go2wo Project Services offers government organisations a range of professional services that are aimed at ensuring projects are completed on time, on budget and in compliance with project requirements. Our systems approach ensures that nothing gets overlooked from concept through to completion.

THE STEPS WE TAKE

The services we can provide government clients are tailored to meeting strict public requirements and accountability.

Step One: Requirements and Design

• Meet with the client to define the concept in generic terms.
• Undertake a thorough analysis of requirements to ensure the client's needs are comprehensively understood and summarised in a professionally prepared Design Brief.
• Oversee the preparation of design sketches to satisfy the Design Brief.
• Discuss the sketches and proposed inclusions, to the client's satisfaction, ready for documentation.
• Coordinate consultants (engineering, surveying, soil testing, sustainability, etc) as required for the project.
• Prepare a construction budget and detailed project schedule.

Step Two: Approvals and Tendering

• Oversee the preparation of architectural drawings and schedules, including basic finishes and materials, full dimensions and notes.
• Prepare a detailed specification for both council submission and tendering.
• Coordinate specialist services with consultants required on the project.
• 'Carry' the plans though the local approval process.
• Oversee the preparation of documentation suitable for construction, including details of bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, electrical and lighting layouts, and landscaping.
• Call for competitive tenders from appropriately qualified and experienced builders, field queries during the tender process, and receive tenders.
• Report on the tenders received and advise on the choice of a builder.
• Assist in the negotiation of a Building Contract on behalf of the client.

Step Three: Contract Administration

• Throughout the duration of the construction, undertake regular site visits and formal meetings with the builder and designer, acting as the client’s agent in administering the contract to ensure strict adherence to the Contract.
• Maintain a comprehensive web site showing progress of construction.
• Administer builder's progress claims for work completed to ensure that payment by the client is made only for work that is complete.
• Issue and process site instructions, variations, extension-of-time claims, and all other paperwork associated with the Contract.
• Call for Practical Completion at the end of the project and administer the 6-month defects liability period.
