Construction Superintendent

We hold licences and qualifications in construction management, project management, contract administration, law, construction and carpentry which enables us to provide unparalleled expertise from a project management consultant to ensure each development is constructed to an exceptionally high standard with an appropriate contract. Without an experienced Superintendent, the developer and project are exposed to unnecessary construction risk and contract disputes.

We hold a carpentry license and also an open builder site supervisor licence and so have the knowledge and experience to identify construction issues during the design phase as well as on site during construction. This reduces projects costs involved in costly defects, re-work and rectification.

As the Superintendent, we administer the construction contract on behalf of the Principal and Contractor to ensure a smooth delivery process and mitigate risk and disputes.

We review progress claims, requests for information, issue directions and certify payments. Additionally, throughout the project, we will continually review build quality and progress to minimise undesirable outcomes.
