Pre Contract Services

The pre-construction process is vital to the success of any project. Working as part of your team, we offer a complete solution in relation to timescales, quality and cost. Every client and project is unique and we adapt our services for each accordingly.

Our commercial experience ranges from Rail, Aviation, Civils, Residential, Entertainment and Hotel industries (public and private sector), with majority being from a main and subcontractor position. With a firm belief in a practical and technical world our staff can fully integrate with any Engineering and or Commercial teams in order to achieve our client’s objectives.

Optioneering, Cost Planning and Budget Validation

All projects initially begin with a concept of what is required with subsequent optioneering via feasibility studies and design development evolving this initial idea.

However, prior to procurement alternatives being considered it is critical that proper cost planning and budget validation are undertaken to ensure the desired scheme is affordable and Adeo’s professionals can aid you in this process.

Our Estimators will evaluate the various possibilities under consideration at this inaugural Optioneering Stage via take offs and Bills of Approximate Quantities. This ensures projects are financially viable prior to Clients proceeding with their preferred option in adherence to budgetary constraints.

Tender Procurement Services

Early engagement allows us to enhance your project success by organising your Procurement Packages to distribute risk between Client and Contractor, accordingly, ensuring that any design gaps are covered.

Our Tender Management experience and guiding support allows you to secure the optimum supply chain providers, having due regard for both quality and price, thus enhancing the overall probability of a successful project.

Our clientele include subcontractors, main contractors, Engineering consultants, developers and private clients. Our services cover projects ranging from £100k to £50+m.

Programme, Planning and Risk Management

In addition to our core activity of Commercial Support, Adeo also provides skilled staff on the Operational Side of the Construction Industry such as Planners and Risk Managers.

While we can provide these services to you throughout the lifecycle of any project, it is highly beneficial to utilise Adeo’s experts during the Pre-Contract Stage of any scheme to enable programme durations and risk allocation to be optimised.

For example, under the NEC Suite of Contracts a well-planned Clause 31 Programme is fundamental to the success of any project by ensuring that only genuine ‘unknowns’ are included in the subsequent Clause 32 Programmes as opposed to issues which could really have been identified and dealt with at Tender Stage.
