Processes you appear in
Variation
From a change found on site to a signed variation order, and back down into the subcontract.
Delay and extension of time
Notices travel up within their time limits, the Engineer decides, the Employer approves, and the result comes back down.
Payment
A delivery note becomes a subcontract application, a main contract application, a certificate and a payment.
Material and shop drawing submittals
Supplier data becomes a submittal, is reviewed with a status code, and releases procurement when approved.
Main contract tender and award
From prequalification to award. A bidder asks, the design consultant answers and every bidder receives the same addendum; the tenders are then analysed, clarified and awarded.
Handover, defects and close-out
From the handover strategy to the taking-over certificate, the defects period and the performance certificate.
Specialist equipment procurement
Buying a specialist system from abroad: justification, currency, guarantees, shipping, interfaces and commissioning.
Design appointment and design development
From the business case and the scope of design services, through concept, schematic and detailed design and the authority approvals, to the tender package.
Supervision appointment and mobilisation
The Employer sets the scope of supervision, the consultants propose their methodology, manpower and fees, and the winner mobilises its site team.
