SOLUTIONS FOR CONTRACTORS

In the majority of instances Contractors employ our services on design and build projects. The primary need is for accurate information to be provided for costing purposes to be delivered in a timely fashion, and subsequently the detailed design should the contract be secured.

Here at JPA we have extensive experience in working with Design and Build Contractors to deliver “value engineered” projects to time and budget, in accordance with the Employers Requirements.

Early involvement in the tendering process is essential, in order to have time to work closely with the Architect to develop the best value solution for the project and generate good quality information that may be accurately costed by specialist Sub-Contactors.

A selection of the services that can be provided for Contractors are listed below:

• Understanding of procurement process
• Timeliness of information delivery
• Value engineering
• Full mechanical, electrical, and public health design capability
• BREEAM/Ecohomes
• Co-ordination
• Impact of regulations
• Acoustics
• Budget writing
• Providing advice early in the design stage on how to maximise building's performance under BREEAM and Ecohomes schemes without excessive cost.
