Project Management & Development Advisory

Practical project leadership, built on real construction and development experience.

Element CH is led by directors who've individually worked as consultants to a wide range of clients, in-house at developers, and on the contractor side — giving clients earlier risk awareness, sharper commercial judgement and more confidence at every decision point.

About Us

A different kind of project management consultancy

Element CH was founded on a simple belief: the best project leadership comes from people who've sat on every side of the table. Individually, our directors have advised a wide range of clients as consultants, worked directly inside development businesses, and delivered on the contractor side — not just administering projects, but shaping them, building them and answering for them.

That combined perspective now shapes every Element CH engagement — giving clients earlier risk identification, sharper commercial judgement and clearer decisions from strategy through to handover. Our clients are trusting us with significant capital and their own reputations, and we run every project accordingly: disciplined, transparent and accountable from day one.

Where we've sat, and what it taught us:
Consultant-Side

Years advising clients of every kind exposed us to different sectors, delivery techniques and client requirements — the breadth that makes a well-rounded professional.

Developer-Side

Time employed inside development businesses taught us what developers actually answer to — the end buyer, the product, and the design and staging decisions that determine whether a project succeeds in market.

Contractor-Side

Years on the builder's side of the contract taught us buildability, sequencing, procurement and how contractors actually think — knowledge you can't get from the client's chair alone.

One team. Every side of the table.

Our Approach

Practical leadership, not administration

We sit between traditional project management, development management and construction advisory — providing clients with practical leadership across the elements that actually determine project success.

01

Not Just Administration

We interrogate risk, programme, cost, procurement and delivery strategy — not just actions and minutes.

02

Full-Lifecycle Involvement

From early feasibility through to handover — one team, no gaps between disciplines or consultants.

03

Straight Answers

We give the advice the project needs, not the answer that's easiest to hear — then back our clients fully in whatever decision they make.

04

Problem Solvers

When a project hits a wall, we find the way through — lateral thinking and practical fixes drawn from having seen problems from every side.

05

Governance & Transparency

Disciplined reporting, clear decision trails and no surprises — the rigour public and private clients alike expect of the people managing their money.

Services

What we do

Practical support across the full project lifecycle — from early feasibility through to completion and handover.

Project Management

End-to-end client-side leadership across the full project lifecycle — feasibility, design, procurement, construction, completion and handover, and everything in between.

Funder / Financier's Representative

Independent project monitoring, drawdown reporting, risk reviews, programme updates and development oversight on behalf of lenders and capital partners.

Project Recovery & Risk Management

Practical intervention and delivery reset for distressed, delayed or underperforming projects — with an open builder's licence that allows us to step in directly if a build needs to change hands.

Superintendent Services & Handover

Contract administration, progress claims, notices, variations, EOTs, defects, commissioning and handover.

Not sure which of these you need? That's what the first conversation is for.

Different sectors. Same fundamentals.

Every one of these projects came down to the same disciplines: cost, programme, risk, procurement, quality and stakeholders. Those fundamentals don't change between a hospital, a tower or a training facility — which is why our experience transfers to whatever a client puts in front of us, and why clients across nine sectors have trusted our directors with their capital and their reputations.
