Templates for the Construction Industry

Let’s face it construction is a risky business. Very few contractors can manage this risk and take their businesses to the next level. It takes great skill / resources / cashflow and quality control to deliver quality projects on time and have all the required paper work in place.

But even these businesses if asked will complain of not getting everything done or having not provided / recorded enough information. Information is everything in construction. It records the success of the project, details the failures, provides vital information for tendering and most importantly reduces risk in the event of a delay claim for time or loss and expense claim where detailed particulars are required.
 
As if building isn’t stressful enough working with tradesmen, labourers, which take the best out of any manager one still have to make money on your fixed tender price. It is tough all right. Plus being one of the oldest professions of mankind’s existence it places an inherently strong contractual obligation on a contractor ensuring the client is protected from fly by nights and ensuring they are buying what parties signed up to.
 
So how does successful business’s get all of this done and still have time to go and play golf on a Wednesday afternoon? They all have one thing in common…their controls are in place which ensures that all their obligations are met. These controls could be maintained by one of the following resources;

• Managers, employees
• Software
• Audit platforms
• Company Procedures
• Template documents
   
  Now all of these come at a price and a product that combines all of the above would be perfect, but face it very few companies if any can provide such a solution. Furthermore most of the construction industry contractors have created and moulded their own controls through trial and error and years of experience. These proven controls and documents would be invaluable to any contractor, but it is difficult to obtain and in most cases restricted to intellectual property.
