King and Drury understand that successful collaborations between architects or client's representatives and contractors are the cornerstone of any outstanding build. While this partnership can come with its challenges, the rewards of a strong working relationship are immense.

​

To ensure everything runs smoothly and the working relationship remains strong, every King and Drury project has a dedicated site manager who will be with you every step of the way, alongside a contracts manager and quantity surveyor for additional support. Read more about our Construction Teams.

Overcoming the Challenges

Clear Communication from Day One
Miscommunication often leads to project delays and costly mistakes. At King and Drury, we believe that open and frequent communication is the key to success. From the initial meeting through to the final handover, we ensure every stakeholder is aligned with regular site meetings, weekly update reports, and transparent feedback.

​

Balancing Design Vision with Practicality
While pushing the boundaries of design is important, practical constraints can challenge implementation. Our team works closely with architects to provide early input on feasibility, materials, and construction methods to bring your vision to life without compromising on practicality. We also manage the construction schedule, providing clear visibility on timelines, major dates, and key milestones throughout the process.

​

Managing Budget Constraints
Sticking to a budget can be tough, but it doesn’t have to limit creativity. With King and Drury’s extensive experience, we help explore cost-effective solutions, value engineering and alternative materials that keep your design intact while staying within budget. Our goal is always to deliver quality without cutting corners.

​

Dealing with On-Site Issues
Construction sites often present unforeseen challenges. With our proactive approach and a dedicated on-site site manager, we’re quick to identify and address these issues, collaborating closely with architects to adapt plans where necessary and keep the project moving forward smoothly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
