Tender & Contracts

On of our partner Quantity Surveyor/Project Manager (QS/PM) will prepare the relevant documents for Tender and will submit these to a number of approved contractors, including any of your choosing, for quotations

The documents included as a minimum as part of a tender process are normally as follows:

​

-Schedule of Work

-Building Regulations drawings

-Technical Specification

Optional additional documents/drawings as if applicable:

-Supplementary drawings e.g. kitchen and bathroom specialists’ installation drawings & specifications

- Specialist services specifications e.g. renewable energy air conditioning etc. in addition to the detail normally shown on our Building Regulations drawings

-Any additional detailed drawings e.g. staircases, specialist joinery.

- Landscaping and external works drawings and specifications

​

Once the tenders have bene received the QS/PM will equalise them and then you should be able to make the final decision as to which contractor you wish to engage. Contracts can then be drawn up together with payment schedules against an agreed project programme.

​

What happens next?

​

The project is let to the chosen contractor and construction may start after any pre-commencement conditions have been met.

Depending upon the client’s preference and the project size the QWS/PM may be retained on an ongoing basis to manage the construction programme including regular quality check inspections and valuations.

An appointed Building Inspector (usually via the Local Authority) will inspect works on-site at predetermined points.
