Written by a practitioner,
not a theorist.

Most fit-out PMs file their programme after contract award and manage the project from memory. When things go wrong, there is nothing to go back to - no baseline, no logic, no evidence. This guide changes that. Written from 20 years of live site experience across Cat B offices, government buildings, listed structures, and occupied environments.

The practical guide to commercial protection on UK fit-out and refurbishment projects. Most site PMs know they submit payment applications. Fewer can explain how the JCT payment mechanism actually works - and that gap costs money. Written from the Main Contractor PM's perspective, based on twelve years of managing commercial fit-out under JCT Design and Build contracts.

Written for the site manager who can see the next level and is prepared to do what it takes to reach it. Not a theoretical manual - every chapter comes from real experience on real sites across 20 years in UK construction. This guide shows you how to structure what you already have, close the gaps you are missing, and prove you are ready before you ask for the role.
