PROJECTS
We Administer Contracts
if you are you considering a construction project, our chartered building surveyors are here to help.
We provide professional services in completing specification writing, tendering works and overseeing construction projects both large and small.
A professionally drafted specification provides direction to the contractor, whilst reducing risk for our Clients. A costed specification can be incorporated into a formal contract.
Tendering works and obtaining competitive costs achieves good value for money for our Clients enabling “like for like” comparison.
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 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.
