Modia Consulting were appointed by the contractor to evaluate and price the proposed construction of a new staircore and passenger lift and lift shaft at Rathfarnham Castle. As part of the service Modia Consulting were responsible for appointing all sub contractors, issuing cash flows and reporting on cost changes. The service included for programme reviews and the submission of payment applications to the project design team.
