Project management typically involves establishing reporting and authorisation procedures to ensure the client, the consultant team, the contractors and works contractors communicate effectively.
Having designed a timetable with the consultants, Formation Design & Build would typically prepare and present budgets and cost studies to the client, monitor cash flow forecasts, and prepare the final accounts. It also carries out regular reporting to present any budgetary variations and cost implications of any extensions or disruption to the construction schedule.
Formation Design & Build will usually carry out any negotiations with the local authorities to secure the necessary planning permissions and any other statutory approvals that may be required (unless they have been acquired in advance). It will establish with the client the selection procedure for the appointment of works contractors, prepare the tender documents, conduct the tender process, establish warranties and guarantees and supervise the appointed contractors.
At the end of the process, it will also usually assist the client in obtaining the statutory licences necessary for the occupation and use of the property, conduct operational tests, arrange final inspection and prepare a health and safety file.
Health & Safety is always a major consideration in the design, procurement, management and construction of all Formation projects.
