Tender support
Your tender is due in two weeks.
Your team is already full.
I prepare tender documents for fit-out contractors - programmes, logistics plans and tender submission documents - working remotely from the tender information, with no site attendance and no management or supervision of the works. Remote, no site attendance, and you deal with me directly, no juniors.
Send me the tender pack and your return dateAlready have a tender programme? Send it for an independent review before it goes in.
Tender support
The estimator is pricing. The PM is on site. The tender programme, the logistics plan and the submission documents still have to be written. That is the gap I fill.
What you get
- A tender programme, on your own template
- A programme methodology for your bid document
- Logistics plans, as drawings and methodology
- Technical queries related to the programme and logistics
- A short executive summary insert for your submission
- One consolidated revision round
How it works
Send me the tender pack and your return date. I confirm the scope and a fixed fee in writing before any work starts. Each tender is priced on its own scope.
The documents are drafts for your review: you decide what goes into your submission.
Send me the tender pack and your return dateTender support: priced per tender. Fixed fee, plus any VAT, confirmed in writing before any work starts.
Independent advice. From someone who has done it.
Programme drifting. Tender does not stack up. Job late and nobody can say exactly why. Your PMs writing documents instead of running the job. Evidence pack bouncing back from the portal. Any of those, and you can have an independent senior PM read on it this week.
§01
Programme and Risk Advisory
Independent assessment of programme health, risk exposure, and delivery strategy. Useful at any stage - particularly pre-construction or when a programme is under pressure. You get a frank read from someone who has managed these risks directly, not a consultant who learned them from a textbook.
§02
Embedded Senior PM
Embedded senior delivery support for complex programmes where you need experienced resource without the overheads of a permanent hire. Available on a project basis, structured around your specific programme milestones.
§03
Programme Recovery
When a programme has slipped and you need someone who has recovered complex sites before. Diagnosis first - then a recovery plan built on what is actually achievable, not what the client wants to hear.
§04
Candidate & Hire Technical Assessment
An independent technical review of a shortlisted senior PM or planner candidate before you commit to hiring them. A structured conversation or CV and portfolio review, followed by a written assessment of technical fit.
I also build the FitOut Insider platform. I will tell you if I think it is not the right tool for you.

Full day (8 hours): £600

Monthly Senior PM Advisory
£2,250/month
20 hours included per month
A short scoping call before beginning monthly advisory. We discuss fit, scope, and expectations.
Monthly advisory includes ongoing programme review, weekly check-ins, risk monitoring, and direct access throughout your programme: priority response within one working day, reserved capacity, and no per-session admin. Designed for live fit-out and commercial programmes running over multiple months. The weekly check-in is 45 minutes and counts against the 20 hours.
Further time at £140 per hour, or day rate for blocks of a day or more.
Book this call first. The retainer begins once we have agreed scope.
Book scoping call →Prices exclude VAT. Where VAT applies to your engagement, it is shown on the quote and on the invoice. For most business clients outside Poland no VAT is added by us, because the client accounts for it under the reverse charge.

Process
How advisory sessions work.
§01
Book a call
Select the session that fits your situation and book directly. No gatekeeping, no introductory form to fill in first.
§02
Come prepared
Bring the context. A programme under pressure, a tender you want reviewed, a decision you need a frank read on. The more specific you are, the more useful the session.
§03
Direct access throughout
You work with me directly. No account managers. No handoffs. The person who answers the call is the person who ran a fit-out inside The Shard and a nineteen-floor refurbishment at Lunar House, Croydon.
§04
Continuity and cover
On retainer engagements I work as your only point of contact. For periods of holiday or unavailability I will give you four weeks' notice and coordinate cover with you directly. For one-off advisory, there is no continuity risk - the engagement is delivered as agreed.
