Beliefs

At OskaProd, we have developed a global project management approach

It could seem a nightmare to develop a real estate project in France. How does it work? What are the traps and risks? Who will help me to overcome the various difficulties encountered? Who shall I trust?

Very few clients now believe that the architect is the person qualified to fill this overall role, and all architects now know that they need someone, alongside the client, to guide, arbitrate, coordinate and keep the whole project focused.

Based on our previous expertise in major real estate or urban projects, we have developed an approach to project management that is more complete that usually found. Project management is more than design and technical issues. It also requires legal and financial expertise and the habit of dealing with various administrations, as much as political or communications skills.

Our world has become complex. Leading a project through this complexity requires taking all aspects into consideration, to coordinate all stakeholders so they remain constantly aligned. Negotiations skills, creativity and flexibility are vital in overcoming any difficulties during the successful completion of a project.

First, start well

The success of a project is primarily based on the correct definition, the credibility of the schedule, and the anticipation of risks associated with this specific context. This is why we pay particularly close attention to building an excellent relationship with the client. Our role is to listen, to identify the challenges, the ambitions and the concerns of all sorts (image, internal politics, cultural or financial…), helping the client express their wishes and translating them into a language that the real estate world will understand.

After gaining the trust of our client, we take responsibility for proposing and implementing a strategy, conducting studies and monitoring the completion of the work. Above all, we form a specialised team to help the client, according to the project needs. In short, an ideal cast of partners. Throughout the project, we are present to anticipate, "debug", negotiate and contractualise; ensure parties work consistently, simulate and maintain the dynamic; control and correct, all the while ensuring the quality and the initial vision.

No project that starts badly ends well!

Skills

From the concept to the delivery, customised support

Contextual Diagnosis

During this phase of dialogue with the client, listening, questioning, discussing, analysing constraints and the environment will enable OskaProd to define their expectations and therefore help them to create their project.

Scheduling-feasibility

Needs assessment, market positioning, analysis of the consistency and suitability of the project with the region's politic, social, cultural and economic factors, financial strategy, management of administrative and land issues... Together with its teams and partners, OskaProd organises and manages the project.

Formation of the teams/Project casting

Knowledge of the market players, aesthetic sensitivity and engineering expertise enable OskaProd to identify the ideal cast and, in particular, the architect(s) and technicians whose contributions will create value and boost the project.

Building the Project

OskaProd takes charge of the general organisation of the project, negotiates the contracts with the needed contractors, and follow up the progression of the works, making sure no deviation happens during the execution.

Who are we ?

OskaProd, a team and a network of partners

OskaProd was founded in 2014 by Bertrand Phélippeau, and is independent from all group.

Convinced that expertise and agility are fundamental for successful projects which, by nature, are always evolving, the agency has chosen a flexible model to meet the specific requirements of each project.

Therefore, around the 6 colleagues with varied backgrounds (architects, town planners and engineers), there is a whole ecosystem of technical specialists, lawyers, financial advisors, who can be called upon to form the appropriate team.

OskaProd supports several causes, which reflect its values. As part of this, OskaProd funded the construction of a well in Nkolossang in Cameroon, as well as funding the purchase and planting of a hackberry in the context of the Paris Cité Internationale Universitaire.
