Tenders are sought from reputable builders and prices are evaluated and reported to the Client.  A contract is drawn-up in a form agreed with the Client.
The works are monitored on site to check that the builder is complying with the specification and drawings in terms of quality and progress.
All aspects of the contract are administered in accordance with the contract.
