Farm Solar Project Management — Multi-Building Programmes

What the Farm Solar Project Management Service service delivers

For large or multi-building farm solar programmes (£500,000+ capital), our project management service ensures the programme delivers on time, on budget, and to specification. Acts as your dedicated project manager interfacing between your team, the installer team, DNO, planners, lenders, and any third parties.

Detailed scope and pricing

Project management scope. Programme planning (phase definition, capital programming, timeline coordination); budget management (cost tracking, variance reporting, change control); stakeholder management (farm operator team, installer team, DNO connections team, planning authority, lender, insurer); risk management (risk register, mitigation tracking, escalation); communications (regular status reports, milestone tracking, exception reporting). When project management matters. Multi-building programmes above £500,000 capital where the farm doesn't have internal capacity. Programmes coordinating multiple trades (asbestos removal, re-cladding, PV install, EV charging, monitoring). Programmes with multiple stakeholders (farm operator + estate landlord + lender + supplier audit team). Project management fee. Typically 5-8% of total capital cost on programmes above £500,000. For a £1m programme, fee approximately £50,000-£80,000. Substantial cost but delivers material savings: typical PM-managed programme delivers approximately 2-3 months ahead of unmanaged equivalent; budget variance typically 1-3% better than unmanaged equivalent. Integration with our install scope. We can provide PM service as part of integrated install scope (PM cost rolled into project fee) or as standalone consultancy independent of installer selection. Standalone PM is rare but useful when the farm wants independent assurance. Who the service serves. Estate managers running multi-building farm programmes. Family farm partnerships running succession-aligned major capital investments. Larger institutional farm operations with formal governance requirements.
