PROJECTS
We Administer Contracts
Are you considering a construction project and wish to reduce risk? Our chartered building surveyors are here to help.
We provide professional services in carrying out specification writing, tendering and overseeing construction projects, both large and small.
In having a professionally drafted specification, it provides direction to the contractor and in turn reduces risk to our Clients.
In tendering works and obtaining prices, often from a pool of contractors that we have worked with before, we obtain competitive costs which assist our Clients.
We carry out the following types of project:
- Roofing Work and External Repairs and Decorations
- Refurbishments to Residential Properties
- Alterations and Improvements to Residential Properties
- Insurance Claims including Fire, Water, Flood and Impact Damage Reinstatement
Services include:
- Specification Writing
- Contract Preparation
- Measured Surveys and Drawings
- Overseeing the Works
JCT Construction Contracts
Generally we recommend projects are properly specified, be competitively priced by Contractors and be annexed to a standard Form of Building Contract such as JCT Minor Works 2016 Edition.
The contractual stage payments made to the Contractor should be agreed from the outset, including any retention period and percentage, and the contract should be administered by a Contract Administrator.
A retention period involves a sum of money being held back from the Contractor for a period of time, until defects which have arisen are resolved; it is only then when the final payment can be made to the Contractor.
