Why Ventra
Run to formal contract terms, not a handshake and a hope.
VP / PCC / 02
01
Formal contract terms
Schemes are run to JCT contract terms, giving both sides a clear, standard-form basis for scope, payment and programme.
02
CDM compliance built in
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations duties — principal contractor responsibilities, health and safety file, site induction — are managed as standard, not bolted on after the fact.
03
RAMS & site compliance
Risk Assessment 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 acting as principal contractor or a specialist subcontractor.
The Process
Four stages, run to the compliance a formal scheme requires.
01 / 04
Scheme review & tender
We review drawings, specification and programme, and price the scheme in detail — as principal contractor or as a specialist subcontractor within an existing project team.
02 / 04
Contract & pre-construction
Contract terms are agreed, CDM duties assigned, and RAMS and site documentation prepared before mobilisation.
03 / 04
Delivery
The scheme is managed to programme with regular progress reporting, formal site records, and compliance documentation maintained throughout.
04 / 04
Handover
Practical completion, health and safety file, and full close-out documentation delivered as part of handover — not chased up afterwards.
Common Questions
Professional contracts, explained

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.
