What we manage
Six services, and one company answerable for all of them. Most projects use several; none of them are sold separately from the accountability.
The six services
Design coordination
Architecture, structural and services, drawn by the right specialists and reconciled with each other before anything is built.
- Architectural design and the drawing set that goes with it
- Structural and MEP design by specialists we appoint
- One reviewed set of drawings, with revisions tracked
- Changes reflected across every discipline, not just the one that raised them
Approvals and licensing
The permissions a building needs, prepared, submitted and followed up until they are in hand.
- Local body building permits
- Statutory clearances the site or the use requires
- Drawings prepared to what each authority asks for
- A record of what was applied for, when, and where it stands
Estimation
What the project should cost, from the drawings, before the money is committed.
- Quantities taken off the approved drawings
- Rates against current market conditions
- A cost your decisions can be made against
- Re-estimation when the design changes
Project management
One schedule, one set of milestones, and one company accountable for the professionals working to them.
- A programme with milestones and dependencies
- Work orders placed with the professionals who will do the work
- Progress tracked against the plan, not against optimism
- Delays raised with you when they appear, not when they bite
Construction supervision
Someone from Sogar on site, on a schedule, checking what was built against what was approved.
- Scheduled site visits with a checklist, not an impression
- Quality and safety observations recorded with photographs
- Findings raised as corrective actions with a date on them
- Closed only when the correction has been seen and verified
Interiors
The fit-out managed the same way as the structure, by the same company, to the same record.
- Interior design and detailing
- Joinery, services and finishes coordinated with the base build
- Suppliers and contractors appointed and supervised
- Handover with the documents that belong to the work
Not sure which of these you need?
Most people are not, at the start. That is what the first conversation is for - we will tell you what the project actually needs, including when it needs less than you expected.
