Commercial Success
Report accurately and effectively
Maintaining details for record-keeping and reference purposes is important in itself, as well as for keeping senior executives informed. RLB reports can be tailored to your specific reporting requirements. Besides covering progress and programme, cost and cashflow, quality, health and safety, contractual matters and warranty status, our reports highlight potential risks and opportunities, available options and associated next steps to support decision-making during construction.
Maintain robust change control
The construction stage of most projects involves some degree of change. To provide robust cost and programme certainty during this critical phase, we make sure contract instructions and change orders are issued with agreed cost and time implications. This involves basing the contractor’s submission and agreement on deadlines set at the time of the initial change request and, where possible, using pre-agreed rates.
Achieve successful project handover
Our contract administration service begins with the preparation and agreement of comprehensive contract documents which reflect your project goals. Open communication and regular meetings contribute to effective management of the construction phase and successful project handover. All details are taken care of, from the provision of early access and completion of defects, to ensuring notices, certificates and instructions are issued in a timely manner.
Keep projects on track
Employer’s agents perform a variety of duties, not least ensuring adherence to third-party agreements. These could include agreements for lease, funding and development, and agreements with local and highway authorities which require proactive engagement with relevant parties. We will ensure key milestones, including early access inspections and section and practical completion, are planned and arranged in advance, with appropriate notices and invitations issued.
