Our Services
Otherwise known as project establishment, this is typically where our journey together begins. We are big on not wasting any previous investment in consultant reports or designs. Using this information or starting from scratch, we will establish and identify any preliminary upfront risks alongside best next steps.
During this stage we will also begin investigating the planning constraints to understand the statutory approval framework for the project. Construction Assignments recognises the importance of setting up the project for success in this phase.
We understand commercial viability is the key to unlocking project progression. We provide the supporting knowledge that you need to bolster your feasibility and business case.
During this stage we will provide construction budget summaries, forecast your project cost risk, and scrutinise design efficiencies for optimum land use and return. Construction Assignments understands that a project, first and foremost, needs to stack-up.
We are big on not wasting any previous investment in consultant reports or designs. Whether we’re using this information or starting from scratch we will workshop with you to establish your goals and outcomes.
We hand-pick your consultant team on a cost, quality, time metric. Whether its technical knowledge required, a tight programme to overcome, or budget considerations, we will tender each discipline to an appropriate cross section of consultants. Construction Assignments navigates this phase with enthusiasm and thoughtfully curates project teams to deliver the project brief.
For over 20 years we’ve successfully delivered projects across Australia. We have the experience to identify the right questions to ask, and we understand the critical risks to highlight and overcome.
Construction Assignments know how to provide effective risk management that responds to emergent challenges in a collaborative and consultative manner. Problem solving, and innovative thinking, is encouraged for mutual benefit of the client, builder, and project stakeholders.
We understand every development is unique and every developer brings with them their own lived experiences, expertise, and perspective. Once the parameters of the project have been established, we offer a broad range of project delivery experience across multiple property sectors. Our particular expertise in hotels and co-living is extensive, and complimented by our wider experience in live environments, schools, health & leisure, food & beverage, boarding houses, and high-end private residences.
From building a programme, to recommending a selection process for your principal contractor, to advising on legal counsel and forms of contract, Construction Assignments’ depth of knowledge enables us to customise, and lead, projects with confidence.
We understand accurate market positioning is key to unlocking feasibility and commercial viability. From hotels to co-living, we understand that cost per room, effective use of GFA, and maximum yield return, matter.
We will investigate the applicable planning constraints to understand the statutory approval framework for your project. We ask the hard questions, and develop robust, cost effective, and design efficient solutions to maximise your asset. Construction Assignments recognises the importance of setting up the project for success.
Our bread and butter is conscientious project cost planning. We tender each discipline to an appropriate cross section of consultants and provide budget summary reporting to inform you, and your stakeholders. We hand-pick your consultant team on a cost, quality, time metric to ensure you have the right team fit for your specific project.
For over 20 years we’ve successfully delivered projects across Australia because we have the experience to identify the right questions to ask and understand the critical risks to highlight and overcome on any project. Whether it’s a private investment, co-investment, or institutionally funded investment, we understand that cost planning matters.
Whether we’re engaged at concept stage or stepping into a project with existing reports and designs already in place, our first task is due diligence: understanding exactly where the project stands and where the risk sits.
This is often where we find the gap: drawings and inclusions that haven’t been scrutinised for cost, design efficiencies left on the table, or a documentation set and project team whose qualifications warrant closer review. We investigate the applicable planning constraints to understand the statutory approval framework, and we ask the hard questions early, because a robust, cost effective, and design efficient outcome depends on getting the fundamentals right from the outset. Construction Assignments recognises that setting a project up for success starts with knowing exactly what you’re working with.
We often meet projects at the point where the numbers simply don’t stack up — cost per room, GFA efficiency, or yield return falling short of what’s needed to unlock progression, whether the funding is private, co-investment, or institutionally backed.
This is where our track record counts. We have significant experience reviewing drawings and inclusions to find where construction cost can be reduced, without compromising the design intent. Construction Assignments understand that a project, first and foremost, needs to stack up.
We provide strategic guidance and specialist project management expertise from small refurbishments through to new build construction. Whether you are developing one site or a portfolio of locations, we have the experience to lead your master plan through to construction.
Commencing in 2021, Construction Assignments worked closely with the Owner Stakeholder for Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) Schools to develop brand design guidelines for their portfolio of school refurbishments across NSW and SA. These guidelines continue to be rolled out to this day, in both live-environment upgrades, and new build sites.
We have also rolled out portfolios of co-living accommodation and luxury hotels. Construction Assignments deliver projects with attention to detail, passion, and deep care for the process and outcome.
Projects rarely proceed exactly to plan, and how variations are managed can materially affect both budget and program outcomes. We provide robust change management processes, assessing the cost, time, and risk implications of proposed changes before they’re actioned, so decisions are made with full visibility of the consequences.
Construction Assignments works closely with clients and consultant teams to keep change transparent and accountable, ensuring stakeholders understand the reasoning behind every variation and that budgets remain protected throughout delivery.
Selecting the right procurement pathway is critical to project success. We assess your project’s scope, risk profile, and programme requirements to recommend the most appropriate approach, whether that’s ECI, Early Contractor Involvement, Design and Construct, or a traditional tender process.
Construction Assignments brings decades of experience navigating procurement pathways across a range of sectors, ensuring you enter the market with a well-considered strategy that protects your commercial position and sets construction delivery up for success.
Once the parameters of the project have been established, we progress the development through required approvals focusing on mitigating risk through scope, budget and program.
In this phase we hand-pick your consultant team to design your project to the brief as well as to navigate and obtain the required development approvals.
Navigating the statutory approval framework can be one of the most time critical elements of any project. We work with your planning and design consultants to identify the right approval pathway, manage submissions, and respond to authority requests promptly and thoroughly.
Construction Assignments’ experience across a broad range of property sectors means we understand the nuances of different approval authorities, helping to minimise delays and keep your project on program.
Our contribution to project delivery teams is significant. Our extensive experience with design, construction, and refurbishment enables us to be highly prescriptive when it comes to technical specifications and scope.

Construction Assignments has the experience to identify the right questions to ask on any project. Across both large and small builds our success is based on the strength of our long-term industry relationships, experience, partnership approach, and people. We care.

Whether it’s an ECI, Early Services, or traditional Tender, we document well-crafted submissions to address our client’s needs and targets.
We regularly review design, specifications, and scope to identify opportunities to enhance value. This includes benchmarking cost against comparable projects and challenging assumptions where appropriate, all without compromising the project’s design intent or quality outcomes.
Construction Assignments approaches value management as a collaborative process, working with your design and consultant team to find efficiencies that genuinely benefit the project, rather than simply cutting cost. Where required, we lead Value Engineering workshops, bringing your consultant team together to interrogate the design against budget and program targets and agree a way forward on any value opportunities identified.
