PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Our Project Management Services are available from Project inception to post completion. As a boutique and specialised company, we pride ourselves on being flexible and agile therefore we can tailor a solution to project the services that you require. We can be far more competitive, providing tailored services compared with many of our competitors to the benefit of our clients. Most importantly the project management team will provide the individual hands-on care plus our complete attention to ensure the project runs smoothly.

​

Perhaps you have an inhouse project team, but this project is larger or more complex therefore you wish to supplement you team with a focused skillset; maybe you have never carried out a building or refurbishment project before and have no one in the organisation with experience of this; we can provide the guidance and leadership required to give you confidence to progress. Despite projects following a similar process, every project is different, and every client has different needs, at Hive Consultive we understand this and want to work with you to achieve the best outcomes for your organisation.

​
