Streamlined project management for your construction needs
Emms Consultancy Limited
Who we are and what we do?
Emms Consultancy Limited provides expert construction consultancy services in project controls, cost management, and project management to clients in the new build, fit-out, refurbishment, commercial, and residential sectors across EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa).
After conducting market research, Richard Emms launched his company in November 2021. With minimal marketing, the company quickly expanded into the banking, high end residential construction and provides various clients with quantity surveying and project control with monitoring advisory services.
'We recognize that every client and project is unique, so we avoid predetermined formulas or off-the-shelf solutions for delivery. Our experience has taught us that the most successful projects are those where we facilitate collaboration among participants, contributing to the development of the commercial and scheduling process. Some of our clients have approached us for assistance with other project-related matters. As a result, we offer experienced resources in project and project management, as well as technical due diligence experts who are available to provide sound advice.'

Construction Planning and Scheduling

Construction Planning and Scheduling
Before drafting any schedule, we always remind ourselves of who the 'audience' is, to ensure they find the information they are looking for. It is essential that we begin drafting our schedules with this understanding, and we take pride in dedicating time to understanding the audience, their needs, and their requirements.
We are fully licensed in both Powerproject (formerly known as Asta) and Microsoft Project software products, which are capable of displaying schedules in any format you require. As a standard practice, all our schedules are linked with the critical path displayed.

Once we have completed the schedule, we are often asked to provide monitoring and reporting services. This typically involves a monthly review of the schedule and a forecast of where we believe the project is headed. We use two methods to determine this, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. A jagged progress line is useful for identifying tasks that are behind schedule. Although less clear, the other method compares the original (baseline) schedule with the forecast. In this method, the baseline is presented along side the live forecast so the reader can clearly see a comparison.
Additionally, we review contractors' tender schedules for logic and alignment with the client's requirements. If needed, we are also available to attend tender interviews and provide our recommendations.

With baseline monitoring, we can immediately inform you of the implications that delays are having on the overall project. Depending on the circumstances, we may be able to suggest mitigation strategies to reduce or even reverse a delay.
One of the major advantages of baseline monitoring is that an "as-built" schedule is being developed in the background. At the end of your project, we will be able to provide you with an "as-built" schedule to assist in planning future projects.

Our cost management service provides expert oversight and control of project expenses from initial planning through project completion, ensuring budgets are maintained, and resources are optimized. Our service typically includes cost estimation, budgeting, financial forecasting, value engineering, and cost tracking to identify and mitigate potential financial risks early in the project lifecycle. By using detailed analysis and cost-effective planning strategies, a construction cost management team helps clients avoid unexpected expenses and improve overall project efficiency. Our service is essential for stakeholders aiming to maximize their investment while adhering to timelines, quality standards, and budget constraints in construction projects of any scale.
