Renovation Project Management in London
Renovation Project Management & Delivery
A well-managed project makes a complex process easier.
A residential renovation involves far more than the work taking place on site. Contractors, suppliers, materials, furniture, joinery and countless individual decisions all need to come together at the right time.
Mont Interiors provides project management for high-end residential renovations across London, helping clients coordinate the process from the early stages through to final installation.
We bring together renovation, bespoke joinery, Italian furniture and interior specification under one roof, providing a more joined-up approach for clients who would rather not manage multiple companies themselves.
What project management means at Mont Interiors
Every project is different, but our role is always to bring structure and clarity to the process.
Depending on the scope of your renovation, we can coordinate contractors, suppliers, procurement, schedules, deliveries and installation, while keeping the wider project moving in the right direction.
For larger projects, this may form part of a complete turnkey service. For others, project management may focus on a specific stage of the renovation or interior delivery.
The level of involvement is shaped around the property, the scope of works and what the project requires.
Bringing the right people together
A successful renovation relies on good coordination between the people involved.
We work alongside contractors, architects, specialist suppliers and other professionals to help ensure that the different elements of the project are properly considered together.
This is particularly important where building works and interiors overlap.
A new kitchen affects electrical and plumbing requirements. Bespoke joinery needs to be measured and installed at the right stage. Furniture deliveries need to be coordinated with the programme. Materials and finishes need to be agreed before work progresses too far.
Managing these details early can make a significant difference later in the project.

Procurement and delivery
For many clients, procurement is one of the most time-consuming parts of a residential project.
Furniture, bespoke joinery, kitchens, materials and finishes can all have different lead times and delivery requirements.
Mont Interiors manages the specification and procurement of the elements we supply, coordinating orders, production and delivery as part of the wider project programme.
This is particularly valuable when Italian furniture, bespoke kitchens or made-to-measure joinery form part of a renovation.
Rather than treating these elements as an afterthought, they are considered as part of the overall delivery from the beginning.
A single point of coordination
Many homeowners are capable of managing a renovation themselves. The difficulty is often finding the time to do it properly.
A project can involve dozens of conversations, decisions and dependencies.
Our role is to help bring those conversations together.
Clients have a clear point of contact at Mont Interiors for the parts of the project we manage, while we coordinate with the relevant contractors and suppliers behind the scenes.
The aim is not to add another layer to the process, but to make the process easier to manage.
Project management as part of a complete service
Project management can be combined with other Mont Interiors services, including:
Interior Architecture
Bringing these services together allows us to consider the finished home as a whole rather than as a series of separate purchases and appointments.
Our approach
01 — Understand the project
We begin with the property, the scope of works and the practical requirements of the project.
02 — Establish the right structure
The project team, responsibilities and key stages are considered before the work progresses.
03 — Coordinate the details
We manage the project within our agreed scope, working alongside the relevant contractors and suppliers.
04 — Deliver the interior
As the project develops, we coordinate furniture, joinery, kitchens and other interior elements with the wider programme.
05 — Final installation
The final stages focus on bringing the individual elements together and ensuring the home is ready for completion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a renovation project manager do?
A renovation project manager helps coordinate the different people, suppliers and stages involved in delivering a residential project. Depending on the agreed scope, this may include contractor coordination, procurement, scheduling, deliveries, installation and progress updates.
Does Mont Interiors manage the entire renovation?
For complete projects, Mont Interiors can provide a coordinated service covering renovation, bespoke joinery, Italian furniture, kitchens and interior delivery. The exact scope is discussed and agreed at the beginning of the project.
Can you work with my architect or builder?
Yes. Mont Interiors can work alongside architects, builders and other specialists as part of the wider project team.
Can project management include furniture and interiors?
Yes. This is one of the advantages of working with Mont Interiors. Furniture, bespoke joinery, kitchens and other interior elements can be considered alongside the renovation rather than separately at the end of the project.
When should I appoint a project manager?
The earlier the project is properly structured, the easier it is to coordinate the different stages. We recommend speaking to us once you have a property and an outline of what you would like to achieve.
COORDINATION BEFORE STARTING
Initiating early communication is crucial. By collaborating closely with the design team, we can thoroughly examine the construction drawings, hold discussions on initial needs, and confirm the resolution of any planning conditions. Additionally, we provide guidance on potential party wall concerns and ensure the appointment of building control and a warranty provider. Our role extends to identifying and suggesting suitable subcontractors and specialists.

Drafting pre-construction service agreements
QUANTITY SURVEY
In our approach to quantity surveying, we implement a dual-phase estimation strategy. Initially, we generate a preliminary budget estimate to provide the client with a clear insight into the projected costs.
Following this, if the estimated figures align with the client's budgetary constraints, we proceed to collaborate closely with them to develop a comprehensive cost plan. This involves issuing JCT contracts accompanied by a detailed programme of works. Furthermore, we undertake routine valuations, meticulously document any alterations, and issue payment certificates as necessary.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE PLAN
At Mont Interiors, we are dedicated to managing the construction phase with efficiency, safety, and meticulous attention to detail. To achieve this, we implement the following strategies:
Conduct regular site visits, ideally at least once a week, to oversee progress and ensure adherence to standards. Facilitate frequent progress meetings with our valued clients, the design team, and contractors involved in the project.
-
Provide comprehensive documents and plans, including:
-
Construction Traffic Management Plans
-
Site Construction Management Plans
-
Flood Risk Assessments
-
Risk Assessments & Method Statements
-
-
These measures are essential in guaranteeing the successful and secure execution of the project.
