Building Contract Review Program

The purpose of the BCRP is to provide an independent review of the Builder’s preparation to contract a Project and their competency to manage the completion of the Project to acceptable industry standards. The BCRP is designed to test the competence of the Builder to price and manage a Project and not compliance with building standards.

The BCRP requires Builders to participate in a program where certain builder competencies for the relative scale of a Project are reviewed. Where appropriate, action to improve Builder competencies and to support the completion of the Project are reviewed including:

• Review contract documents for a project to ensure that you provide a detailed budget that includes a gross margin that is reasonable for the project type, size, value and other project requirements
• Determine a schedule of performance reviews, including site inspections, to ensure your supervision and contract administration is appropriate
• Make sure the project is running to budget and contracted completion date
• Undertake reviews and report on the progress or development of your competence relating to specific areas that have been reviewed. We provide you with a written report.
• Review proposed contract terms including scheduled progress payments;
• Review project construction schedule;
• Guide and advise on Builder’s capability of managing the project in accordance with the construction schedule, contract and budget; and
• Builder’s supervision and quality control over the building work.

Project Managers & Co. services are provided at a fixed rate of $141 per hour.
Final costing being based on the particulars of the project (contract value, location, duration, complexity, and number of project involvement etc...)
