The Traditional Lump Sum approach is a cornerstone of our procurement strategies, designed to provide you with a straightforward and secure method of engaging our services. Here’s what it means for you when partnering with us:

Fixed Price Assurance:
Under the Traditional Lump Sum method, we agree on a fixed price for the entire project before the construction begins. This price is based on detailed project specifications, drawings, and quantities, ensuring that you know the total cost upfront. It offers financial certainty, allowing you to budget accurately without worrying about unexpected expenses.

Comprehensive Scope Analysis:
Prior to establishing the lump sum price, our team conducts an exhaustive analysis of the project scope. We ensure that every aspect of the project is accounted for, from materials to labor, to avoid any surprises during the construction phase. This meticulous planning is the foundation of our lump sum agreement and is crucial for the smooth execution of the project.

Risk Management:
By opting for a Traditional Lump Sum contract, the risk associated with cost overruns shifts from you, the client, to us, the contractor. We take on the responsibility for managing the costs within the agreed-upon budget, giving you peace of mind that the financial aspects of the project are controlled and predictable.

“P & G plus Margin” refers to a procurement method where the project costs are divided into two main components: Preliminaries and General (P & G) items, and a Margin for profit and overhead. This approach offers a blend of flexibility and transparency, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the costs involved in your project.

Preliminaries and General (P & G):
This component covers the direct costs associated with the project, including site management, temporary works, materials, labor, and equipment.

Margin:
The Margin represents our fee for managing the project, including profit and overheads. It is calculated as a percentage of the P & G costs.

Benefits
Choosing the P & G plus Margin procurement method offers several key advantages:

Transparency:
This method provides a clear and detailed view of the project costs. By separating the P & G items from the Margin, you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

Flexibility:
The P & G plus Margin approach allows for greater flexibility throughout the project. As the project evolves, adjustments to the P & G items can be made to accommodate changes, ensuring the project meets your exact needs and preferences.

Cost Control:
With a detailed breakdown of P & G items, you can make informed decisions about where to allocate the budget, potentially identifying areas for cost savings without compromising on quality.

Collaboration and Partnership:
This method encourages a collaborative relationship between us. It fosters a partnership approach, where both of us work closely together to achieve the best possible outcomes for the project.

Phased Construction is an approach where a project is divided into distinct phases, allowing for detailed planning, execution, and assessment at each stage. This method provides several advantages, including improved risk management, enhanced quality control, and the ability to make adjustments as the project progresses. Here’s how Phased Construction works with us:

Strategic Planning:
Before construction begins, we work closely with you to understand your vision, objectives, and constraints. We then break down the project into manageable phases, each with specific goals and milestones. This planning stage is critical for setting a solid foundation for the entire project.

Flexible Execution:
By dividing the project into phases, we can adapt more easily to any changes you may want. This flexibility means that adjustments can be made without significantly impacting the overall project timeline or budget. It also allows for the early incorporation of feedback, ensuring the final outcome aligns perfectly with your expectations.

Focused Expertise:
Each phase of the building process can be tailored to utilise specialized skills and resources precisely when they’re needed. This ensures that every aspect of your project is handled by experts, from the initial groundwork to the final finishes.

Cost Management:
Phased Construction allows for more accurate cost predictions and better budget control. Since each phase is planned and assessed individually, costs can be monitored and managed more effectively, reducing the likelihood of unexpected expenses.

Quality Assurance:
With a phased approach, quality checks can be conducted more thoroughly at the end of each stage. This ongoing evaluation helps to maintain high standards throughout the construction process, ensuring that every phase meets our strict criteria for excellence.
