Contract Engagement
How a project is contracted can impact its success. Misaligned engagement models often contribute to budget blowouts, delays, and project failures.
We break down the barriers of traditional customer-contractor relationships.
Our company values reputation and quality, combined with flexible and transparent contract options, and supports project success.
Our Contract Approach Includes:
- Valid Pricing and Scope Clarification in pricing: Provide pricing for the scope of work considering how the work will be done. We fill in gaps or clarify ambiguities in the project scope to minimise cost or schedule impacts.
- Itemised Pricing: We generate itemised pricing for all work that has a defined scope. This confirms with our customers that we have a clear understanding of the scope and provides details of how much time we allow for these tasks.
- Avoiding Variations: We seek and plan to avoid variations for the priced scope.
- Outcome based job processes: These focus on delivering the scope and our systems avoid putting pressure on staff on a cost to do the work.
- Team Management: Our strong matrix management structure using teams means we can add resources efficiently. Adding a customer to the team is a natural event.
- Contract Alternatives: We offer various contract alternatives to limit budget risk exposure and create win/win outcomes (hourly hire, tendered fixed price, negotiated fixed price, capped/performance-based contracts). In some cases, jobs may mix contract approaches to balance risks effectively.
Value for our Customers:

Having itemised pricing makes it simpler to identify changes in scope and costs associated with any deletion or addition to the scope.
-
Our contact alternatives acknowledge the risks to budgets, as well as the potential saving through efficient collaboration.
-
We seek to make our customer personnel’s job easier in our dealings.

We accept responsibility for our work and focus on quality end results.
