Delivering successful project and cost management for B&Q stores nationwide, we listened, defined, and implemented effective delivery models and processes, improving client satisfaction and efficiency across all three programmes and work streams.

Maximising efficiency for B&Q.

Aligning resources and services flexibly to meet multiple programme demands was key to success. Our dedicated team, experienced with B&Q projects, swiftly adapted to changes and urgent needs. EDGE provided comprehensive support, offering detailed store-specific reports and high-level programme management.

We developed bespoke documentation and reporting structures tailored to project and stakeholder requirements, streamlining reporting at both store and programme levels. This approach contributed valuable, long-term insights to B&Q’s programme planning.

Our agility and ability to meet design and digital needs enhanced project success, ensuring every aspect of the portfolio aligned with B&Q’s strategic goals.

Adapting to needs with dedicated cost management.

EDGE provided a one-stop-shop solution, managing the B&Q rollout from inception to completion. Partnering with trusted supply chain experts, we challenged and validated contractor costs across 80+ stores, five contractors, and four phases over two financial years.

By utilising our services, we achieved an average 11% reduction in initial cost submissions, creating a significant programme benefit. Our flexible team, focused on value and contract optimisation, delivered significant cost savings while ensuring project success.

This client-centric approach maximised benefits for B&Q, aligning with their long-term goals.
