Contract Administration & Project Management

R S Jones Chartered Building Surveyors offer Contract Administration and Project Management services across Residential, Commercial, and Specialist Defect Projects. Over time, we have developed a large network of contractors and construction specialists, including Architects and Structural Engineers, to ensure the success of your project.  Throughout the project, we will oversee construction standards on-site through regular site visits, monitoring timescales and budgets, and providing regular progress reports to the client. We understand that no two projects are the same and personalise our approach to ensure the correct level of service.

• Preparation of Specifications and the organisation of structural/architectural drawings where appropriate

• Issue tender documents to approved contractors and produce client tender reports
