Managing Director
Paul Coory
Paul Coory created COHA Group because he saw a gap in the design and construction market – where the quality of client advocacy was not what it could be. Paul possesses a unique combination of skill sets having worked in architectural practices, in property development and construction companies.
This unique combination across all three professions positions Paul, and by extension COHA Group, perfectly to represent their clients’ interests more effectively, adding tangible value throughout every phase of a project.
These skills are harnessed to effectively manage projects from start to finish, as well as managing the most complicated and simple projects with equal skill and passion. His empowering style of managing a team of architects, consultants, contractors and stakeholders with empathy, collaboration and a fierce dedication to integrity and quality outcomes reflects in all of COHA Group’s projects. Above all, Paul and COHA Group are unashamedly passionate advocates for their clients and their projects.
Our Valued Clients
We work with clients whose values align with our own. By proving our ability to add value and deliver cost savings, our clients come back to us time and again.
Exceptional Planning and Controls
“For a live hospitality environment to complete a 15-month transformation of the entire venue with no impact to financial performance comes down to exceptional planning and controls in not only staging plans but delivery, contractual obligations and scrutiny/oversight by the Project Management Team in COHA Group.”
Customer Service Approach
“In addition to their professionalism and program management, COHA Group's customer service approach has been outstanding. They have consistently provided timely support and valuable insights, making the entire process smooth and efficient. Their reporting has been thorough and informative, allowing the school to stay updated on the progress of each project. We highly recommend COHA Group for their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional results.”
Comprehensive Understanding
“COHA Group's expertise in project management has been instrumental in steering the project towards success by bringing in their network of consultants to support the project pro bono. Their comprehensive understanding of the intricacies within the sports, and specifically inclusion has brought substantial value to various aspects of the project, including design development, consultant management, land-use planning and business modelling."
Bespoke Outcome
“Paul and his team helped the club achieve excellent value through a dedicated application to scrutinising cost, design documentation and variation claims throughout the construction process. COHA Group’s strong understanding of the sporting sector, particularly the needs of elite sporting facilities allowed a bespoke outcome for the requirements of our organisation and stakeholders.”
Attention to detail
"Paul's attention to detail and problem-solving capabilities were particularly impressive. He was able to identify and address potential project risks proactively, continuously providing advice and possible resolutions and he kept a close eye on possible variations, which on a number of occasions, he was able to minimise and or prevent completely... COHA Group's services was deemed most valuable and significantly contributed to the overall success of this project."”
The Team Listened
"The team listened acutely to what we were seeking and had the ability to adapt and at all times expressed a high level of professionalism and generally terrific to work with.”
Tremendous Value
