The YCW contract is in two variants. The “General Contractor” form is intended to entrust a prime contractor with the mandate to carry out intermediate work. The “Specialist” version is appropriate when an employer or contractor intends to use a consultant or subcontractor. The agreement covers the period from the submission of tenders for the first phase to the submission of a final tender for the second phase and the conclusion of a main contract for the construction phase. However, if the pre-registration contract includes more than one land report, for example.B. design or specification work, obtaining permits or other construction work, it is a construction contract. The contractor designated under the CAAP is not necessarily designated for the phase two construction contract. If most of the packages are priced, the contractor will submit its second stage offer and the employer will decide whether or not to accept it and conclude a flat-rate contract for all the work. Increasingly, cost security will be critical in determining whether a development will get the green light. The credit crisis means that employers and construction developers will be subject to a more in-depth examination of construction risks, knowing that cost overruns can no longer be offset by the increase in the value of building land.
The involvement of the contractor in the pre-construction phase is valuable and often essential for the final design process of a project as well as for the preparation of the construction phase, such as the program, cost plans, constructability and any technical purchase. At Bluestone Construction, we offer a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PSA) that includes drawings, specifications, allocations and budget to be integrated into the architecture and design of the house. While PPE is less used, Bluestone owner Kevin Reed says, “I really believe this is the right way to choose a client.” At Bluestone Construction, we pride ourselves on offering fantastic service before, during and after their construction. If we enter into the Preconstruction Services Agreement (PSA) with you, we offer you an experience of cost, value and construction time to help you make informed design decisions and achieve your goals. We also use it as an inexpensive way to start our relationship with you and make sure we adapt well. If you have any questions about PSA or our working method, please visit our process page or contact us directly. PCS are often used in design and construction projects in order to obtain early contributions from the contractor. They can also be used to obtain advances of work from specialists appointed either by the contractor or by the client (e.g. B under a construction management contract), either for private finance initiative (PFI) or public-private partnership (PPP) projects to obtain contributions from contractors for a consortium applying for a project. One of the concerns employers have with the pre-construction period is the potential leverage of the preferred contractor to increase the contract amount or renegotiate the conditions for performing the work….
