Send the drawings
Full set, partial set or feasibility sketch. Send what exists.
Approach
Fewer surprises start before site.
Construction always involves decisions. The objective is to make the important ones with enough information and enough time.
Read first. Price second.
Documentation is reviewed before it is priced. Coordination issues, missing information and buildability problems are raised while they are still inexpensive to resolve.
Establish the scope
Pricing is prepared against what is documented. Clarifications, assumptions and exclusions are identified rather than buried inside the number.
Contract
Fixed price, or cost plus with open-book trade and supplier invoicing, depending on the project and the agreed delivery model.
Build
Construction proceeds against current documentation, with the person who priced the job remaining responsible for the decisions that follow.
Control changes
Variations are priced, put in writing and approved before the work happens. In that order, every time.
Complete
Occupancy certification, documentation assembled, outstanding work closed out. Defects and warranty obligations continue to be managed after possession.
The person who priced the job runs it.
The drawings do not disappear into an estimating department and reappear with an unrelated site team. The person who assessed the project before contract remains responsible for the construction decisions that follow.
