Clear answers before you appoint Corlendis.
What Corlendis manages, how specialist consultants fit, and where our project leadership can bring greater control.
What is included in the Complimentary Project Discussion?
A complimentary 30-minute introductory conversation about a property you own, where the project currently stands and the support you may need. It is not a feasibility assessment, professional project review or project-specific advice.
When can Corlendis become involved?
Corlendis works with clients who already own the land or property. We can be engaged for the complete project lifecycle, one individual stage or a separate specialist service.
Does Corlendis help select architects and consultants?
Yes. Corlendis can define consultant requirements, prepare scopes, obtain and compare proposals and assist the client with selection. The client appoints and pays the architect and consultants directly.
Who appoints the consultants and builder?
The client appoints, contracts with and pays the consultants and builder directly. Corlendis coordinates their work but cannot bind the client, approve expenditure or vary another contract unless expressly authorised.
Can Corlendis review an existing feasibility?
Yes. We can review the assumptions and gaps in an existing feasibility supplied by you and coordinate specialist advice. Preparing, updating or auditing a development feasibility or cash-flow model is outside this service.
Does Corlendis provide architectural, planning or quantity surveying services?
No. Corlendis coordinates appropriately qualified consultants appointed directly by the client. Those consultants remain responsible for their designs, advice, documents, certifications and professional duties.
Can Corlendis assist with tendering and builder selection?
Yes. Corlendis can coordinate the tender process, builder assessment and post-tender negotiations, and support the client through builder selection and contract finalisation. The client makes and signs all appointment and contract decisions, with legal advice provided by the client’s construction lawyer.
Can Corlendis be engaged for one project stage?
Yes. Corlendis can be engaged for the complete project lifecycle or for one individual stage where client-side leadership, coordination or independent oversight is needed.
Can Corlendis be appointed as an Independent Superintendent?
Yes, as a standalone service or alongside client-side project management. The appointment must be expressly made in writing under the building contract, with the role and authority defined.
Can Corlendis assist with progress claims, variations and extensions of time?
As client-side PM, we can review these matters and make recommendations. Contractual determinations, notices and certificates are issued only where Corlendis has the relevant written appointment and authority.
Can Corlendis assist with practical completion, defects and handover?
Yes. We can coordinate completion readiness, consultant inspections, handover records and defects follow-up. Corlendis issues contractual completion certificates only under express appointment and authority. Statutory occupancy functions remain with the Building Surveyor.
Who remains responsible for construction and the site?
The builder remains responsible for construction methods and sequencing, site management and supervision, trades and subcontractors, work health and safety, temporary works, workmanship, quality control and compliance with the building contract, permits and applicable requirements.
Where does Corlendis provide project management services?
Corlendis is Melbourne-based and supports property projects across Melbourne, Victoria.
What construction-stage service options are available?
Choose client-side PM with a separate Superintendent, combined PM and Superintendent, or Superintendent and contract administration only. The role, scope and authority are agreed in writing.
How are fees and changes agreed?
Your proposal confirms the fee arrangement and included services. The optional monthly-fee arrangement does not apply to services quoted on a fixed-fee basis.
