Overview
What project and construction management covers
Much of the risk on a project sits in the gaps between designers, contractors and suppliers. As the local contracting party, StellarCosmic closes those gaps. We are your single point of accountability for programme, cost, quality and safety.
Our design, engineering and project management partner brings systems used on large public, healthcare and education projects. We apply them on Kenyan sites, using Kenyan labour, subcontractors and materials wherever possible, with skills transfer built in.

Supervise and control
We supervise the works, run QA/QC and HSE checks, and report progress, cost and risk at agreed intervals.
Test and commission
Materials, structures and building systems are tested and commissioned against the specification.
Hand over and close out
We hand over as-built records, manuals and test results, then close out the contract account.

FAQ
Questions clients ask
Do you work under FIDIC contracts?
Yes. Contract administration to FIDIC standards is part of our project management service. If your project uses another form of contract, tell us at enquiry stage and we will explain how we would administer it.
How will we know how the project is going?
We agree a reporting format and frequency with you at the start. Reports cover progress against programme, cost, quality, safety and risk. You have one accountable contact at StellarCosmic for all of it.
Do you use local labour and suppliers?
Yes, wherever possible. We use Kenyan labour, subcontractors and materials, and build skills transfer into the work. Where a project needs specialist skills, our partners provide them and work alongside local teams.
Which standards do you work to?
The standards set in your contract and specification. We check designs, materials and workmanship against them and keep test records to show compliance. Where the specification is unclear, we raise it early.
Can you take over a project that is already running?
Often, yes. We start by reviewing the contract, programme, records and site, then agree a plan with you to complete the works. What is possible depends on the state of the project, so we begin with that review.
