Commercial Management
End-to-end commercial oversight for luxury retail, hospitality and residential projects, protecting your position from appointment to final account.
Overview
Once a project is on site, value is won or lost in the commercial detail: how the contract is set up, how change is priced, how payments are certified and how the final account is agreed. Commercial management keeps all of that under control.
M+H provides independent commercial management on behalf of clients and developers. We put the right contract in place, manage variations and claims fairly and firmly, and keep cash flow and forecasts accurate so there is never a gap between what you expect to pay and what you do.
We work closely with design teams and contractors, because the best commercial outcomes come from clear communication and good relationships, not confrontation.
What's included
Selecting and setting up the right form of contract, then administering it properly throughout delivery.
Accurate, timely valuations and payment certificates that keep the project moving and your outlay under control.
Rigorous assessment of every change, priced and agreed before it becomes a cost you did not plan for.
Reliable cash flow forecasts and anticipated final cost reporting, so funding is never a surprise.
Identifying, quantifying and managing commercial risk early, with clear allowances and contingency control.
Fair, well-documented final accounts and a proactive approach that resolves issues before they escalate.
Sectors
Fit-out programmes and flagship projects where commercial discipline protects the brand as much as the budget.
Complex, phased hospitality works where change is constant and live operations must be protected.
Bespoke residential projects where clients need confidence that every variation is fair and justified.

Our directors lead every commission personally, from the first estimate to the final account, so you always deal with experienced people.
Our benchmarks, supply chain knowledge and expectations come from luxury retail, hospitality and residential work, not general construction.
