Capabilities

A single party takes responsibility for design, procurement and construction, so the owner deals with the fewest interfaces. It suits projects with heavy discipline overlap, tight programmes, or a client without an in-house project team.

The value is a clear responsibility boundary: design and construction sit with the same team, so buildability is resolved while drawings can still change, not through site variations.

The overall scheme is already fixed and only one discipline needs an execution team. Common for MEP installation, cleanrooms, fire protection and photovoltaic systems.

The subcontractor must bring both technical capability and measured verification — and work within the main contractor's programme and quality system.

Between general contracting and subcontracting: we develop the design and build it, while the client keeps decision authority over the scheme. It suits projects that have a concept but not construction-level drawings.

Coming in at the detailing stage lets equipment selection, services coordination and maintenance access be resolved before they become site variations.

Continuing service after handover: equipment inspection, fault response, efficiency optimisation and spare-parts management. Suited to plants, data centres and healthcare facilities where downtime is expensive.

Contracts are annual and measured against response time, availability and energy targets.

Three tests: how many disciplines overlap, how much project management the client can commit, and how settled the requirements are. More overlap, less client capacity and a firmer brief point to general contracting; otherwise subcontracting stays more flexible.

It is worth settling the preferred model during the first conversation — it drives the pricing basis, contract structure and payment terms. Our project managers will walk through it with you.
