Professionalism and Integrity in Construction
If you have found your plot of land, undertaken a feasibility study, obtained the planning permission for your scheme, and checked your costings, you are ready to build. The build phase is a critical stage and so take time to choose your main contractor. It is a major decision and you are looking for the right expertise and company with whom you can trust to work alongside you in building the properties within your scheme.
Choosing a building contractor can be a complex process but we can guide you through the steps with expert advice so that you can feel confident in the choice you make of main contractor to deliver the project.

Firstly, you need to decide how you are going to choose the contractor. Here are some options:
You can consider an open option or a restricted option. The advantage of an open option is that you advertise a tender opportunity and any interested contractor can apply. Alternatively, you can restrict the option by inviting a number of selected contractors to tender which does save on the administrative work.
Although you will not have direct experience of their work you are taking a ‘word of mouth’ recommendation from someone who has worked with them. If they pass your pre-selection checks, you can start negotiations of the terms of the contract.
You will already have a good working knowledge of this contractor so you can ask them to provide you with a tender and negotiate the contract.
Having decided on your tender procedure, you are ready to prepare your project brief which will include your project objectives, creating a list of responsibilities, a quality policy, and the procurement method.
So, for example, are you allowing each contractor to submit tender pricing in their own format or will you have a Bill of Quantities prepared from the drawings for an easier price comparison between tenders.
Having carefully worked you way through the selection process and appointed the best contractor for your specific project, you are ready to translate your drawings into reality.
Before you press the ‘start’ button, review the schedule with your main contractor. Communication is so important at every stage, so ensure that your building contractor is clear about your expectations.

It gives confidence that the project is being well managed because this attitude is consistent throughout the lifetime of the project – from the commencement on site to practical completion and beyond.
