• Gain approvals. We coordinate and resolve any town planning requirements, building permits and issues with adjoining owners.

We assess and negotiate with the tenderers and recommend appropriate building contracts. We review the building contract prior to execution to ensure all requirements have been met.
• Manage works during construction. We liaise with the builder and manage the building contract and other specialist contractors or novated contracts. We hold regular project meetings which keep the client informed at all times.
• Contract administration. We review all builders’ progress claims, cost variations, extension of time claims and the administration of Provisional Sums and Prime Cost items.
• Time and quality control. Monitor quality at every stage of the project through regular inspections and photographic records, review and monitor the builders program and progress on the job through regular project meetings.
• Manage handover of the project. Inspect the project at completion and manage the defects list then monitor rectification by the builder.
