Contract resource for consultancies

Consultancies I’ve worked with

What you get

• A named person for your team schedule, NZTA accredited Engineer to the Contract Level 1, who stays on the job
• Work in your templates, your document control and your reporting. On SH29 the weekly and monthly reports go to NZTA as Axell’s
• Your client relationship stays yours
• Assessments and decision papers prepared for your Contract Administrator or Engineer to review and sign
• Professional indemnity and public liability cover with NZI, certificates on request

For the tender

On an NZTA professional services tender the named people carry a lot of the score. Key subconsultants are asked for the same evidence as the lead. I can give you a CV and project sheets in whatever format your tender needs, covering the relevant skills, experience and track record, with referees.

Where I’m useful

Most useful where the contract needs someone who can carry the time and money side properly, the variations, extension of time claims, payment claims and cost fluctuation, alongside the day to day Engineer’s Representative work. On SH29 that has meant the float treatment memo the contract uses, the Schedule 17 method and decision papers on the settlement period and a road closure, as well as the reporting and the risk process.

Also where the job needs someone who can read a technical submission and test it. My background includes contractor side site engineering and structural design verification, so a contractor’s independent report or a design change gets checked against the contract and the site, not just passed on.

Availability

I’m a sole practitioner, so capacity is limited and I’ll be straight about it. Tell me the start date and the time commitment and I’ll tell you on the first call whether I can do it properly.
