ACD Projects have an experienced Quantity Surveying department which includes an extended team of knowledgeable sub-consultants, with particular expertise and experience in the animal sector.
The team will provide you with financial and contractual advice throughout the duration of any construction project. Here’s a little explanation of the sort of work a quantity surveyor needs to carry out on a veterinary or animal welfare build.
Pre-contract
Preparation of contract documents for signature by the parties
Budgetary advice from initial concept through to pre-tender stage
Feasibility studies and funding application information
Development appraisals and cost planning
Value engineering to ensure optimum financial solutions
Preparation of appropriate tender documentation (including hybrid arrangements, should the circumstances so dictate)
Interviewing and inspection of contractors for your project, including ensuring likely contractors have the appetite, but mainly the financial ability to carry out your works without risk to you
Evaluation of tenders received and recommendation for acceptance
Post-contract
Agreement with the contractor of the Final Account
Cash-flow forecasting
Preparation of interim recommendations for payments to the contractor
‘Value Engineering’ advice, where appropriate, in respect of authorised variations
Valuation and payment certificates to the satisfaction of funding stakeholders, such as banks and other lenders
Agreement with the contractor of the value of authorised variations
Dispute management and settlement, offering advice to the client in the event of contractual disputes and the negotiation of appropriate settlements
