SERVICE

01

Index Group's project management involves comprehensive planning, coordination, and management of the entire project, from conceptualization, planning, and feasibility studies, to order placement, cost, construction site management, and maintenance and operation of the facility after completion, in the three fields of construction, social infrastructure, and facility management, without conflicts of interest. By committing to each project in this manner, we are able to meet the client's budget, construction schedule, and quality requirements, integrate management and construction strategies, and lead the client's business to success.

For example, in recent years, in addition to the increasing complexity of social issues and demands, transparency and accountability for cost, construction schedule, and quality are strongly demanded in construction projects. Under these circumstances, there is an increasing demand for parties that provide project management services from a completely independent standpoint from design firms, construction companies, and manufacturers.

As an independent construction project management company, we provide consistent services throughout the entire project process, regardless of the purpose or size of the facility. We always place the highest priority on the client's interests and success of the project, promoting the project as the client's agent with our advanced technical capabilities and neutral position.

Support for business plan formulation

At the conception and planning stage of a construction project, we propose business plans and project promotion strategies to maximize the profits. First, we clarify the issues, achieve a common understanding of the project goals and direction, and design the best methods and processes to solve the unique issues.

In formulating the business plan, we conduct a feasibility study to evaluate the business potential and determine whether the project is feasible and optimal, by examining the appropriateness and profitability of the planned project from various angles.

With the aim of forming a project team to realize the business plan, we build an optimal project structure in collaboration with partners who have expertise not only in the construction field but also in other fields such as IoT, finance, accounting, and legal affairs.

03

Programming optimization

No matter how much cost reduction is attempted at the ordering stage of new or renovation work, if the original requirements are not properly set, additional work will be required, and the cost performance won’t improve. Therefore, our consulting team participates from the planning stage and works with the client to determine the requirements for the facility. Schedule, cost, facility scale, design specifications, construction quality, appearance, etc. are thoroughly discussed and reviewed. From a management perspective, we clarify the results and targets required for the project to be successful and optimize the programming.

04

Planning of optimal ordering strategy

In recent years, bidding and contracting methods for construction projects have become more and more diverse, and it is important to adopt the methods that best suit the objectives and conditions of each project.

Currently, the most common method of procuring construction is to separate the design and construction companies, but this is not the only way. For all types of facilities, including public facilities, educational facilities, and medical facilities, Index Group has adopted a variety of procuring methods, including the design-build method and the CM method (*at-risk type and pure type), without being bound by conventional methods.

Under the client's initiative, our consulting team supports the strategic planning and selection of contractors that maximize results at a reasonable cost. Considering the objectives of the project and the structure of the client, we propose an optimal procuring method that maximizes the capabilities of the design and construction companies.

*The "at-risk" type is a method of ordering construction managers to provide not only construction management (CM) services but also construction contracting. Normally, the actual cost production method is used with explicitly stated subcontractors. The pure type, on the other hand, is a method in which the construction manager acts as the client's agent and develops CM work only.

05

Support for consensus building in projects

Our consulting team's technical capabilities and extensive know-how will ensure that the various issues (technical, legal, neighborhood, etc.) that arise during a project are resolved. Even if a deadlock occurs, we will propose the best solution based on original thinking while keeping the project goal in mind.

There is more than one way to solve a problem. In addition, there are many cases where the best solution is not always feasible, and a solution that is good for one party may be detrimental to another. Consensus building among stakeholders is essential to the realization and success of a project. In such situations, Index Group professionals take responsibility for leading the project as a whole, building consensus among all parties involved.
