Driving profitable property growth through project management:

A lot goes on behind the scenes when you’re developing an HMO or any rental property. From managing contractors to juggling permits, planning, and budget control, it’s easy to get lost in the chaos of paperwork, managing team members and ensuring you stay on track.

With HMO Architects, our project management service is designed to take the weight off your shoulders. We handle every aspect of your HMO development with precision and care, ensuring it’s delivered smoothly from start to finish. Our approach is simple but thorough, so we always deliver the best possible outcome.

1. Initial Consultation: Setting Clear Goals

Success in any project starts with solid planning. During our initial consultation, we take the time to understand your vision—whether you’re converting a property into an HMO or undertaking a new build, whichever development that may be. We assess your project’s scope, budget, and timelines. From there, we create a detailed roadmap, ensuring everything is clear from day one. This includes:

● Ensuring compliance with local HMO regulations.
● A thorough breakdown of timelines and milestones.
● Feasibility assessments to ensure the project is financially sound.
● An assessment of the contractors needed to carry out the work.

This stage ensures everyone is on the same page, reducing the chance of any surprises later on.

2. Budgeting and Cost Control

Managing costs is one of the biggest challenges in any property development. We tackle this from the outset by developing a comprehensive budget covering all project aspects, from construction materials to labour costs.

We break down the budget into easy-to-understand sections, providing complete transparency while also doing our utmost to come up with ways to save money without compromising on the quality of the finished product.

Throughout the project, we monitor expenses carefully, making adjustments where necessary and keeping you informed of any cost increases, such as variations or EOTs (Extensions of Time).

We focus on delivering the project without unexpected costs, ensuring your HMO or property development remains profitable.

3. Tendering and Contractor Selection

Choosing the right contractors is a critical step, and we manage this through a structured tendering process. We help you:

● Create a long list of potential candidates, drawing from recommendations and thorough research.
● Send invitations to tender, ensuring builders express interest within a set deadline.
● Conduct due diligence—checking past projects, client reviews, and the contractors’ compliance with industry standards.

Once a shortlist is created, we invite the selected builders to submit formal proposals, including everything from construction drawings to work schedules.

This allows us to compare bids on a like-for-like basis. We don’t just consider cost; we also look at their problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to deliver on time.

4. Managing Your Building Team

Choosing the right contractors is a critical step, and we manage this through a structured tendering process. We help you:

● Create a long list of potential candidates, drawing from recommendations and thorough research.
● Send invitations to tender, ensuring builders express interest within a set deadline.
● Conduct due diligence—checking past projects, client reviews, and the contractors’ compliance with industry standards.

Once a shortlist is created, we invite the selected builders to submit formal proposals, including everything from construction drawings to work schedules.

5. Timeline and Scheduling

Time needs to be treated as a resource when it comes to any kind of property development. Delays can eat into your profits, so we create a detailed project schedule that ensures every phase of the build is properly allocated the right amount of time by making informed decisions.

We’re proactive in managing potential disruptions, such as variations caused by unforeseen site conditions or requests for extensions of time from contractors. By staying on top of these issues, and making preemptive decisions, we keep your project moving forward as efficiently as possible.

6. Final Inspection and Handover

Once the build is complete, our HMO project managers will oversee a thorough final inspection, including snagging, to ensure everything is up to the highest standard before handing over the keys. This includes checking compliance with fire safety regulations, electrical certifications, and any last-minute fixes or adjustments.

We also take care of the final paperwork and necessary certifications, ensuring the property is fully ready for tenants. With our step-by-step methods to project management, we manage every aspect of your project to ensure a smooth, stress-free handover delivered on time and within budget.
