PROJECT MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
What does project management actually handle across a project’s life?
Project management runs across five phases — planning, legal, design, construction and completion — and Aamsko delivers all five as one continuous process, so the plan set at the outset is the same plan carried through to sign-off, not five disconnected efforts from five different parties.
PLANNING & STRATERGY
Scope & feasibility definition
Setting what the project must deliver and testing whether it’s achievable within budget and site constraints.
Procurement strategy
Choosing the delivery method that best fits the project’s risk profile and timeframe. Secuering building procducts with warranty.
Master programme & budget
Building the baseline programme and budget every later decision is measured against.
Consent pathway planning
Mapping resource and building consent requirements into the programme before design starts.
LEGAL & CONTRACTING
Contract selection & drafting
Choosing and drafting the right contract form for the delivery method and risk allocation.
Consultant & contractor engagement
Appointing architects, engineers and contractors under terms that protect the project.
Risk allocation & negotiation
Negotiating terms so risk sits with the party best placed to manage it, not by default.
Insurance & compliance checks
Confirming cover, licensing and regulatory compliance before any contract is signed.
DESIGN ALIGNMENT
Consultant coordination
Chairing design meetings and keeping architects, engineers and specialists on one programme.
Design review & value management
Testing design decisions against budget and buildability before they’re locked in.
Consent submission tracking
Managing resource and building consent lodgement and RFI responses against programme.
Cost plan reconciliation
Reconciling design development against the approved budget at every design milestone.
COMPLETION & PROTECTION
Practical completion inspection
Assessing the works against the contract before the project is handed over.
Defects list management
Capturing and chasing down defects before final payment is released.
Code Compliance Certificate coordination
Managing council sign-off documentation through to CCC issue.
Warranty & producer statement filing
Lodging warranties and producer statements that protect the building’s owner for years to come.

LEAKY BUILDING & LEAKY HOMES REMEDIATION
How does a project manager run a leaky building or leaky home remediation?
Leaky building and leaky home remediation — common in New Zealand properties built between 1990 and 2004 — is one of the hardest projects to manage, because scope and cost only firm up once cladding is stripped back and the true extent of damage is found. Aamsko project manages remediation end to end, holding programme, budget and contract together as one process, alongside our own building surveyors, quantity surveyors and construction lawyers.
Building Survey
Perform the building survey and document findings into a defined remediation scope.
Remediation design management
Coordinating cladding and detailing design so the fix addresses the actual failure, not just the symptom.
Consenting programme management
Sequencing building consent, and resource consent where needed, into the remediation programme.
Site Works
Direct trade and site logistics under our management. This model maximises cost protection and warranty.
Budget & programme control
Re-forecasting budget and programme as concealed damage is uncovered, without losing overall control.
CCC, owner sign-off & warranty
Managing council inspections and documentation through to a new Code Compliance Certificate.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT FAQ
Project management & leaky building coordination — answered
Direct answers to what Auckland owners, developers and builders ask us most about project management.
What does a project manager do on a building project in Auckland?
Coordinates planning, legal, design and construction into one accountable process, drawing directly on Aamsko’s own legal, cost and technical teams.
What happens in the planning and strategy phase?
Scope, feasibility, procurement strategy and the master programme are set, aligning budget and timeframe with what the site and consent pathway allow.
Why does project management include legal and contracting?
Contract terms decide who carries risk when things go wrong; getting them right early prevents most disputes before they happen.

Yes — survey, remediation design, consenting, procurement and construction monitoring managed as one programme, alongside our quantity surveyors and construction lawyers.
