We currently offer only contract administration services at the construction phase. If required, we may assist to nominate the main contractor and sub-contractors for the project.

The Design Phase:

Our design phase agreement corresponds to the design and engineering phase of a project which covers the following:

Scheduling; Feasibility, Technical development; Preparation of subcontract tender documents and Legislative applications.

The work produces formal specification designs and
budget ready for construction. This enables the client to then choose a construction contract format and an industry contract such as the JCT, NEC, FIDIC.
