Building project management
After you have received your architectural design services, the final step in bringing your project to life is with the build itself, which you can of course do yourself, or utilise the expertise of construction and building project management services like our own. Managing the project is essentially where you’ll need to select your builder, carry out the work, deal with payment and any issues, and ultimately make sure the entire project is built to a standard you’re happy with. It’s a lot of work to take on.
The CK Architectural project management service is designed for that exact reason, to help you deal with all of the stresses that come along with project management, and to ultimately offer you the benefits only experts can, like:
- Reducing Costing Without Disputes or Confusion
- Minimising Contact Time
- Improving Contract Efficiency
- Advanced Communication Benefits
- Providing Full Control and Access to Expertise
We work with you in every area of the project, making sure that you’re always up to date on every aspect of the build, maintaining a constant level of control over each specific detail, ensuring you get the best service possible.
Contact the CK team today to discuss your project and receive free quotes and advice on your build.
The main goals of project management are controlling and organising
- Programme
- Cost
- Payment control
- Build quality
- Ensure required compliances
Our Building Project Management role starts once the project has achieved planning and building regulations approval from the relevant council party such as Sheffield or Doncaster. (Stages 5-7 of the RIBA Plan of Works) We are able to start this role whether your planning / building regulation drawings were completed by ourselves or by another company.
Delivery of the agreed programme cost and quality to the agreed scope of works are vital to a successful project, and we provide the following items which assist in achieving the objectives.
Construction drawings
In addition to the design, planning and regulations drawings that we provide, builders may also require further construction drawings to help them identify the finer details of the construction. That ranges from fixtures and fittings, switches, additions, and any other specific project requirements like exclusions too.
Schedule of works
Working with the builder to create clear, accurate and realistic time frames is also another challenge of the project. We create a schedule of works that can be used as a general guideline throughout the entire build. This keeps both you and the builder in the loop about the expected progress of the build, and any issues that may arise too.
Tendering
We work with you to select and vet the right builder for the job, looking at their previous project experience, reviews, pricing, and using our own recommendations and experience to give you all of the information you need.
Contract administration
Both you and the builder are protected by contractual agreements, that outline the requirements of the project, working conditions, and any other details of the job. That also includes the builder’s specific information such as quotations, insurance, and other areas of their profession. Having this contract to the highest standard, signed by both parties, means you’re both protected and recorded in relation to legal requirements and obligations.
Site inspections
As the project progresses, we will visit the site fortnightly throughout our management, ensuring everything is moving accordingly, receiving status updates, and dealing with any issues should they arise from both you and the builder. We can voice any concerns you may have for you, without any added hassle or worry.
- Our expertise and experience
- Become a single point of contact for the build.
- Improve the efficiency of the project
- Ensure good communication throughout the project
- Control costs, programme and quality.

This is the second project I have used CK Architects on and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to others. Karen is highly professional, friendly, and quick, listened to our requirements and acted on everything so beautifully. We are very impressed with the fast, efficient service provided by CK Architectural Design staff members.
Exactly what I wanted. No sales rubbish, no broken promises. They did exactly what I asked for, right first time, for the exact price quoted. I'd definitely use the company again.
Excellent service and communication. The company correctly and quickly identified my requirements, and worked accurately and within (very reasonable) quotation. Any queries and additional dimensions or details which the design engineer had, were clearly requested, allowing me to be able to quickly furnish the exact information and measurements, and negating the need for site visits, thus keeping costs in check. The first draft of the engineering drawings were very impressive - as a project engineer involved in the materials handling industry, I am well used to working with and interpreting CAD drawings, so was able to appreciate the high level of detail and clarity therein. I have been pleased and impressed with the service provided and care taken by CK Architectural, in bringing this part of my project to a successful conclusion - the Local Authority Building Control department accepted the drawings and specifications at first draft, without any amendments or changes. I am happy to recommend this company to anyone seeking a friendly, helpful, skilled and professional service.
CK Architectural led us through our whole project of two significant extensions from start to finish. At the outset during concept the input was both practical and creative. Several of our own ideas were improved upon and other ideas added. The creation of the designs was collaborative with CKA listening to our needs and wishes and incorporating them as practically possible. The budget was agreed with CKA and they kept a tight lid on the finances. The initial plan was actually built within budget, and we just crept over due to a couple of unforeseen changes, such as the roof tiles to match current being discontinued and therefore we chose to have a new roof. CKA made frequent visits to site and it always felt as if they had the project under control. It is not until you embark upon a venture such as this, as a novice, that you realise how complex it all is. However, with CKA leading the way on drawing completion, obtaining planning permission, appointing reputable contractors and managing Building Control eveything felt smooth and was stress free for us as the client. For the service we received we thought CKS priced their involvement very fairly.
CK Architectural where very thorough, professional and prompt when drawing up our plans, providing options and guidance when choosing & deciding what would work best with the space created. Any additional questions/queries where also answered straight away and always provided useful information. Very pleased with the service received and have recommended to friends and family.
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueI use CK Architectural being a builder and have for a number of years now, with absolutely nothing but professionalism and great feedback from the team.All that and good value for your money.Personally I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Positive: ProfessionalismChris gave a brilliant service for our loft conversion design, including all planning details for the local authority, and completion of working drawings. the service was without question excellent, especially since this was all through a pandemic. Thankyou
Fantastic service from the start, building work to start next week but couldn’t be happier with the designs and professionalism from the company.Will be recommending to all.
Great service - innovative thinking and timely responses. Can’t wait for the next project they can help me with! Would not hesitate to recommend.
Enjoyed working with CK on our loft conversion, kept us updated along the way and very happy with the outcome and the service. Would highly recommend
I have used CK Architectural for numerous project over the past few years and find them to be attentive, conscientious and very reliable. And most of all they offer excellent value for money.
For someone far removed from the building / planning industries the thought of where to start when thinking of a big extension project to my house (two story to the side and wrap around of semi-detached 3 bed) was a little daunting at first. Luckily, after obtaining a competitive quote, I enlisted the services of CK Architectural and have been very impressed with not only the service received but the ease at which they have made the whole process. After listening to my thoughts and the reasons for needing the extension work doing, the architect came up with a great design that encompassed everything that was needed. Even when I changed my mind over a couple of aspects, Donna, Chris and the team were quick to administer any alterations. Every visit to the house for measurements / planning etc has happened without a hitch with all members of the team we've encountered being punctual and professional at all times. The best thing has been by far the ease at which CK have made of getting all council and local authority sign off for the project. All I have needed to do is pay the fees at the required time, no stress involved and all went through seamlessly. I'm now at the stage where I have the drawings to hand and have submitted them to builders to obtain quotes. Importantly, the feedback so far from the builders indicates the project to be within the budget specifications I explained to CK during the first consultation. Very happy customer 🙂 Carl.
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueHighly recommend CK Architectural. Chris and his team did a great job gaining planning permission for a new build and renovation of an existing property. We hit some dead ends with the planning officer but Chris found different ways of getting around the problems without going over budget.
We have use the team at CK Architectural on 2 projects of ours over the years. They have never let us down. They have always worked with us to produce the designs we wanted and handled everything for us through the Planning and Building Control stage, keeping us updated at the carious stages. We will most certainly use again if we decide to do another project.
Proffesional, helpful & a great price. Produced hard copies & electronic of everything we needed. What more could you ask for .
Chris’ attention to detail and professionalism was second to none. I would highly recommend him and his Company.
Brilliant company, great service from start to finish, cant recommend highly enough.
