Main consultant is not experienced with contract management. The construction contract is poorly written or ambiguous, leading to variations, time extensions and disputes.
Common Problems
Communication and co-ordination between consultants is poor. Consultants focus on their speciality and no-one is ensuring consistency between the various disciplines.
Planners tasked with resource consents do not understand the practical consequences of what they agree to, resulting in consents being issued which are costly to comply with or unworkable.
Procon uses construction knowledge to ensure contracts are written and scheduled in a clear way that minimises potential for variation claims, program blowouts, or disputes.
Advantages
Procon ensures the work of all consultants is integrated and consistent, reducing costs and minimising delays.
