PROJECTS
We Administer Contracts
If you are you planning a construction project, why go it alone? Our team is here to help drawing from years of experience in specifying and overseeing a range of projects.
Our professional services include specification writing, tendering works, producing construction contracts and overseeing projects both large and small.
A professionally drafted specification maintains a high level of control in relation to the build design and also provides direction to the contractor in turn reducing risk in many areas for our Clients.
Our specifications costed by contractors can be incorporated into a formal contracts which can be administered fairly and impartially.
A professional specification competitively tendered enables “like for like” costs which can be subsequently analysed and compared.
We carry out the following types of project:
- Domestic Extension and Alteration Projects
- Roofing Work and External Repairs and Decorations
- 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 (not always) we recommend projects are properly specified, competitively tendered and be annexed to a standard Form of Building Contract such as JCT Minor Works 2016 Edition.
The contractual stage payments are agreed from the outset, including any retention period and percentage, and the contract is subsequently administered by a Contract Administrator.
A retention period is where a sum of money being held back from the Contractor for a period of time, until defects which arise during this period are resolved. It is only then when the final payment can be made to the Contractor.
