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 help with project feasibility?
Yes. Corlendis can clarify the owner’s objectives, review available information, coordinate properly appointed specialist inputs, compare development options and prepare or coordinate an integrated feasibility. Corlendis does not replace specialist planning, design, valuation, quantity surveying, legal, tax or finance advice.
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, where Corlendis is separately appointed in writing in connection with the executed construction contract and its authority and certification functions are expressly defined. This appointment is separate from ordinary client-side project management.
Can Corlendis assist with progress claims, variations and extensions of time?
Only where properly appointed under the construction contract. Under an Independent Superintendent or Contract Administrator appointment, Corlendis may assess claims, variations, extensions of time, contractual notices and completion matters within its defined authority.
Can Corlendis assist with practical completion, defects and handover?
Yes. As client-side project manager, Corlendis can coordinate Practical Completion readiness, consultant inspections, defects, handover information and closeout. Only a formally appointed Superintendent or Contract Administrator determines and certifies Practical Completion, while the building surveyor retains statutory occupancy functions.
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.
