Retentions

The Construction Industry is feeling a pinch at the moment with cash flows tightening so what should you be doing to overcome the situation. Retentions may provide a solution and if you need any help in getting them released please get in contact.

RAAC or Aerated Concrete

Several of our clients in the education sector have contacted us worried about the use of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in their buildings to see if they have structures and roofs that may be in a dangerous condition.

If you have any concerns, we are in a position to make an early inspection and report on our findings.

Should the need arise, we can provide a one stop shop for replacements, repairs, temporary and new buildings.

Our services include:-
• Building Surveying Inspection & Report
• Recommendations for immediate Action
• Project Management & Principal Designer
• Architect and requisite planning permissions
• Structural Engineer
• QS Cost control Budgets & forecasts
• Mechanical & Electrical Engineering
• Legal Services

Adjudication

We regularly undertake adjudications for sub-contractors in the supply chain on a no win no fee basis. These are still often on a smash and grab or default basis so if you think that you are owed monies and aren’t getting paid what is due please get in touch.

In House training

We have just been appointed to provide in house training for a leading contractor. Our role will be to work alongside the in house personnel team to deliver a better understanding of design and build contracts, the Construction Act and the payment regimes that go with this and the process of Adjudication looking at some of the pitfalls that can be avoided.

Project Management Role

Our construction team have just taken on a new role on a very exciting Project to create a flexible live/work space in central London. The Project for one of the UK’s private developers sees us take on the entirety of the Project; leading the way with Planning and moving onto the construction and implementation phase. The Project which will take 2 years from inception to delivery is a good example of how our multi-disciplinary approach can deliver projects on time and in budget without the need for diverse project professionals
