Faster, Smarter Project Delivery

With construction more complex and uncertain than ever before, we strongly advocate engaging ULTRA early in your project journey, ideally pre-DA, through what is commonly termed Early Contractor Involvement (ECI).

Our detailed and proven methodology significantly derisks your project, reduces costs, increases value, and delivers results 9–12 months faster than traditional tendering and procurement processes.

Why Choose ECI with ULTRA?

• Proven Time Savings – through well-considered methodology and material alternatives, buildability, and front-ending critical enabling activities in design, approval and procurement.

• Cost Certainty and Reduction – Project cost plan is developed and refined into more accurate budgets as design develops and methodology progresses, starting earlier means greater clarity, greater flexibility to change, higher savings and reduced cost risk.
• Smarter Design Solutions – the team develops and considers alternative methodologies, materials, designs to add value and reduce risk.  From innovative Construction Certificate (CC) strategies to alternate delivery pathways, ULTRA ensures your project reaches site faster with robust, market-tested pricing.
• Collaboration from Day One – dedicated ECI project manager, construction manager and estimating manager, to project manage the ECI stage and ensure the opportunity is optimised.
• Structured Approach, Meetings & Clear Communication – a proven detailed ECI process with hold points, clear deliverables, formal weekly meetings including the client, architect and consultants to ensure ongoing progress, transparency, and alignment.

The Client Advantage

With over 90% of our projects delivered via the ECI process, ULTRA has refined this approach to deliver time, cost and risk savings whilst achieving the highest safety and quality standards.  

We approach every ECI as though we are part of the developer.

Our proactive involvement from concept to construction provides confidence, clarity, and a smoother journey to delivery.

The result? Faster site starts, greater certainty, better cost outcomes, and ultimately, a more successful project.

“One team, one dream.  From concept to completion, we deliver certainty and value.”

We bring architectural vision and construction expertise under one roof, managing every stage — from design and approvals through to build and handover. This integrated approach removes the disconnect between designer and builder, reducing risk, saving months on delivery, and providing budget certainty from day one.

With over 90% of our projects delivered through Design & Construct, we’ve proven our ability to resolve compliance issues early, engineer smarter solutions, and deliver architectural intent without compromise. From boutique luxury residences to multi-residential towers and complex commercial fit-outs, ULTRA ensures your project is completed on time, on budget, and built to last.
