How do you help clients?
I work with clients to deliver projects on time and within their budget, whilst identifying opportunities for value engineering.
Experience
- Advising on claiming liquidated damages (LADs) for plots which were handed over past their longstop date, to recuperate the potential lost earnings from renting out the plots.
- Carrying out a tender analysis to advise a client on the best option for a new contractor on a scheme where the previous contractor went into administration.
- Contesting Part M compliance and ensuring the main contractor rectified the works, including incorrect switch/ socket heights, level access into the property and ensuring the parking bays were a sufficient size.
- Value engineering – reducing the quoted instruction cost for flooring to the shared ownership units by breaking down the m2 rate for carpet and vinyl installation and presenting a lower cost proposal, saving the client approximately £25,000 on the original quote.
- Assessing and providing feedback on contractors cashflow forecasts to ensure the client maintains a healthy cash flow.
