A Bit About Chris
Christopher, our Project Consultant has accrued 15 years of industry experience, absorbing deep technical knowledge of construction and understanding of contract management – specifically within the insurance funded sector.

Christopher’s company undertook insurance funded contracts for 10 years and as a result he gained invaluable knowledge of the insurance funded infrastructure and logistics whilst also a broad understanding of contractual mechanics and techniques. Christopher has been responsible for both commercial and operational management, organising over 100+ insurance and privately funded contracts from £10k-£5m over a 15-year period. After dissolving his business to seek new adventures Christopher joined the successful Milestone Group as a senior contracts’ manager and eventually Team Lead in Business Development.

Contracts Management
Contract management in construction refers to the process of creating, negotiating, executing, monitoring contracts between parties involved in a construction project. This includes managing the legal and financial aspects of the contracts, ensuring compliance with regulations and standards, and resolving any disputes that may arise. Effective contracts management is crucial for the success of any construction, as it helps to minimize risks, ensure accountability, and promote transparency.
Programme creation and reporting
Construction programme management is a specialised discipline within the field of construction management that focuses on overseeing and coordinating multiple construction projects simultaneously. It involves the strategic planning, organization, and execution of a portfolio of construction projects, with the aim of achieving the client’s objectives in terms of quality, cost, schedule, and scope. It’s a comprehensive approach that goes beyond individual project management, providing a holistic view of the entire programme.
Client & Contractor Account Negotiation
Contract negotiation in construction projects refers to the intricate process of reaching mutually agreeable terms and conditions between various stakeholders involved in construction endeavours. It involves discussions, compromises, and agreements regarding project scope, timelines, costs, and contractual obligations. It includes: contract sum and payments, project scope and deliverables, risk allocation, collaborative approach, legal considerations.
