Selecting a contractor
We will investigate the market for possible
tenderers, prepare a short list, interview and report on the strength
and weaknesses of possible contractors. We can then handle tender
questions, evaluate bids and make recommendations to the client.
Tender documents
With its knowledge of western and Ukrainian
contract procedures, technical matters and practice, we can prepare
tender documents in English and Russian, suitable to serve the
requirements of western or Ukrainian contractors with western or
Ukrainian subcontractors.
Technical supervision
Valuation & certification
As a project proceeds on site a client needs
to pay the contractor fairly for the work properly executed. We assist
by valuing works done after deductions for poor work and retentions to
provide protection for the client should hidden defects arise.
Following valuation we can integrate local accounting practice with
western certification practice to allow appropriate payment to a
contractor.
Project management
We have executed
project management roles on a wide range of projects in Ukraine and
beyond. Projects include: Raiffeisen Bank, Billa supermarket, IMF
offices, BBC monitoring office, Boehringer Ingelheim offices, Baker
& McKenzie offices. On the Radisson Hotel we were not project
managers, but many project management functions were executed
including: chairing project and design meetings and regular drafting
writing letters on behalf of the client.
Jones East 8 as contractor
We have local design and construction
licenses together with over 10 years of construction experience in
Ukraine. Projects are often modestly scaled with the largest project
undertaken being the Raiffeisen 1,600 m2 office and bank building. This
involved demolition behind a historic facade, complete new foundations,
steel frame, in site reinforced concrete, extension to the rear, new
roof and comprehensive office and bank fit out including air
conditioning, data systems, EDP room, raised access floors and vaults.
