Employer's Agent
As Employer's Agent we undertake a mix of roles. This will depend on the specific project and client requirements. We are flexible and will provide a bespoke service to suit your specific needs.
We provide this service typically in situations where a client wants to procure a new building which is not complex or could be a duplicate of a previous design where a Design & Build procurement route has been selected.
Design & Build procurement offers some advantages to clients at the start of a project, for example - a quick start on site. If your building is complex, or you may be looking for flexibility or additional design development, then D&B may not be the most suitable option.
We understand the need for good communication and because we provide many of the roles in a design team we can ensure that your needs are fully understood and your expectations are met or exceeded.
Our trademark collaborative approach encourages stakeholders to take responsibility of any issues. We will also support stakeholders where appropriate although at the end of the day we fully understand the need to ensure that the client's objectives are met.
