We offer an end-to-end project delivery service with a dedicated team at the heart of it all. Effective project management stems from building strong, long-term relationships with our clients. We listen carefully to your goals and aspirations and work collaboratively to understand the unique nature of your project.
Our aim is to deliver your vision whilst honouring constraints, such as scope, time, and budget.
We are masterful planners. We dissect client briefs and apply our expertise to help create your vision. Each project is carefully assessed to understand your functional objectives. Within the planning phase, we undertake feasibility studies and provide a clear conceptual brief. We’re comfortable engaging with stakeholders at multiple levels to meet your project goals.
Our expert Contract Administrators and Employers Agents proactively manage the relationship between employer and contractor during the construction phase. This involves clear, timely reporting to the client, management of changes and payments and ensuring effective communication across the project team.
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations aim to improve health and safety in construction, placing legal duties on employers, designers and contractors. Barker can help clients and the professional team discharge their duties under CDM as a stand-alone service or as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
