Formal contract terms
Schemes are run to JCT contract terms, giving both sides a clear, standard-form basis for scope, payment and programme.

CDM compliance built in
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations duties, including principal contractor responsibilities, the health and safety file and site inductions, are managed as standard rather than bolted on.
03
RAMS & site compliance
Risk assessments, method statements and full site compliance documentation are in place before work starts, giving developers and their teams a clear audit trail.
04
One point of contact
A single project lead is accountable for programme, budget and compliance throughout, whether we're principal contractor or a specialist subcontractor.
Four stages, run to the compliance a formal scheme requires.

Professional contracts, explained
Pricing a fit-out? See the office fit-out cost guide.
Do you act as principal contractor, or only as a subcontractor?
Both, depending on the scheme. We take on the principal contractor role for projects we're leading end to end, and work as a specialist subcontractor within an existing project team where that's the right fit.
What contract form do you work to?
Schemes are typically run to JCT contract terms, giving a clear standard-form basis for scope, payment and programme. We can discuss the specific form that suits your project.
Do you manage CDM duties and health and safety documentation?
Yes. Construction (Design and Management) Regulations duties, RAMS, site inductions and the health and safety file are managed as part of the service, not left for the client or design team to chase.
Can you work alongside our existing architect or project manager?
Yes. We regularly work within an existing project team, whether as principal contractor reporting to a client's project manager or as a subcontractor delivering a defined package of works.
