Design
and Build
The
Group was an early adopter of the benefits to both client and developer
of Design & Build Contracting, having over 30 years' experience in this
form of construction. Offering short lines of communication, minimising
the client's management time input, price certainty can be guaranteed.

Project
Management
Some
schemes are more appropriate to a Construction Management approach, either
because time constraints do not permit the lead times for full risk transfer
to contractor/developer or because our experienced clients are comfortable
with the inherent risks of the construction process. Our construction
managers are experienced in this form of development.

Infrastructure
Projects
All
developments rely on services and highway infrastructure. These items
can contribute a significant proportion of the ultimate development costs,
and delays in their delivery can be equally costly. Abbey Manor Group
have therefore developed systems to ensure the timely completion of infrastructure
both on and off site. PPG 25 has placed increased emphasis on measures
to control storm and flood waters. We pride ourselves on finding innovative,
cost-effective solutions to these, and other, development constraints.

Planning
Advice
As
the time horizons of our plan lead development control system become ever
longer, early planning advice is essential in order to ensure that the
maximum value is derived from potential development land. Through a number
of mechanisms including Options, Development Agreements and Joint Ventures,
Abbey Manor Group are able to assist landowners to realise the full potential
of their assets.
