McBains Cooper is a leading professional consultancy, specialising in property, infrastructure and construction, offering a wide range of consulting and design services in the UK, Europe and Latin America

Project Management

Project management is the planning, organisation, and direction of resources in order to deliver and achieve specific objectives within a unique project environment. As leader of the project team, McBains Cooper provides a dynamic, professional project management service to meet the property and construction needs of our Clients.

In an increasingly more complex business environment many organisations seek independent project management expertise to achieve a successful project outcome, avoiding potential pitfalls and to manage and minimise risks. We operate a flexible approach, which is tailored to the specific needs of the project and Client, ensuring that it is safely delivered to the required time, cost and quality standards.

Our expertise is from a wide variety of backgrounds and experience including the surveying, architecture and engineering disciplines. Our senior staff possess additional post chartered level project management qualifications. This ensures we can best manage projects effectively throughout the project lifecycle from inception through to operation and ultimately decommissioning and disposal.

We value our people and ensuring that human management capabilities fully complement technical skills. Building and positively sustaining project team relationships through the often lengthy duration of works is key to success.
