Our Services

Establishment and definition of internal project briefs
As your internal consultant, we support you in creating an internal project brief (Excecutive Project Summary) that contains all your company’s intentions, outlines the streamlined project management, defines the deliverables, the success indicators and goals, the milestone timeline, and the team diagram of the project participants.

Selection of the lease space to suit the project brief and your expansion intentions
With a well thought-out Excecutive Project Summary, we accompany and advise you as your internal consultant on the selection of the appropriate lease ensuring you select your ideal future work environment. The selection report we prepare for you after the visits, takes into account your project milestone demands vs base build timeline, technical due-dilicence brief of the base build, advantages and disadvantages of the base build capabilities.

Advise on technical lease negotiations (landlord-tenant interfaces) to ensure that the base build is suitable and fit for purpose for your project requirements
Strong interface negotiations in the lease are crucial, not only for saving rent, but also for saving operating costs as well as time during the fit-out and when vacating the premises in the future. GullCon GmbH has vast experience in advising on technical lease negotiations, ensuring a strong interface paper that can save your business massive operating costs and significantly support a smooth interface between landlord and tenant fitout works. It can also help you free up time for your design and architectural development of the space creation without creating delays for the base build works.

Client representation & coordination of stakeholders during the design intent, architectural procurement, and value engineering
As your internal consultant we represent you during all meetings with architects, engineers and contractors ensuring the design is being procured with your demands and wishes in front of mind as well we are ensuring that the value engineering is not affecting the quality and keeping your design fit for your needs.

Cost and programme monitoring
With a superintendent approach, we prepare a weekly cost and programme report tailored to your needs and containing the information you need for your internal reporting. This also ensures that cost and programme variances are identified, discussed and addressed at an early stage in order to keep the project on time and within budget.

Subcontractor tender, comparison, and evaluation
Will be there to monitor and represent your interests during the establishment of the subcontractor tender documents ensuring that the contractors are fully aware of their scope of work and deliverables which prevents most of the undesired extra costs during the construction period. Once the bids have been received, we represent you to sit with the architects and engineers to prepare the evaluation documentation keeping your demands in front of mind.

Award talks and service level expectation alignment
As your consultant, we represent and support you during the procurement discussions with the subcontractors. Not only do we ensure that you get the best value for money and that the subcontractor considers the entire scope of work, but we also ensure that the subcontractors agree to a set of service level requirements. This in turn, ensures a smooth working relationship during the construction phase and prevents additional costs as service level expectations from you and the contractors are aligned with the lump sums provided. We ensure that all contractual obligations between you and the architect, the landlord, the contractors, and the engineers are cascaded down to the subcontractors, so that you do not face any discrepancies during the construction phase. This guarantees smooth implementation of the work, which is carried out on time and within budget as part of a partnership approach.

Project management – representation of the client
We can represent you either for agreed partial services or as project manager for the entire project.

Client-side Site Management mandate (GullCon & third parties)
We can provide a client-side site manager to accompany the general contractor or architect on site to help answer all their day-to-day questions in a timely manner and to ensure that your HSE, IT/AV and finishing quality requirements are met. One of the many great benefits of this mandate is that we ensure the final product meets your expectations and meets your requirements at the practical completion walk. This leads to almost a defect free practical completion, which in turn guarantees you occupy the space with satisfaction and without disruption.

Client representation at on-site construction, architect, engineer, authority, and landlord meetings
At every project meeting, we are there to represent you and your project requirements. We do not make decisions without first consulting with you and ensure that all parties involved fulfil their duties and responsibilities, whilst acting with your demands in front of mind. We also ensure to get everyone’s questions answered in a timely manner so as not to delay the schedule.

Finance, programme and contract controlling
On a weekly basis, we monitor the contractors and architects on site to produce a progress report tailored to your needs, giving you a clear overview of actual costs against budget and programme slippages. We also advise you on contract administration required to maintain your rights and to address matters at an early stage to keep the project on time and within budget.

Practical Completion
During the practical completion inspection walks of the individual trades, in cooperation with the architects, engineers, landlords, authorities and the general contractor, we represent you and ensure that only the highest quality finishes are accepted. We also ensure that no practical completion certificate is issued to contractors without full project documentation, a final invoice, warranties, and a complete fit-for-purpose execution.

Defect rectification pre- and post-occupancy
We will make every effort on your behalf to ensure that all possible defects are remedied before you move in and will coordinate any outstanding defects after move-in. We are there for you to ensure the least possible disruption to your day-to-day business by respresenting your rights in front of the contractors. This service is best offered to you with the above Client-side Site Management mandate alongside the project management mandate. However, it can also be offered as an additional service if there is demand.
