Aequi organise tendering for the project, issuing under strict tender conditions sets of formal building documentation to a group of reputable builders, capable of completing the project, in accordance with the client's initial budget figures, time frame and expectations of workmanship/quality.
Aequi assess tender submissions and final prices, selecting the 'best price' for the Client.
Note: The 'best price' does not necessarily mean the lowest tender price. Instead, it is the price that is most likely to satisfy all of the client's criteria: time, cost and quality.
Aequi organises and supervises the signing of all building contracts between the client and builder, based on the agreed tender price submitted (or formal building quotation, if no tender process has been conducted).
Aequi oversees the entire construction phase, with regular site inspections and processing progress payment claims.
Note: Depending on the size and complexity of the project, site meetings are made between the architect and builder every week or fortnight.
Aequi inspects the completed work, compiling a defects list of any outstanding and/or unsatisfactory work. The defects list is issued to the builder to respond accordingly.
Aequi make a final building inspection to ensure that all items mentioned in the defects list have been addressed. Upon completion of all items mentioned in the defects list, Aequi can recognise the project as practically completed.
This is subject to the Client's intentions. If the Client has already organised a reputable builder, Aequi will simply issue the required set of building documentation for initial pricing, project planning and the eventual commencement of work.
