Frequently Asked Questions
-
A construction project manager oversees every phase of a building project on the client's behalf — from initial planning and procurement through to practical completion. This includes managing the design team, administering the construction contract under for example - NZS 3910, monitoring site progress, controlling costs, coordinating stakeholders, and ensuring health and safety obligations are met.
-
If your project involves a contractor, a design team, a programme, and a budget you need to protect, then yes — a project manager is one of the most effective ways to reduce risk and improve outcomes. Owners who manage construction projects directly without specialist support frequently encounter cost overruns, programme delays, and contract disputes that an experienced project manager would have caught early.
-
NZS 3910 is the standard form of conditions of contract most commonly used for commercial construction in New Zealand. Contract administration under NZS 3910 involves managing payment claims, assessing variations, granting or rejecting extensions of time, issuing instructions, and certifying practical completion. BPM's project managers are experienced in the Engineer to the Contract role under NZS 3910 and its 2023 updated edition.
-
BPM assists clients in defining the right procurement strategy for their project — whether that's competitive tender, negotiated contract, early contractor involvement (ECI), or a design-and-build approach. We prepare tender packages, evaluate submissions, and advise on contractor selection based on capability, price, and programme — not just the lowest number.
-
A project manager oversees delivery — managing the contractor, programme, risks, and stakeholder relationships. A quantity surveyor focuses on costs — estimating, budgeting, tendering, and financial reporting. BPM provides both services in-house, which means your project benefits from fully integrated cost and delivery oversight rather than two separate advisors who may not be aligned.
-
Yes. BPM has in-house quantity surveyors available in Christchurch, Auckland, Wellington, Tasman, Queenstown, and across New Zealand and the Pacific. Our QS services include cost planning, tender evaluation, contract assessment, insurance replacement estimating, and ongoing financial reporting throughout the construction phase.
