Employer's requirements to appointed design and build contractor
We take off your hands: drafting employer's requirements, vetting who to invite and comparing contractor tenders against the requirements and budget.
You get: draft employer's requirements, a tender comparison against the requirements and appraisal budget, and contract risks flagged, for your board to decide.

The problem
Every contractor prices something different and we can't compare them against our budget.
How the steps join up
It starts when: a scheme with planning permission is ready to tender to main contractors.
Draft employer's requirements from the company's standard specification and the scheme details
Check shortlisted contractors before inviting them to tender
Your team checks and decides at this step.
Compare design and build proposals against the employer's requirements
Compare main contractor tenders against the appraisal budget and employer's requirements
Check a contractor's second-stage price against the cost plan
Run second-stage package tenders and track them against the first-stage target on two-stage work
Review contracts and terms against your standard positions and flag risks
Your team checks and decides at this step.
What you end up with: Employer's requirements come from the company's standard specification, the right contractors are invited, tenders are compared against the requirements and the appraisal budget, and the board appoints a contractor knowing the margin effect and contract risks.
Who signs it off: Your development director sets the tender list, your board decides the award and your solicitor reviews the contract.
