.
Introductions are honoured
When a partner brings us a client, that introduction is recorded permanently and their commission follows from it. It cannot be reassigned quietly, and they can see its status without having to ask us.
Tell us about your project
A conversation first. We will say if we are not the right company for it.
