Our role

Currie & Brown is appointed to provide project management services on a wide range of programmed projects. To do this we provide project managers based in the Planning and Capital Projects Department of Bethlem Royal Hospital.

Our involvement is instrumental in enabling the timely delivery of projects over all sites. Our services enable the client to undertake their primary duties while we take over the specific project management role. We are also helping to identify new options for project delivery that the client had not previously considered. Being co-located on the client’s premises, our staff are able to act as an in-house team and are fully integrated with ongoing operations.

Our project managers are required to consult fully with the wider steering groups allocated to each particular project to ensure the incorporation of all necessary fire safety, compliance, infection control and back-log maintenance issues.

The trust also uses the knowledge and experience of our in-house managers in the development of new standardised documents and processes for optimum project delivery under the NEC form of contract used by the trust.
