Every Service Your Project Needs. Under One Roof.
From the first pro forma to final handover, Nami Project Management provides the full spectrum of construction and development consulting — so your project is protected at every stage.
What We Offer
-
Accurate cost intelligence that protects your budget from inception to completion.
Budget overruns don't happen at the end of a project — they're baked in at the beginning, when estimates are optimistic and contingencies are thin. Our quantity surveying services give you cost certainty at every gateway, built on current Melbourne market rates and real project data.
From early-stage concept estimates through to detailed elemental cost plans and tender analysis, our cost advice is precise, transparent, and aligned to your project's commercial objectives.
What's included: Concept & schematic estimates · Elemental cost plans · Trade & head contractor tender analysis · Procurement strategy · Cost reporting & forecasting · Variation assessment -
Rigorous contract oversight so you're never caught out — commercially or legally.
A poorly administered contract is an open invitation for cost blowouts, programme delays, and disputes. We provide experienced contract administration that keeps contractors accountable, progress claims scrutinised, and your contractual position protected at every point in the project.
With backgrounds in both client-side and delivery-side roles, we know exactly how to manage a contract from both perspectives — and how to identify when a contractor is testing the boundaries.
What's included: Progress claim assessment & certification · Variation management · EOT assessment · Site instruction management · Defects identification & rectification · Final account settlement -
End-to-end project leadership so you can focus on your business, not your building.
Effective project management isn't just about tracking a Gantt chart. It's about anticipating problems before they materialise, aligning consultants, contractors and stakeholders, and making the right call under pressure.
Our project management service provides experienced, hands-on leadership from project inception through to practical completion and handover. We represent your interests entirely — acting as your eyes, ears, and voice on every project matter.
What's included: Project brief & scope development · Consultant team coordination · Programme development & monitoring · Risk management · Stakeholder reporting · Procurement & tender management · Practical completion & handover -
Strategic development leadership that maximises return on your investment.
Development management sits at the intersection of strategy and delivery. It's about ensuring that the commercial intent of your development is never lost as the project moves from concept through to construction — and that every decision made along the way is optimised for your return.
We act as your development manager, overseeing the entire project ecosystem: feasibility, planning, design, procurement, delivery, and sales or leasing coordination. We keep the big picture in focus while managing the detail that determines success or failure.
What's included: Development strategy & feasibility · Consultant & builder procurement · Planning & approval coordination · Design management · Budget & programme governance · Sales/leasing interface · End-to-end owner's representative services -
Cutting through the approvals process so your project isn't stalled before it starts.
Planning approvals and building permits are among the most common causes of project delay in Victoria. Navigating council requirements, overlays, permit conditions, and building regulations demands experience, preparation, and the right relationships.
We manage your town planning and building surveying consultants on your behalf, ensuring applications are well-prepared, responses are timely, and permit conditions don't create downstream construction problems. We coordinate closely with your design team to anticipate approvals issues before they become costly surprises.
What's included: Town planner engagement & management · Planning permit application oversight · Referral authority management · Building permit coordination · RFI management · Permit condition review & compliance -
Delivering commercial and retail fitouts on time, on budget, and built to last.
Whether you're fitting out a new commercial tenancy, refurbishing an existing space, or managing a multi-site rollout, we provide the cost, contract, and project management expertise to get it done without the typical headaches.
We understand that for small businesses and tenants, a fitout represents a significant capital outlay, and disruption to trading is real money. Our focus is on minimising that disruption while ensuring your fitout is delivered to specification, within budget, and on programme.
What's included: Fitout cost planning & tendering · Builder selection & procurement · Contract administration · Programme management · Defects management · Landlord coordination
Who We Work With
We partner with Builders, Developers, Designers & Business Owners who need more than a single-discipline consultant. Whatever stage your project is at — and whatever role you need us to fill — we have the expertise to deliver.
🏗️ Commercial & Residential Builders
Builders often need an experienced, independent set of eyes — whether that's for tender pricing support, contract administration on projects where a conflict of interest exists, or specialist QS advice on a complex scope.
We bring deep delivery-side experience to every engagement. We understand construction programmes, subcontractor dynamics, and the commercial pressures that shape how projects are built. That means our advice is grounded in how construction actually works — not just what the contract says. We can also assist builder clients with independent cost verification and review of subcontractor claims.

🏙️ Commercial & Residential Developers
Development is a high-stakes game where margins are made or lost in the early decisions. Engaging the wrong consultants, underestimating costs, or losing time in the approvals process can turn a profitable project into a loss before a sod is turned.
We provide developers with end-to-end oversight — from initial feasibility and cost modelling through to development management, procurement, and delivery. Because we handle every discipline in-house, your budget intelligence is consistent across the entire project life cycle, not fragmented across five different consultants with five different agendas.

🏢 Small Businesses - Fitout and Refurbs
For a small business, a fitout or refurbishment is one of the largest capital commitments you'll make. Yet most business owners go into the process without any independent cost or contract advice — and end up paying more than they should, on a programme that keeps shifting.
We act as your expert on the ground, managing your builder, scrutinising every progress claim and variation, and ensuring you keep to programme — so you're not paying for delays you didn't cause or variations you didn't approve. Our involvement typically saves clients multiples of our fee in avoided overcharges and programme extensions.

📐 Architects & Designers
Great design doesn't deliver itself. Architects and interior designers frequently need a trusted project management and cost planning partner who can take a design intent and translate it into a structured, buildable, and budget-certain project brief.
We work alongside design teams as a seamless extension — providing QS cost checks at design milestones, managing the tender process, and administering the construction contract through to handover. We keep the project commercially grounded without compromising design integrity, and we speak the language of both the design team and the building contractor. Your clients get a better outcome, and your design gets built the way it was meant to be.

📈 Property Investors
Property investment decisions live and die by the accuracy of your upfront numbers. Whether you're evaluating a site acquisition, planning a value-add refurbishment, or commissioning a new development, the quality of your cost and feasibility advice determines the quality of your return.
We provide property investors with the independent, commercially focused advice they need to make confident decisions — without the bias of a consultant who's also trying to sell you something. We assess project costs with QS rigour, model your development returns, and — if you proceed — manage your project to ensure those returns are protected through delivery.

🔑 Commercial Tenants Negotiating Fitout
Negotiating a commercial lease with a meaningful fitout contribution is a construction exercise as much as a legal one. Most tenants rely solely on their solicitor — without any independent advice on whether the landlord's cost estimates are reasonable, or whether the proposed fitout contribution actually covers what's needed.
We provide tenants with independent cost assessments and fitout scoping so you enter lease negotiations armed with real numbers. We can also manage your fitout delivery end-to-end once the lease is signed — ensuring the landlord's contribution is maximised and your build is delivered on budget and on time, with minimal disruption to your business.
