The employer's agent provides a single point of responsibility for the management and implementation of contractual processes throughout the planning, construction and post-completion periods.
The appointment of an employer's agent provides unity and clarity to projects by separating the roles of administration and design. This then allows designers to be released into a purely dedicated design role which in turn facilitates the co-ordinated release of information, instructions and advice at various points, and enables clearer decision making.
A major facet of the employer's agent role is the management of all contractual administration requirements. Clear and unified administration provides numerous benefits to the running of the project, including: independent procedural management; consistent control of key issues; efficient release and flow of information; timely response to construction requirements; and the mitigation of delays to project information.
The full scope of our employer's agent service includes:-
- dedicated resource (off-site/on-site)
- client representation and chairing of key meetings
- advice on contingency and avoiding disputes
- management of quality, cost and time
- regular management reporting
- identifying key project issues to client
