Client is a large construction company working on a mixed-use development project in an urban area.

They faced exorbitant traffic management costs and frequent delays imposed by a telecoms utility company.

• Initial traffic management cost estimate was £317,469.

• The utility company’s mismanagement of previous works led to multiple project delays.

• The client lacked the expertise to include proper contractual legal texts within their C4 to hold the utility company accountable.

The client engaged our Traffic Management Protection Service to manage and mitigate traffic management costs and delays.

Our team reviewed the initial traffic management plan and identified several areas for improvement.

• Negotiated with the utility company to ensure the traffic management plan met legal standards and project timelines.

• Included legal text in the contractual agreements to hold the utility company accountable for any delays and cost overruns.

• Ensured the diversionary works were exempt from Lane Rental charges.

• The overall C4 quotation which included traffic management costs were reduced to £114,703, achieving a savings of £202,766 (a 63% saving).

• The project was realigned to meet the clients project timeline, preventing any delays.

• Client was also able to reclaim £26,821 for delays caused by the utility company’s poor project management of the works

• Enhanced control over project timelines and costs.

• Increased focus on core construction activities, improving overall project efficiency.

• Reduced stress and improved morale among the client’s project management team.

"Engaging the Traffic Management Protection Service was a game-changer for us. We not only had our costs reduced but also ensured just as importantly that the project stayed on track. Their infrastructure expertise and proactive management were crucial to our success."

Jane Collins, Construction Director
