Project Stages

Stage Five: BUILDERS QUOTATIONS & CONSTRUCTION WORKS
Suitable contractors will be asked to tender and the drawings and specification sent to them accordingly. Some clients may already have builders who they wish to use but, if necessary, suitable contractors can be recommended who would be appropriate for the works. On receipt of the quotations, these will be checked and forwarded to the client with a brief summary and recommendation.

When the contractor is appointed, a contract will be prepared and issued for signature by the two parties. Details such as clarifying the responsibility for insuring the works while under construction and checking the contractors insurance requirements are adequate will be part of a package of measures carried out to ensure the project is satisfactory before works begins.

Once works commence, there will usually be a regular weekly meeting to discuss the works as it progresses in addition to other inspections which maybe necessary to ensure the contractor carries out the work in accordance with the specification and drawings. Some projects may require the services of a Structural Engineer to size steel beams etc. and advice on this aspect will be given together with the introduction of a suitable consultant if required.
