CHARTERED SURVEYORS

Project Management Services

What are they?

These are construction works projects which can include: a roof replacement, internal or external repairs and redecorations and new construction, or the installation of new infrastructure. They are often undertaken out in conjunction with a consultation process under Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.

 

What does the process involve?

  • The Client appoints a Surveyor to prepare a specification for a works project.
  • A site visit and meeting takes place with the Client. The Surveyor produces a brief, setting out the scope of the proposed works, which is reviewed and approved by the Client.
  • A full specification is then prepared and issued for approval.
  • Once approved, the Surveyor then recommends approved and vetted Contractors.
  • The Client is also able to nominate a suitable Contractor to include on the tender list.
  • The specification and other contract documents are sent to each contractor to prepare a formal tender.
  • Upon receipt all tenders are validated.
  • The Surveyor will then prepare a Tender Analysis Report of the valid tenders.
  • The report will recommend which contractor should be awarded the project.
  • All projects are undertaken under an industry standard contract protocol.
  • The parties will then agree pre-site meeting and start date.
  • Once works have commenced, the Surveyor will carry out regular site visits throughout the work’s stage and proactively manage the contract.
  • Regular valuations are carried out to certify the amount of work conducted on-site and ensure the correct amount is paid at each stage less a retention allowance.
  • The Surveyor will carry out a final inspection with the Contractor to produce a snagging list. Subject to these issues being remedied by the contractor, a practical completion certificate is then produced.
  • A final retention is held subject to a Defects Liability Period: typically 6 or 12 months after practical completion.
  • A final inspection and a snagging list is produced for the Contractor to address prior to signing off the retention.
