Scribe CMS provides main contracting, construction management and specialist construction services across Manchester, the North of England and throughout the UK.
Whether you need a principal contractor, construction management support or specialist pre-construction and project services, we provide experienced senior-led support from early appraisal through to completion.
Our Contracting services cover main contracting, design and build, civil engineering and enabling works. We act as principal contractor, taking responsibility for site delivery, programme, supply chain, quality, safety and commercial control from pre-construction through to handover.
Main contracting is a core part of our business. We act as principal contractor across new-build and refurbishment projects, taking responsibility for coordinating and delivering the works for clients and projects that align with our experience and risk profile.
We take time to understand the project, scope, programme, procurement strategy and key risks before we commit. Once appointed, we provide clear responsibility and senior involvement throughout delivery.
Our contracting capability is supported by experience across residential, industrial, data-centre, commercial and city-centre developments, ranging from specialist works to major complex schemes.
We deliver civil engineering and enabling works as part of our Contracting services, including demolition, earthworks, drainage, infrastructure and site preparation.
Our experience includes complex industrial and logistics environments where works must be carefully coordinated around existing operations, access constraints and multiple stakeholders.
Our Management services provide senior-level construction oversight for clients seeking greater control, transparency and direct involvement in how their project is delivered.
We coordinate design, procurement, trade contractors, programme and site delivery on the client’s behalf, with clear visibility of cost, progress, risk and change throughout.
Construction management is a flexible procurement route that can enable earlier procurement, greater cost transparency and direct client involvement, particularly where design development and construction need to progress in parallel.
The client typically appoints the design team and trade contractors directly, while Scribe manages and coordinates the construction process, programme, logistics, interfaces and site delivery.
Where appropriate, we can agree fixed management and preliminaries costs, with clear mechanisms for instructed change and time-related adjustments.
This can provide a collaborative delivery route with clearer visibility of trade costs, programme and change.
Where a client needs senior oversight and coordination of their project without the full construction management structure, we provide project management services. We manage the programme, the stakeholders, the risks and the reporting, keeping your project on track from inception through to completion.
We provide contract administration services, acting as contract administrator or employer’s representative under JCT and NEC forms of contract. We manage valuations, variations, extensions of time and final accounts with independence and commercial rigour.
Our Solutions services provide specialist construction and development support from initial appraisal through to completion, handover and project recovery.
We draw on decades of senior experience to provide practical, commercially robust advice at any stage of a project.
