AJA PC LTD: Why Construction Management?

Construction management is an alternative form of procurement that has provided our Clients with fantastic results compared to more traditional methods of procurement.

The main identifying feature of construction management is that the Client engages each of the Trade Contractors on a direct basis without a traditional main contractor. We are appointed on a professional basis to deliver the project in a similar way to the professional design team. This provides the Client with an organisation that will strive to deliver the project to ensure the most successful outcome without the distraction of making potentially selfish commercial decisions. 

This is a non-adversarial method of procurement that allows the Client, design team, construction manager and trade contractors to collaborate to ensure the best outcome for the project.

We have a core of dedicated construction managers who possess the skills and experience to deliver a broad spectrum of projects throughout the UK. We are particularly skilled at delivering extremely fast-tracked projects, with AJA PC LTD establishing the management framework to deliver your entire on-site project requirements. The in-house support provided by our multi-disciplinary approach is one of the core strengths and main reasons for the continued success of our business.
