Mike BraggDirector · BSc (Hons) MCIArbCoast PM combines construction, commercial and dispute resolution expertise to help clients navigate projects with confidence.
Led by Mike Bragg, who has over 20 years' experience across main contracting, specialist subcontracting and residential development, Coast PM offers a rare combination of strategic oversight and hands-on delivery experience. Having worked with some of the leading main contractors in the country, as well as developers and specialist subcontractors, Mike understands the operational, commercial and practical challenges faced at every stage of a project.
Supported by a team of trusted specialists in project management, quantity surveying, commercial management, building services, compliance and dispute resolution, Coast PM delivers clear, pragmatic advice and tailored support across a diverse range of construction projects and sectors.
Hands-on operational support scaled to the engagement, from a single project health review to retained project delivery, and contracting for projects up to £2m.
Developer returns translated into a realistic cost plan, and contractor delivery risk into numbers that stand up to scrutiny.
Reviews of programme, procurement, quality and H&S, backed by drone surveys, plus hands-on recovery support.
Construction methodology, sequencing and site logistics planning developed to de-risk delivery before ground is broken.
Teams that can deliver, value engineering to unlock budget, and the right tools and systems from day one.
MEP design responsibility, coordination, procurement and commissioning managed from design through to handover.
