Our experience has been gained in high-profile, highly-acclaimed projects having a combined value in excess of $300 million. We have been directly responsible for the management of all aspects of such projects - from the earliest stages of market analysis, thematic research and design programming, through architectural, exhibition and graphic design phases, cost control, tendering and procurement, to the management of fabrication, construction, operations, and take-down.
We have been central to the two largest exhibition projects in Canada - the $85 million Canada Pavilion at Expo 86, and the $185 million Canadian Museum of Civilization and have completed more than 25 projects in the past 10 years.
We offer a complete project management service to ensure the orderly and successful development of creative design projects, on time, and on budget.
Our services include:
• Management plans, feasibility studies, and post-occupancy evaluations
• Project brief preparation and design competitions
• Design direction and design process management
• Project management of design, fabrication and construction
• Cost estimating, cost control, and reporting
• Tendering, procurement, contract management
• Industrial design
Gatrill Management Associates brings to the client-team a depth of knowledge and experience in creative direction and project management which rarely exists within any mission-specific organization.
As "professional clients" we have directed and managed creative design development and construction projects many times, and have managed some of Canada's most creative professionals in the field, including architects, designers, film-makers, engineers, curators, systems specialists, market analysts, etc.
Our corporate philosophy is simple: keep a small, highly-skilled management team in-house - keep everybody else out-of-house. We assemble the best team of creative people and technical implementers for the particular job at hand. We plan and control a flawless project delivery process, and we report precisely to the client. We deliver the very best end-product, on time, and on budget.
Clients employ our services in total or in part. We can provide a complete "turn-key" service - taking responsibility for all aspects of project management, or we can provide specific services to "fill-in" missing areas of expertise within a project team.
The cost of our services is generally saved many times over in reduced costs of design, construction, and operation.
