SPECIAL IST PROJ ECT MANAGEMENT FOR BROADCAST SERVICES
for Success Splice Grade Suite Online Room
There was a lot of work to get completed while the rest of the facility was still running.
Darryl saved money by keeping the budget down and scrutinising, questioning and finessing the quotes. He looked at everything we were paying for and made sure our money was spent in the best possible way.
We were working with all of the same people. Nothing’s changed there. It’s s small world of suppliers. But for the first time in a long time, we could sit back and get on with our jobs without micromanaging the build. And it was getting done a lot faster.
A POST PERSPECTIVE
When it comes to post production, you’re building something which is quite personal. It’s not just that it’s your own company. It’s not just building a shop, a hairdresser or even a hotel. Everyone’s got to be happy to sit in our suites for very long periods and be comfortable working, to have a good experience.
Splice is a working facility and we’ve got to be sensitive working around our customers and making sure we’re not disturbing them and that takes planning and forethought. It might be what hours the builders need to work or at the weekend and yes, you might have greater costs, but you’ve got to think about your customers first.
We’ve also got to hit deadlines ahead of the suite being booked for a customer. There’s a sensitivity to how the business runs, and Darryl just gets it. He understands where we’re coming from.
BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
Darryl’s the point person who brings it all together – the builders and the suppliers while listening to and understanding what we need – and making sure it all comes together in the right order and at the right time.

We had worked with a project manager before, but they didn’t understand post production. They didn’t understand the important details around brickwork and air gaps and rubber insulation. We ended up being here every day trying to sort it out
edit suites. He already understands those details and the right order of events that you learn over the years by getting it wrong.
Building work can be really frustrating and slow and expensive if you get it wrong. With proper project managing you can get
“Darryl is my go-to Project Manager for projects that need that extra level problem solving and client support over and above good project management, handling complex deliverables to tight timescales. I have recommended him to a number of clients in the broadcast / post production sector and will be doing so again.”
JERRY BENNETT, WESTWOOD JOINERY SERVICES
when we had better things to be doing with our time. (And you end up feeling like a bit of an idiot running a company when you’re on the stairs telling builders to tidy up after themselves.)
Darryl knows what fibre and CAT6 we need and how that all comes back to the server rooms and machine rooms. But he’s more post friendly than that. He knows about how sound insulation works and should be installed. And he understands our specific industry requirements, like the heating, ventilation and air conditioning for the server room and getting fresh air into our
it delivered faster and get your clients in earlier without as much distraction or fuss.
If you get the right person, they become self-funding. Darryl’s more than paid for himself. I wouldn’t do another job without a project manager like Darryl and I’d prefer that project manager is Darryl. Darryl’s pretty laidback and nothing is ever a problem. He just gets the job done.
With Darryl managing the project, you can get on with your life.
