Building Design

Identification of the various tenders to be announced. Indicatively:

• Design Tender
• Construction and Maintenance Companies Tender
• Supervision of Works (DL) Tender
• Maintenance Tender

Technical support in setting up the tenders by sharing the company’s accumulated experience.

Specifically:

• Design Tender: G&P suggests a tender for RTP/RTI where all design figures can mutually select each other and present a shared project in concept, definition, and mutual responsibilities. It is essential that the various design skills are in perfect harmony
  throughout the design process up to the executive phase.
• Construction Companies Tender: G&P suggests selecting construction companies based on suitability for the most current design and construction techniques and their updated structure concerning cutting-edge skills; the same company will be responsible for maintenance and thus must guarantee an adequate level of service continuously and regularly.
• DL Tender: The Works Supervisor is a client representative. It is suggested that this person not be a member of the design team or the company.
