Employer’s Agent

On design-and-build contracts the client needs a single trusted professional to safeguard their interests – the employer’s agent. Our surveyors act as employer’s agent on residential and commercial developments, managing the contract and the contractor on your behalf from inception to handover.

Our role as your agent

• Preparing and issuing the employer’s requirements
• Running the tender and advising on the contractor’s proposals
• Administering the design-and-build contract
• Certifying payments, monitoring progress and managing handover

A single point of accountability

As employer’s agent we represent you, not the contractor, giving you independent oversight of cost, programme and quality. This is particularly valuable on developments where the contractor carries the design risk.
