What Construction Management Means at R2G

Construction management is the coordination and oversight of the construction process on behalf of the client. The construction manager does not build — they select the builder, manage the contract, review progress claims, inspect the work, and represent the client's interests on site.

At R2G, construction management is performed by the same director who designed the project and managed the approval. He already knows the design, the conditions of consent, and the consultant team. There is no handover. No gaps.

No handover. No gaps.

The director who designed your project and managed the DA is the same director who manages your build. He knows the approved drawings, the consent conditions, and the consultant team. That continuity is what protects your project.

What's Included

Seven service elements delivered under one construction management engagement.

📋

Builder Selection & Procurement

We prepare tender packages, issue tenders to qualified builders from our registered trade network, review submissions, and recommend a builder.

📄

Contract Management

We review the building contract before execution, advise on key risk provisions, and ensure the contract aligns with the scope of works and approved DA conditions.

📅

Pre-Construction Planning

Construction programme, preliminary trade sequencing, council pre-commencement condition compliance, and certifier engagement.

🔍

Site Supervision

Regular site inspections at critical stages: footings, concrete pours, frame, pre-lockup, waterproofing, and pre-completion. Inspection reports provided after each visit.

Progress Claim Review

We review all trade and builder progress claims against actual site progress before authorising payment. You don't pay for work that isn't done.

🔥

Quality Assurance

Stage-by-stage quality checkpoints based on the approved drawings and conditions of consent.

07

Client Reporting

Monthly written progress report covering: programme status, budget tracking, outstanding items, and upcoming milestones.

Who This Is For

  • Developers who want construction managed professionally, without being the builder's point of contact every day
  • Clients who completed a DA with R2G and want the same team to see the project through construction
  • Investors and owner-builders who need independent construction oversight

We Manage the Builder. We Don't Build.

This structure matters. When R2G acts as construction manager, we represent your interests — not the builder's. We review their progress claims critically, inspect their work independently, and hold them accountable to the contract.

That is a fundamentally different relationship to having the builder manage their own quality.

"Most construction managers have never built a project. They bring a clipboard and a spreadsheet. Our director brings 22 years of site experience, a builder's licence, and a structural engineering background. He doesn't just inspect the work — he understands it."

How Construction Management Works

01

Engagement & Review

We review the approved drawings, conditions of consent, and consultant reports. For projects designed by others, this review is required before we commence.

02

Builder Selection

Tender package prepared, tenders issued to qualified builders, submissions reviewed, and preferred builder recommended to client.

03

Construction Phase

Regular site inspections, progress claim review, RFI management, variation assessment, and monthly client reporting — through every stage of the build.

04

Practical Completion

Pre-completion inspection, defect identification, certifier coordination, and final handover documentation management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is R2G the builder on the project?

No. R2G acts as construction manager — we manage and oversee the builder on your behalf. This structure protects your interests.

Can you manage a construction project that R2G didn't design?

Yes, provided we review the approved drawings and conditions of consent first.

Do you manage trades separately, or is it a head contract?

We can structure either. A head contractor model is most common.
