Our Work

We have decades of contractor delivery and client delivery experience work winning, project management and design management across numerous sectors, project types and forms of contract. In addition to providing a full service offer that covers all stages of a project, we also provide services on an ad hoc support function when a client needs this level of support.

REBHA have access to numerous organisations who we collaborate with and trust to provide us and our clients a service that adds value and reduces risk including Planning Consultants, Architects, Structural Engineers, Registered Building Inspectors and Sustainability Consultancies.

Strategic Work Winning

We provide any level of service required to support your opportunity:

  • Bid campaign: we add most value by working with you in advance of a bid landing, to get yourself and the perception of you with the client, into a winning position before the bid

  • Bid writing: we can fit into your team and write all or certain aspects of the bid

  • Reviewing / critical friend: we can review your responses at staged gateways throughout the writing process to ensure you are delivering them in line with the bid strategy

  • Bid management: we can lead the whole bid process for you, facilitating the workshops to develop winning responses and reviewing the content to ensure the bid is in line with the bid strategy

  • Bid production: we can produce the final documents to an agree graphical style guide, and manage any 3D/4D modelling required

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah on the South West Wales Regional Contractors Framework bid. Strong technically, calm under pressure, organised with tried and tested processes but also operates and delivers at pace. Perhaps equally as important, on every day of the bid, Sarah was upbeat and brought energy to the process - for anyone that works on bids, you know it’s a marathon! Sarah adds significant “fire power” to a bid team and I’d have no hesitation in working with her again or recommending to anyone to consider her services for critical bids.

We’ve been very impressed with Sarah’s knowledge, engagement, inclusion, and pace during our time working together on developing the initial stages of the ISO44001 for a newly formed partnership between two long established organisations. Sarah has taken time to get to know each organisation and has navigated the nuances of both to facilitate positive outcomes, remove conflicting priorities and keep moving forward in line with our agreed timescales. Sarah has also pushed us to think differently and is continually looking to add value along the way.

Director, Tier 1 Contractor

Sarah has been instrumental in guiding us through the early stages of ISO44001 implementation for our newly formed partnership. Sarah’s ability to quickly understand the complexities of both organisations and navigate differing priorities has been invaluable. Sarah brings a proactive and insightful approach, ensuring we stay on track while fostering collaboration and alignment. Sarah’s fresh perspective and commitment to adding value have helped shape our journey, making the process both productive and engaging.

Design Strategy
Project objectives need to be clearly defined, justified, and effectively communicated to those leading the project across all disciplines. We ensure that the project is established correctly from the outset which avoids unnecessary distraction in the later stages of the project.

Design Execution/Management Plan
The Design Execution Plan is a crucial tool documenting the background, method, execution and procedure for undertaking and delivering the design. We work closely with the whole project team to develop the plan so that it appropriately defines the project objectives aligned to the project brief. The plan establishes roles, responsibilities, procedures, and project controls which are considerate and coordinated with the project’s commercial and operational deliverables.

Design Administration
It is essential that all designers and those that utilise their services understand their responsibilities, interfaces and programme for delivering information. Correct project administration ensures clarity, preventing gaps, duplication and scope creep. We collaborate with designers to produce comprehensive appointment documentation, allowing them to focus on design.

Design Programming
Working alongside the project team, we develop programmes that are considerate of the full design and procurement process and provide a clear and precise representation of the design programme and inputs required.

Reporting and Progress Monitoring
We compose and coordinate regular reports so that the designer, design team and client has a clear understanding of the project's objectives and deliverables. The monitoring of progress allows the team to make considered decisions based upon accurate reporting data. 

Matt is an experienced, vastly competent, industry professional with a wide ranging technical and project management skill set. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again

Other Stuff We Have Done!

Design software for education projects

We developed a piece of software, standardised school designs and a component library for a Tier 2 contractor.

The software took the customer through the engagement process and the responses automated a school design. The design was made from a standardised kit of parts which were all fully detailed and costed, meaning we could develop a robust design and cost plan instantly.

We even got shortlisted for a Construction News Award!

Processes perfected

We supported a modular contractor who was going through a growth period and expanding into self-delivered projects.

Our support focused on developing their processes through the bid, design and manufacture stages to ensure they were eliminating risk and developing robust proposals. We then reviewed the factory process and applied lean principles to improve efficiency.

Our service then grew to support with the on-site delivery of the largest (at the time!) modular school on behalf of a main contractor.

Data updated

We supported a Tier 1 contractor to review their data bank used for work winning, to highlight their USPs and ensure all content was relevant to current legislation.

We wanted some external insight to help us improve the information we used in bids. Sarah and Matt helped us develop the scope of the work within our budget and, using their technical knowledge and industry expertise, brought a fresh perspective to our offer. When the brief and timescales changed, they could not have been more helpful or accommodating. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and Matt for their expertise, responsiveness and flexibility.
