Expertise & Delivery
The project was delivered through a coordinated programme of investigation, design, procurement and construction, with Doran Consulting establishing the critical path and milestones and managing the cost plan, value engineering, risk and design coordination. The team directed environmental assessment, site investigation and topographical surveys, secured planning and approvals and developed the earthworks, drainage, technical specifications, lighting, fencing, scoreboards and pitch furniture. Procurement and contractor selection were managed using MEAT criteria. During RIBA Stage 5, Doran Consulting administered the works, monitored programme and quality, coordinated site supervision and managed handover, final account and the defects period.
