Project Delivery Management
CPM New Zealand provides targeted project management advisory focusing on project controls, procurement oversight, and contract administration without requiring full-time, on-site involvement.
As a RIBA-aligned advisory, we ensure projects follow a structured, best-practice framework, defining clear roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes that drive efficiency and accountability.
Procurement strategy is a key part of RIBA Stage 4, directly impacting project execution, risk, and cost control in later stages. We guide clients on best practices, model selection, and contract governance, ensuring procurement aligns with project goals without directly managing procurement activities.
During construction (Stage 5), we support contractor coordination, claims review, and compliance audits to minimize delays and cost overruns.
In handover and close-out (Stage 6), we oversee quality sign-offs, financial completion, and as-built documentation accuracy for a smooth transition to operations. For post-occupancy (Stage 7), we can provide strategic performance reviews, asset management planning, and operational risk assessments to optimize long-term efficiency.
By implementing the RIBA framework, we enhance project governance, minimize risk, and ensure precision in execution. We step in where our expertise is most valuable, providing oversight and solutions, helping you deliver well-managed, financially viable projects with confidence.
