Primary capability
Design & Build
One accountable delivery team from brief and design coordination through construction, commissioning and handover.
Expertise / Delivery Models
Design & Build, with one team accountable.
OCL brings design coordination, procurement and construction together around the project brief. We can also enter at other stages, from early contractor involvement to construction from completed documentation.
Our primary approach
From brief to a building ready for use
Design & Build gives the client a coordinated path through design, buildability, procurement and construction, with OCL responsible for bringing the work together.
Construction input from the start
We work with the client and consultant team to test performance requirements, services interfaces, construction sequencing and costs before decisions become difficult to change on site.
- One coordinated programme and delivery team
- Early buildability and procurement advice
- Structure, services and specialist fit-out coordination
- Construction, commissioning and handover
How we engage
The right model for each project
Design & Build is a core capability. OCL can also join earlier as an adviser or deliver construction against an established design.
Main Contractor / General Contracting
Disciplined programme, trade, quality and site management against a consultant-led design.
Construction Only
Efficient construction delivery from completed documentation, with practical site coordination and reporting.
Early Contractor Involvement (ECI)
Buildability, sequencing, procurement and cost advice while the design is still being developed.
Turnkey Project Delivery
An integrated path from early planning to a completed, operational facility ready for use.
Design & Build process
One coordinated path from brief to operation
Early construction input keeps performance requirements, buildability, procurement and programme aligned before work reaches site.
