Employer's requirements to design and build tender recommendation
We take off your hands: drafting the employer's requirements, running the tender and its queries, and checking each contractor's proposals against them.
You get: draft employer's requirements from your client's standards, every bid checked against them and a tender report weighing design and price, for your QS to sign.

The problem
On design and build we find out after signing that the contractor priced something different.
How the steps join up
It starts when: the client decides to procure the scheme on a design and build contract.
Draft employer's requirements from the company's standard specification and the scheme details
Your team checks and decides at this step.
Assemble the employer's tender documents for a main contract
Log bidders' tender queries and draft answers to issue equally to all bidders
Compare design and build proposals against the employer's requirements
Analyse returned main contractor tenders and draft the tender report
Your team checks and decides at this step.
What you end up with: Employer's requirements are drafted from the client's standards, the tender goes out complete, queries are answered equally, each contractor's proposals are checked against the requirements and the client gets a tender report that weighs design compliance as well as price.
Who signs it off: Your employer's agent approves the requirements, your QS signs the tender report and the client decides.

If those aren’t in place yet, you’ll hear that before anything gets built.
Who it’s for
- Developers and housebuilders
