The Brief & Challenge
On tendered commercial work, project managers need drainage and in-ground packages delivered with zero surprises. The risk is familiar: a competitive price that later turns into cost blowouts, resourcing gaps, and programme pressure. The desired future state is straightforward—clear scope, reliable crews, and leadership that stays engaged from award through delivery. Grant needed confidence that what was promised at tender would be delivered on site, with a professional approach that reduced friction and kept the job moving.
What we did
We delivered in-ground drainage and mechanical pipework through a tendered engagement, backing a competitive price with visible leadership and committed site delivery.
- Engaged early through the tender process, building confidence through honest, practical conversations.
- Priced competitively while protecting commercial integrity to avoid later “surprises”.
- Maintained director-to-supervisor involvement to keep decisions fast and aligned.
- Shared relevant project examples to guide decisions and reduce uncertainty.
- Resourced the work to meet delivery expectations and protect programme certainty.
- Managed site delivery professionally to keep the overall process positive and well-run.
"Cost blowouts and resourcing are always concerns in this industry, but Tuffnell delivered exactly what was promised." — Grant Molloy, Project Manager, Naylor Love
