F&M Network connects trusted contractors with quality construction projects, supported by experienced procurement and delivery expertise from first enquiry through to delivery.

No subscriptions. No paid leads. No fee to tender.

designed to be built properly.

For architects and designers, F&M does more than find contractors. We help build the right delivery team, manage procurement and stay close to the project so the design intent carries through to delivery.

The small details matter. We help make sure they aren't lost between drawing, tender and construction.

build the team

Vetted contractors selected for the project, sector, scale and level of detail required.

protect the intent

Scope, specifications and key design details are carried clearly through the tender process.

support delivery

F&M can remain involved during construction, helping resolve issues and keeping delivery aligned with the agreed design.

how the network works

Eight stages from enquiry to delivery review. Every project is qualified before a single contractor is asked to price it.

01

project enters f&m

Scope, location, budget, programme, design stage, packages and commercial requirements are captured.

02

f&m qualifies it

We make sure the project is sufficiently defined and commercially realistic before asking contractors to price it.

03

the right team is built

Contractors are selected around trade, sector, scale, geography, capacity, experience and past performance.

04

contractors decide

Relevant contractors receive a properly presented opportunity and choose whether they want to tender.

05

f&m manages procurement

Scope clarification, tender queries, estimating support, exclusions, programme and commercial comparison.

06

the team is appointed

Clear scope, responsibilities, programme and commercial terms before construction begins.

07

design moves into delivery

Where appointed, F&M works between the design team and contractors so key details, specifications and design decisions are understood on site.

08

delivery is reviewed

Quality, programme, communication, commercial behaviour and attention to detail feed back into the F&M Network.
