Architects
Working with architects
A contractor that understands the design process, prices it properly and builds what was drawn.
Principles
Working alongside the design team
01
Early engagement
Involvement from early design stages so cost and buildability inform the design, not just the price.
02
Buildability and cost input
Practical input on construction method, sequencing and cost before details are fixed.
03
RIBA stage aware
We work to where the scheme is in the RIBA Plan of Work, from concept through technical design to construction.
04
Drawings and specifications to price
Send drawings and specifications at any stage and receive a structured, itemised price.
05
RFIs and design query log
Queries raised formally as RFIs and tracked in a design query log until closed.
06
Drawing register
A drawing register with revision control, so the site always builds from the current issue.
07
Contractor's design portions
Contractor's design portions agreed and defined in writing at tender.
08
JCT contracts
Experience of JCT Minor Works, Intermediate and Design and Build forms.
09
Traditional or design and build
Traditional procurement with the design team retained, or design and build with Wentways taking design responsibility.
10
CDM
We work from the pre construction information and prepare a construction phase plan for the works.
11
Adapted and accessible homes
Experience of schemes adapted for accessible living.
12
Respect for the design
The architect is kept informed through construction and changes go through the agreed route.
