You’ve won the contract, but lack the resources to source required subcontractors and award the right contracts at the right time.

When procurement resource is short
Procurement, as we both know, involves sourcing everything needed to build and commission a building or other structure for the best possible value. Whether it’s a small work package, or complete procurement for a project, whoever handles your procurement must demonstrate the following:
- Attention to detail.
- Effective management of contract documentation.
- Complete discretion and confidentiality.
- Understanding and management of risk (and placing risk with whoever is best equipped to manage it).
- Interpersonal skills to work calmly and assertively with tenderers while under pressure.
Understanding drawings (and their implications)
For your complete peace of mind, we combine and balance the following:
- Strong theoretical knowledge
- Procedural know-how
- Pragmatism
- Cost-awareness
- Integrity
- Real-world experience
Simply reading drawings is one thing. But understanding the practical implications of, for instance, the complex temporary works they depict (and making intelligent assessments) takes practical experience.
Similarly, extensive on-site experience of project phasing means we know how to let different contract elements at the right time to keep works flowing and avoid costly delays. From planning suitable overall procurement schedules to understanding the implication of extended lead times for individual component procurement means you get continuity – the continuity that keeps works on target, maximises profitability and protects your reputation.
Making you and your client look good
When we help you get procurement right, it’s the key to letting contracts at the right price and time to keep your project moving. We help you deliver your contractual obligations on time, to budget and in ways that enhance your (and your client’s) hard-earned reputation.
