Services Offered
Estimating
Tender Responses, BOQ Preparation, Tender Contract Reviews, Cost Plans, Cash Flow Forecasts, Bid Writing.
For contractors, the preparation of bids, estimates, cost plans, cash flows are all necessary for the running of your business, but all take time which could be better spent focussing on the delivery of your existing projects. For businesses that cannot commit to a full-time estimator, or require additional assistance to supplement their existing team, we are here to provide that service.
For developers or private homeowners looking for best value for their money, we can manage the process from preparing cost-plans required for funding from banks, all the way through to preparing tender documentation and the appointment of a contractor following a competitive tender process
Quantity Surveying & Cost Control
Contract Preparation, Progress & Price Measurement, Interim and Final Application for Payments, Valuation of Changes, Variations and Compensation Events, Defending and Pursuing Claims, Cost Value Reconciliation Preparation, Profit & Loss Accounting, Contractual Notices and Contract Management, Contract Advice.
Manging a project commercially, from a client or contractor perspective, can be a challenge. There are many obligations placed on both parties for construction projects under CDM regulations and under the Construction Act. This is where an experienced quantity surveyor can be a worthwhile investment; we can ensure that payments are valued and certified on time, ensuring that the change account is up-to-date and progress payments made are sufficient to ensure a contractor’s cash-flow. This is an important aspect of a construction project for all parties; sufficient cash-flow is necessary to ensure a contractor can continue to deliver, and any queries with regards to an assessment should be dealt with at the nearest opportunity. Equally, a correct interim valuation allows a client to track progress, not to overpay upfront and ensure that the contractor is delivering against their programme.
We also welcome businesses that need more general or ad hoc assistance to deliver contract administration or quantity surveying activities as stated above.
Project Management
Microsoft Project and Primavera P6 Project Plan Creation and Updates, Project Management from Inception to Completion, CAD and 3D Modelling Services.
As someone who is embarking on a construction project but lacks experience in project management, you may find that you have a need for a professional to come in and help manage your contractor or site team. Heath and safety, programme management and quality assurance are all areas that our team can provide assistance with should the need arise.
Contractors who need supplementary assistance in delivering projects may require ad hoc support from our team to deliver any element of their works; we are happy to be flexible and help wherever possible using our team and contacts throughout the industry.
Dispute Avoidance and Dispute Resolution
Mediation Services, Dispute Advisory and Dispute Review.
Nobody wants to enter into a dispute with their clients or with their contractors; however, when money or personal assets are involved, disputes tend to be inevitable. It is in every party’s interest to ensure that these disputes do not drag on, and a collaborative working relationship returns as soon as possible.
There are many ways to resolve disputes, and most should need no external interference at all. However, should parties to a dispute be unable to find the middle ground, they may need some help. We are here to speak with both parties, to identify the issues, provide any thoughts we have on the situation or on any entitlements, and endeavour to provide a solution which can appease all.
