Our project managers are engineers. We take on the phases where ICT either holds or fails: commissioning, cut-over, handover and operational readiness, inside live environments.

WHERE WE COME IN
Most ICT programmes are well designed and badly landed.
The risk concentrates at the end, in the weeks where systems are energised, integrated, tested and handed to the people who have to run them. That is the phase we own.
01
Strategy and advisory
Scoping, options analysis, technical due diligence and delivery planning before the budget is locked.
Advisory
02
Design coordination
Reviewing consultant design against buildability, resilience targets and the operating model the client actually has.
Advisory
03
Procurement and implementation
Vendor scoping, contractor interface management and programme control across concurrent ICT and building services works.
Lead
04
Testing and commissioning
Commissioning plans, witnessed testing, integrated systems testing and defect close-out against a live register.
Lead
05
Cut-over and handover
Runsheets, rollback positions, migration windows and staged transition planned around operations that keep running.
Lead
06
Operational readiness and support
Asset data, documentation, training, spares and support arrangements, so day one is not the first time anyone runs it.
Lead
THE DIFFERENCE
Engineers running the programme, not managing it from a distance.
Specialised Management Group was founded in 2017 because construction companies were struggling with building services on complex sites. We started in commissioning and handover and expanded from there.
Our project managers hold engineering qualifications and read the drawings themselves.
We work inside live environments, planning around operations rather than pausing them.
We hold a single register of scope, risk, status and sign-off that everyone works from.
Directors stay on the job. You deal with the people who scoped it.
Full lifecycle ICT project delivery for secure, resilient and mission critical infrastructure. We are brought in when the technology has to integrate with the building, the operation and the compliance regime around it.
SCOPE OF SERVICE
What we take responsibility for.
01
Technical due diligence
Independent review of design, resilience assumptions, capacity and single points of failure before commitment.
02
Programme and interface management
Coordinating ICT works against base build, mechanical, electrical and security trades on a single critical path.
03
Procurement support
Specification, tender evaluation and vendor scoping so the contract covers testing, documentation and handover, not just supply.
04
Commissioning management
Commissioning plans, witnessed testing, integrated systems testing and a defect register worked to close-out.
05
Cut-over and migration planning
Runsheets, rollback positions, outage windows and stakeholder sequencing for transitions inside live operations.
06
Operational readiness
Asset registers, as-built documentation, training, spares, support contracts and the operating procedures the facility needs on day one.
HOW AN ENGAGEMENT RUNS
The register is the project.
Every engagement is run against one live document that records scope, responsibility, status and sign-off. Nothing is verbal, nothing sits with a single person, and the client can see the position at any point.
Stage 1
Position assessment
We review the programme, design and contracts, and give you a written position on risk, gaps and the realistic delivery window.
2 to 3 weeks
Stage 2
Delivery plan
Scope split by party, commissioning strategy, testing regime, documentation requirements and the handover definition agreed in writing.
3 to 4 weeks
Stage 3
Delivery and commissioning
We run the interface, chair the meetings, witness the testing and hold the register through to defect close-out.
Programme length
Stage 4
Transition to operations
Handover pack, training, support arrangements and a defined period of post-occupancy attendance.
4 to 12 weeks
ONGOING SUPPORT
Delivery does not end at practical completion.
Facilities carry the consequences of a rushed handover for years. Where a client wants continuity, our ICT Service Desk picks up first line and escalation support against agreed response targets, using the asset data and documentation we built during delivery.
