FAQs

A bespoke project management service sounds expensive. How much will Ascent cost?

We calculate the costs for Ascent based on the roles you need to fill with our pricing based on our whole input on the project, not an hourly or daily rate. If we are providing you with a cost engineer, planner, project manager or commercial manager, those roles will all be accounted for in your proposal. We fix your price even though the number of hours each week may change flexibly based on what meetings you need us in, and which people are working with you. As an example, one recent six-month project was priced at £XXX per month.

Our industry is very specialist. What sectors or types of projects does Coron work with?

We are experienced in all types of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) projects. Across the team, we’ve worked in marine and defence, renewable energy, oil and gas, water and utilities, facilities management, manufacturing, structural and mechanical engineering. More importantly, our Ascent Momentum Wheel is a process which can be applied in any industry to bring power and pace into your project, while we also put in the infrastructure your organisation needs for future projects.

Most of our issues occur on site. Where is Coron based and will you visit the site?

We are based near Swansea, and work with clients based in Wales and all over the UK. We can visit sites occasionally to meet your project stakeholders and technical delivery teams. However, once the relationships are established, we can work effectively remotely using MS Teams or any other collaboration tools you use on the project.

Hiring an external project manager feels like a risk. How will Coron handle and mitigate our project management risks and issues?

We focus our efforts on building great communication and integrating quickly within the team, to plug the resource gaps in your project management office. Our knowledge of technical delivery and commercial management enables us to liaise with all your stakeholders. We work proactively to understand all the roles and commercial terms, to foresee and manage risks as well as identify opportunities for reducing costs or increasing the project value.
