Project Management
Unlock Your Property's True Potential, Without the Hassle.
Strategic Planning & Design Consultation
Every successful project begins long before the first wall is knocked down; it begins with a robust and intelligent plan. We start by working closely with you to understand your goals, whether it's a quick, high-impact refresh to attract new tenants or a full-scale renovation to maximise your property's capital value. We then translate that vision into a detailed scope of work, a transparent budget, and a realistic timeline. Our expertise isn't just in building; it's in knowing which upgrades deliver the highest return on investment, ensuring every pound spent is working to enhance your asset.
On-the-Ground Project Management & Execution
This is where our expertise becomes your peace of mind. Once the plan is agreed upon, we deploy our own hand-picked, trusted team of contractors and tradespeople—the very same team that executes our own high-spec projects. A dedicated SJB project manager acts as your single point of contact, overseeing every detail on-site. We manage all schedules, coordinate all trades, handle procurement, and conduct rigorous quality control checks throughout the process. You will receive clear, regular progress updates, giving you full visibility without the stress of managing the day-to-day operations. You can step back completely, confident that a professional is protecting your interests and ensuring the project stays on schedule and on budget.
Seamless Completion & Transparent Handover
A project isn't finished until it's perfect. As the refurbishment nears completion, we conduct a meticulous final inspection and create a detailed "snagging" list to ensure every detail meets our exacting standards. Once we are satisfied, we provide you with a full project handover, including all relevant documentation and certificates. Furthermore, we believe in absolute financial transparency, so you will receive a final, reconciled budget that provides complete clarity on where every penny was spent. We hand back the keys to a stunning, fully compliant, and ready-to-rent property, primed to achieve its maximum market potential.
End-to-End Refurbishment Project Management
Property refurbishment can transform a below-market acquisition into a high-yield asset—or it can spiral into delays, cost overruns, and substandard workmanship. Most landlords manage refurbishments themselves, juggling contractors, inspections, decisions, and disputes on top of their day job. Others hire project managers hourly, incurring open-ended costs and competing priorities. We offer a fixed-fee project management service for refurbishments in Greater Manchester: 15% of net project cost, with transparent scope, fixed timeline, and quality guarantee.
When you appoint us to manage your refurbishment, we take ownership of the entire process. We scope the works precisely (room-by-room breakdown, material specifications, timescales), identify and vet contractors from our established Greater Manchester network, manage procurement (materials, labour, specialist services), oversee day-to-day execution, conduct quality inspections at each phase, manage change orders and disputes, and ensure regulatory compliance (building regs sign-off, safety certifications, asbestos surveys).
Why our approach works:
Contractors we use are familiar. We've worked with the same plasterers, electricians, plumbers, and decorators across our portfolio; they know our standards, meet timelines, and deliver consistent quality. We don't shop around for bargain rates on every job—false economy that usually results in rework and delays. We maintain vendor relationships that incentivise reliability.
Our team is on-site regularly—not just at handover. Problems are caught early. Decisions are made quickly; we don't wait for absentee landlords to approve every detail. Progress is photographed and reported weekly.
We've refined this on our own projects: Project Vienna required full structural reconfiguration (chimney breasts removed, structural walls taken out, M&E upgrades)—eight-week timeline, no surprises. Project Gradwell involved cellar-to-studio conversion requiring architect drawings, building regulations approval, and specialist engineering—delivered on schedule, within budget, fully compliant.
For landlords in Greater Manchester seeking to refurbish BTL or HMO properties, this means predictable costs, faster timelines, quality assurance, and one less headache. Our fee is earned when the works finish on time and to spec.
