Cost Management is another one of our core services. Our independence from the rest of the supply chain means we provide impartial advice, delivering the right solutions to protect our clients’ interests and maximize on their investments.
Over many years and across almost all sectors of the built environment we act as consultants in a range of roles to predict and manage construction costs, from initial feasibility to final account. We develop an in-depth understanding of our client's goals and become their champion in project delivery, empowering their decisions with our depth of knowledge.

Strategic Advisory Services
An entrepreneurial approach, a spirit of adventure, a track record of delivery and a relentless pursuit of a better way. At O1A we take a different approach to strategic advisory; we think bigger than the build.
Shaping cities and helping our clients build sustainable communities across the globe is in our DNA. From socio-economic assessment, place-making, stakeholder integration and strategic planning, to procurement, risk management, community engagement and assurance, our advice looks beyond the build.
With a track record of delivering complex capital investment schemes – from portfolios to programmes to projects – we advise our clients from the earliest stage, providing insight, identifying risks and opportunities, and helping to overcome the biggest programme challenges.
We look closely at the needs of places and communities and draw on the expertise of the exceptional people in our development, construction, consultancy and facilities management teams to develop bespoke solutions for our clients.
Furthermore, we tailor our approach to provide value for money, offering discrete services as well as fully integrated solutions, depending on the needs of a place and its people.
Our breadth of experience and full lifecycle delivery capability is at the heart of our business. Whether you are putting together the business case, wanting to know how to create a lasting legacy, upgrading existing real estate or preparing to deliver a major new programme, we have the people who can help.
Contract Administration
As Contract Administrators we are appointed to administer the terms of the building contract between clients and their contractors.
Our experts monitor and act to ensure compliance with the contractual obligations between both parties. Our experienced Contract Administrators establish excellent relationships with all parties to help avoid and resolve disputes and issues encountered in a manner that is fair and balanced to clients and contractors.
Our service includes:
-
Establishing and implementing contract terms.
-
Ensuring all parties are familiar with their obligations and remain compliant at all times.
-
Ensuring information is communicated in a timely manner to ensure the smooth progression of the contract.
-
Proactively identifying and resolving problems between parties.
BIM (Building Information Modelling)
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a system to create one shared digital representation of the physical and functional aspects of a building which is then used by the whole project team.
BIM can add real value for clients in both the public and private sectors because it can save cost and time, allow more accurate estimation and help to avoid errors and alterations later on.
At O1A we are focused on making sure the adoption of BIM delivers value for clients. For publicly funded projects this means making sure teams are ready to make use of BIM and that clients can use the data to best effect. For commercial clients, this means looking at the benefits flowing directly from the use of BIM and seeing that these accrue to our clients.
BIM offers benefits to clients through:
-
Clarity of information – implying a reduction in risk.
-
More efficient working by designers, surveyors and contractors through shared use of the same information models.
-
Early trapping of design errors.
-
Reduction in unnecessary waste.
-
Ability to provide more comprehensive and useful as-built information.
Construction Management
Construction Management provides a very successful alternative to traditional methods of procuring construction works. It facilitates a professional and non-adversarial method for construction delivery, including the management of design, procurement and on-site construction to achieve the client and building designer’s vision for the project without using a main or management contractor.
This route provides clients and project teams with the ability to actively manage cost and risk, to suit their specific requirements and to respond to the varying demands of the project throughout its duration. This alternative approach has been adopted very successfully by clients across multiple sectors from historic restorations to private residences, manufacturing and pharmaceutical facilities and commercial office fit outs.
Our services include:
-
Management of the full construction process including package procurement, coordination and supervision of on-site works.
-
Programming and planning of construction works together with buildability and logistics reviews and studies.
-
Proactive management of project scopes, programme and budget to mitigate change.
-
Full duties of the Principal Contractor.
-
Coordination of professional and trade contractor design teams and process.
-
Contract administration throughout the life cycle of the project.
Architectural Design and Master Planning Services
We are experts at managing and delivering design - drawing on the knowledge from a wide range of disciplines to tailor a project specifically to our client’s needs.
Every building project is dependent on a successful design process. It dictates the nature and complexity of the build, defining the resources needed, the time taken and the overall outcome. Our clients look to us to come up with better solutions, innovations and ideas to create a framework that always adds value and delivers results.
We have the in-house ability in place to offer a complete integrated design service for our clients. Our teams are made up of experienced project managers, architects, structural and building services engineers, landscape and interior designers, master planners and urban regeneration specialists, working in close collaboration with our other construction services.
We have a deep understanding of the full project lifecycle across education, public and private estates, residential, commercial office and urban regeneration sectors. Our portfolio ranges from small scale extensions and refurbishments to large scale programmes valued at $500m.
These are areas we can draw on when helping to plan and design a particular project. We approach multidisciplinary design by encompassing the consultancy services required to deliver a building, through a single integrated team.
We are completely transparent about the processes we devise, to explain our thoughts and reassure our clients.

Sustainability
At O1A we approach our work to not only limit impact on the external environments but also by providing places that are inspiring and healthy for those within them. We look to provide a better future environment for all and also an immediate positive environment in the places our clients live, work and play.
We are thought and action leaders in the industry, working with global and national green building councils (O1A’s) and organisations on
next-generation sustainability issues and frameworks. We have also helped to deliver world-class sustainability projects, to more comprehensive “net-zero” developments.
Some of our projects incorporate innovative technologies that are practical and reliable alternatives to current practice. Others require no new technology at all, but spring from an imaginative response to specific requirements – looking beyond the problem to provide solutions that are inclusive, economical, and environmentally sound. In each case we work with our clients to find appropriate, challenging and encompassing sustainability strategies for the project at hand, using costs and environmental effectiveness as our guide, and performance as our mandate.
Meeting sustainability goals requires a rigorous, thorough approach and one that is bespoke to the challenges presented by our clients.
Our sustainability service includes:
-
Assisting decision-making by outlining whole life and operational costs.
-
Aligning sustainable design criteria with budget and cost objectives of the design brief.
-
Costing sustainable design, maintenance and long-term operation.
-
Providing on-going reviews of sustainability capabilities, costs and performance.
-
Identifying sustainable products and suppliers.
-
Supervising construction site activities, waste management strategies and regulatory compliance.
At O1A DPMS, architects, designers, engineers, and planners join forces with a common purpose. Together, we shape a future filled with boundless possibilities, crafting spaces that go beyond construction — infused with creativity, innovation, and a shared vision for progress.
