How We Work

Our Values

To achieve our vision, and consistently live our common-sense approach, we have a simple set of values throughout that drive our business performance forward.

Aim high

We use our skills and expertise to find new ways to deliver great service. We recognize that one size does not fit all: every project is different and requires a diverse blend of expertise to provide bespoke and innovative solutions.

Trust

We're at our best when we collaborate to form a powerful, winning team. We believe in listening, and combine our expertise to create trusted partnerships. We keep our promises, and we don't let people down.

Expertise

Consultancy Services

Tailored, common-sense solutions spanning the entire project lifecycle, delivered in collaboration with hotel-experienced specialists.

Construction Management

A collaborative, transparent delivery tool placing us on the same side of the table as our clients, forming one team and one agenda.

We manage projects via works packages, working closely with professional trade contractors chosen through a rigid selection process. By linking the design team closely with trade contractors, we embed operational expertise directly into the design phase. Appointments are fee-based, ensuring transparent cost management where you pay for actual agreed costs rather than unfounded general contracting risk premiums.

Our CM Services include:

  • Procurement & trade contractor selection
  • Strategic planning & program alignment
  • Risk, value, and contingency management
  • Principal Contractor appointments & site supervision
  • Change control & cost/design management integration

Process

The Project Roadmap

We manage projects from initial concept through to the handover, partnering with your resources at every critical stage.

Phase 1

Inception & Brief Formulation

Every successful project starts on a solid foundation. In the early stages, we closely collaborate with you to define your business goals, target timelines, and core constraints. This initial brief acts as the blueprint for everything that follows.

  • Define brand aspirations & requirements
  • Establish commercial boundaries & space plans
  • Outline strategic timelines & high-level constraints
Common Sense Procurement

Why Construction Management?

A transparent alternative to traditional main contracting that aligns project incentives and reduces unnecessary risks.

Feature / Attribute Construction Management (CM) Traditional Contracting
Financial Transparency Full transparency. Clients pay actual trade subcontractor costs. Appointments are fee-based. Opaque lump sums. Trade costs are wrapped in hidden packages with margins.
Risk Pricing Eliminated. Subcontractor package risks are priced directly. No main contractor contingency markup. Main contractors add heavy markups to offset general, assumed risks.
Collaboration Alignment One Team. Cornerstone sits on the client's side of the table. Incentives align to optimize value. Adversarial. The contractor's margin increases if they find errors or claim variations.
Trade Integration Direct. Designers work alongside trade specialists early on to embed operational experience. Sequenced. Trade contractors are appointed late, missing early design integration opportunities.
Flexibility / Change Control High. Variations are priced directly at trade costs. Design shifts are accommodated fluidly. Rigid. Variation claims are leveraged by main contractors for margin increases.
