This involves setting up the Contract Conditions for the project and compiling tender documentation; selecting tenderers or working with a preferred contractor to obtain tender pricing for the work; analysing and report on tenders received and letting the contract; observation of the work as it proceeds; supplying additional details or changes during construction; final inspections at completion and the end of the defects liability period; assessing and certifying progress claims and payments checking, and approving variations and agreeing the final contract sum.

All of the above involves regular site visits and contract meetings to ensure that the owner achieves the building that has been designed and that all changes to the original design are managed fairly for all parties.
