Project Management in Sydney
Project management is an owner-side building-consultancy service for class 1 and 10 projects: programme milestones, consultant chase and liaison with the designer and builder. It is not site supervision, and it is not available when Exclusive Certifiers is appointed principal certifier on the same job.
What this service covers
- Programme milestones tied to design, certification and construction stages
- Chase of consultant packages the project needs to progress
- Owner liaison with the designer and builder on programme items
- A written list of outstanding programme and liaison items
What this service is
Owners often need someone to keep the programme moving: when drawings and consultant reports are due, who still owes material, and how those hand-offs relate to certification and construction stages. This service covers that owner-side programme and liaison work under the practice’s building consultancy arm.
What this service is not
Project management here is not site supervision, builder management, design management or advocacy for a particular design outcome. The builder remains responsible for the site. Design and building contracts stay with the professionals you appoint for those roles.
How it differs from certification process coordination
Certification process coordination is a narrow administrative service: document sequence, lodgement order and inspection dates for the certificate the job needs. Project management is broader owner-side programme and consultant liaison. You can engage one or both, depending on what the job needs.
Independence and principal certifier appointment
NSW guidance is clear that a certifier is not a project manager. Exclusive Certifiers does not offer project management on the same job when it is appointed as principal certifier. If you need this practice as principal certifier, appoint a separate project manager, or engage only certification process coordination for administrative sequencing.
Whether any broader consultancy arrangement is appropriate for a given job is a professional and regulatory assessment. This page describes the published offer; it is not a substitute for that assessment. Material changes to this service require owner and qualified review before publication.

Questions about project management
How is this different from certification process coordination?
Coordination tracks certificate packs, lodgement order and inspection dates. Project management covers owner-side programme milestones and consultant liaison. They are separate offers.
Can Exclusive Certifiers be principal certifier and project manager on the same job?
No. Project management is not available when Exclusive Certifiers is appointed principal certifier on that job. Keep those roles with separate appointments.
Does project management include site supervision?
No. The builder remains responsible for the site. This service does not supervise construction work or run the builder’s programme on site.
