Client-Side Construction and Building Project Management

On most developments every party has someone representing their interests. Client-side project management makes sure you have the same, an independent voice working only to your brief. We hold the program and the budget on your behalf, run the approvals and the procurement, and give you the visibility to decide while there is still room to decide.

Your Trusted Construction Project Management Consultants

Building projects of every size stall when the planning is loose. A variation goes unquestioned in week six, council holds an approval three weeks longer than the program allowed, and by month four the conversation has moved from progress to cost. Clear structure, one point of accountability and honest reporting keep cost and progress in the same conversation from week one.

We are client-side project managers, which means we work for you and not for the builder. We do not hold the trade contracts, so our read on a variation carries no commercial interest of our own. You get an independent view of program, cost and risk, and you get it while there is still a decision to make.

As construction project management consultants, we work across new builds, fit-outs and multi-site rollouts. We cover the whole program; feasibility and budgeting before you commit, site location analysis if you are choosing between options, council and regulatory approvals, procurement and tendering, then oversight of construction and site establishment. Some clients want all of it. Others want the part their own team cannot cover, and we step in for that alone. Whatever your requirements, you’ll get one point of accountability for program, cost and risk.

The building projects we manage

The cheapest change on any building project happens before design. Once you have drawings and a builder, most of your money is committed. So we ask to be involved during feasibility, while comparing two sites or reshaping the program is still a conversation rather than a variation.

We offer our project management consulting services for:

Healthcare and clinical buildings, including hospitals, day surgeries and medical centres
Specialised disability accommodation and supported housing
Hotels, hostels and short-stay accommodation, including wellness additions to operating sites
Hospitality venues and commercial fit-out
Multi-site rollouts, where the first build becomes the template for the next twelve
Site establishment, covering utilities, access and safety

How we run delivery is deliberately plain. One person is accountable for the program. Cost is tracked as it moves rather than reconciled at month end, and value engineering happens before the tender goes out rather than after it comes back high. Every project runs on a dashboard you can log into, so the numbers you are looking at are the numbers we are looking at.

Ayres Consulting works as construction consultants from offices on the Gold Coast and in Sydney, with growing healthcare, hospitality and specialised accommodation providers across Australia. The brief is usually the same one: build the next project without the whole thing landing on two people internally.
