Formline

All in one solution
All in one solution
  • Separate core functions such as consultancy, design & construction which increases lines of communication, risk of plan duplication, timeframe & cost
  • One point of contact for everything you need to achieve project success including consultancy, design, fitout, refurbishment, construction, furniture, joinery
Time
Time
  • Communication backwards & forwards between multiple parties is inefficient and tender & re-design adds another whole phase = more time + money
  • 33%+ time saving with managing everything under one roof - efficient lines of communication between core functions and overall project management provides us the control needed to speed up the process
Value for money
Value for money
  • When dealing with multiple independent parties, there is lack of flexibility in value engineering.
  • Use value engineering strategies between core functions so you can get the most out of your budget without compromising on quality
Risk certainty
Risk certainty
  • Risk is spread across multiple parties and is not as visible
  • Manages the risk, and with our extensive experience with projects, we identify common pitfalls and ensure these are made visible early on before costs are incurred
Cost certainty
Cost certainty
  • With multiple parties involved there is much greater risk for a scope item to be missed in the contract. This leads to unforeseen & potentially costly variations after the contract is signed that threatens your budget.
  • Conduct a thorough site audit to ensure no costly technical details are overlooked and present a fixed contract that you can have confidence in
Upfront feasibilities
Upfront feasibilities
  • Cost is not known until after you've spent a lot of money developing a design - and there is no certainty that the end cost will match your budget, re-design is an expensive & time-consuming process
  • We give you a high level estimate upfront so you can weigh up your investment before having to spend money in the design stage
Workload for you
Workload for you
  • You have to manage communication & details between parties and this costs real time & money, and takes the focus away from growing your own business
  • Coordinates all core disciplines, taking care of the overall project management - we keep you well informed of progress & involve you on crucial decisions but do the volume of work ourselves so you can focus on growing your business
Aftercare & quality
Aftercare & quality
  • Leave the site with defects remaining & charge additional fees to come back and fix them up. Not interested in follow up work
  • As a team of perfectionists, we have an established reputation for quality workmanship and will not leave the site until you are satisfied. Aftercare is what we do
