Behind the Build – your Project Manager, with you every step of the way

With Outside Interests, building your perfect conservatory, orangery, or new set of bi-fold doors doesn’t mean simply handing it over to a tradesperson. From the moment you say yes to a design, your dedicated project manager takes charge, overseeing every detail from the initial survey through to aftercare.

From order to hand-over

As Project Manager Jack Lerwill explains: “Once a customer’s order is confirmed with our sales team, project management begins. From that point, it’s our job see the whole process through to completion.

“We make contact with the customer to arrange a meeting with them at their convenience to conduct a detailed site survey where measurements are taken, positioning is confirmed and access is assessed. We then check with the customer that it’s all as agreed and as they’re expecting, then double check the measurements, where the building will sit and the finer details about anything that might affect the build.”

“The project manager is responsible for the schedule of works, when the work’s going to take place, planning the relevant trades needed and making sure the build is fitted and installed correctly before handing over the keys to the customer. Our project management team works closely together on all projects so there is always continuity during the process and if one of us is away the customer has someone to speak to.”

More than a co-ordinator

“As project managers, we aren’t simply checking boxes. We’re constantly liaising with tradespeople, builders and manufacturers, as well as always making ourselves available to homeowners. We’re not just project co-ordinators, we’re our client’s point of contact throughout. That means we pop in regularly to check on progress and speak with our customers about any changes. That reassuring presence makes a difference.”

Aftercare is built in

Once the build is complete, our relationship with customers doesn’t end there. Each client receives a care pack with products to maintain their installation, along with a 5-year guarantee, and we’re always at the end of the phone if there’s any problem. Customers can just call us and we’ll visit the site, see what the issue is and get it resolved quickly.

Final thoughts

Having a dedicated project manager means there’s always someone who knows the details, understands the timeline and genuinely cares about the outcome. It’s yet another way that Outside Interests takes the stress out of your project. Contact us today to discuss your project. Contact us today to discuss your project.
