Principles and ExperienceWe are a customer-focused organisation with multi-disciplinary teams of highly qualified, professional staff providing a wide range of construction related expertise and resources. Continued expansion illustrates our ability to provide best value and successfully assist clients in providing accurate data, enabling funding and construction operations to be planned and executed effectively.Bespoke services are tailored to meet clients’ requirements. We use a “no-nonsense” approach to service delivery and prefer to assist in developing the client’s brief which helps us to produce innovative solutions to achieve mutual aims whether time, budget, quality or service related. Extensive experience of partnering helps us develop sustainable, beneficial relationships with associated service providers.
Regarding cost monitoring, all members of staff are trained as cost managers, not price managers who simply act as a mailbox through which contractors advise clients of the cost involved. Costs are checked to ensure that they are reasonable before being advised to a client. There can be nothing more frustrating than knowing that a consultant has not checked figures before they have been passed on to the client.
It is important to us and our reputation that we are seen as a proactive organisation.
The Vinden Partnership has considerable experience working in partnership with companies requiring construction consultancy services. We are proud of the fact that much of our business is repeat business from clients who are pleased with our services.
We never underestimate the challenges to be overcome to ensure a partnership is successful. For collaborative working from the onset, a Core Group should be formed, attended by senior personnel from each organisation and clear common objectives set. Meetings early on are vital so that opinions are shared. It is important that all parties who will be working together get to know each other and their methods of working as soon as possible. Acquiring the support of senior management from each party is critical to influencing and managing the cultural changes that the staff will face when breaking away from more traditional methods. It is vital that, during the lead-in, collaborative working practices are established that focus on the achievement of mutual goals and objectives.
We employ only the very highest calibre of person within every specialist area of our business which means we are armed with the best minds that enable us to look at projects objectively and provide our clients with innovative recommendations, designs and answers to problems that would otherwise seriously hinder the advancement of a project.
