Services
Method Arch can manage the whole delivery chain or step into a single phase.
Programme, cost and risk management principles applied to all of it.
Eight core services across delivery, procurement, programme and governance.
Acting as the Principal’s Representative from project establishment through handover — authority approvals, consultant and contractor coordination, and financier cost reporting across the full delivery chain.
Acting as the Superintendent across procurement, construction and handover — including under AS 4902-2000 D&C contracts — administered fairly and the project kept on track at every stage.
The whole project planned before design development begins — critical path mapped, delivery risks named, and governance set before problems form.
Full tender packages, ECI management and contractor appointment across D&C and traditional delivery, with minor-works packages isolating high-risk items such as contamination and utility relocations.
Leading consultant teams from concept to tender documentation — cost planning, constructability review and value engineering without compromising the design intent that attracted the purchaser.
Project budget management, cost control and feasibility verification from inception to completion, with periodic PCG reporting to financiers and investor groups.
Multi-authority strategies across Councils, VicTrack, Yarra Trams, Metro Trains, Citipower and water authorities — approval pathways kept off the construction critical path.
Governance frameworks, document control and bespoke project systems that keep every delivery partner aligned to a single source of truth.
Each phase has its own deliverables, gates and reporting rhythm.
We start with a detailed review of feasibility, site constraints, design, authority, and adjoining owner risks. From there, we set up project governance, a risk register, and a master delivery program covering all major steps to realise the project. The devil is in the detail.
We manage the consultant team in line with the Principal’s Project Requirements (PPR) and the planning permit. We progress the referral and service authority approvals needed to de-risk the design, finalise consultant scopes, and coordinate cost plan pricing.
We define what is needed to go to market, whether to a preferred early contractor or through competitive tender, and guide the design to meet it. We then compile a complete contract package, including PPR, preliminaries, authority matrix, and sales pack, and draft the tender package and conditions ready for issue.
We run the tender process, including RFIs, addenda, evaluation, and an initial value management workshop where required. We negotiate commercial terms, resolve clarifications to reduce your risk, and issue the tender recommendation, Letter of Intent and close out the contract negotiations to execution.
We work with the appointed Contractor to secure every approval needed to start onsite as per the development program. This can include service abolishments and relocations, adjoining owner and access agreements, protection works notices, and planning permit pre-construction condition close out.
We act as Superintendent under the building contract and as your Principal’s Representative on site. We monitor quality hold points and sign-offs, verify works against the PPR and contract of sale, and report on program status, construction costs and risks every month.
We oversee commissioning, third-party verifications, defect inspections, and the Practical Completion assessment. We close out plan of subdivision requirements to support timely titles and settlements, then assist handover to the Owners Corporation and building management team.
We administer the agreed defects liability period after Practical Completion — logging reported defects, coordinating contractor rectification, witnessing re-inspections, and closing out final retention releases on evidence.
We manage the early and enabling works that clear the way for construction. This includes complete design, tender and contract administration for packages like demolition, soft strip, display suites, authority relocations, and contamination removal.
