Client Representation
At fifty2 we represent clients’ interests by acting as a single point of contact for the duration of the project. We utilise our expertise gathered in the local market, along with knowledge of supply chain, to provide a seamless delivery within the agreed timeframe and according to the expected quality.
By engaging with the client to establish and define the budget prior to any other consultants being involved, we can manage the design process within the stipulated commercial parameters so that the client’s expectations are met.
Project Monitoring
We will monitor the project on behalf of an owner, developer or fund and by working with the appointed project management and consultant teams, we will provide, without exception, objective reporting on cost, quality, delivery and risk. This gives the client ultimate control over the final outcome and our services can be kept flexible in order to accommodate specific requirements.
