Independent advice by your side
Project ownerassistance
Guidance on technical, administrative and financial choices to secure your investment and make every decision easier.
Project owner assistance means defending your interests throughout the project: framing the need, making the budget reliable, choosing the right people, securing the contracts and helping you decide at the right time. YAMBE Architectes acts as this independent adviser for individuals, businesses and investors building in Cameroon.
The scope of a project owner assistance assignment
The assignment is flexible: it can cover the whole project or only the phases where you need an expert view.
- Help defining the brief and the overall budget
- Technical, regulatory and financial feasibility analysis
- Assistance in choosing the architect, the engineering firm and the contractors
- Review and negotiation of contracts and quotes
- Control of timelines, costs and quality during the works
- Assistance with handover inspections
Who is it for, and why?
A project owner does not always have the time or the expertise to settle, alone, technical and contractual decisions that commit them for years. Project owner assistance closes that gap: you remain the decision-maker, but you decide with full information, alongside someone who knows industry practice and has no stake in carrying out the works.
It is particularly valuable for a first construction project, a buy-to-let investment, or a site supervised from abroad.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between project owner assistance and project management?+
Project management designs and manages delivery. Project owner assistance advises and represents the client upstream and checks the project manager. The two assignments are complementary and can be carried out by separate teams.
Can we hire you for project owner assistance if another firm is drawing the plans?+
Yes. In this role, we can work alongside a third-party architect to secure your decisions, your contracts and the supervision of the works.
When should a project owner assistance assignment start?+
The earlier the better: as soon as the project and budget are being defined. But the assignment can also start mid-way, in particular to secure the construction phase.
