Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) Procurement
Roscoe are pioneers in the use of this procurement strategy; where we engage the services of a main contractor under the terms of a pre-construction services agreement.
This way the contractor, along with a pre-selected supply chain is able to work effectively with the design team at an early stage of the development process, to produce the optimum design and build solution.
We have had great success in working in partnership with a number of contractors on various projects, where collectively we have introduced innovative design and construction solutions to improve buildability, reduce cost and reduce risk.
The benefit to the client includes:
- Increased cost certainty and reduced prime cost
- Real time cost planning
- Reduced risk profile
- Real time costs
- Integrated build solutions to improve buildability
- Increased build knowledge
- Real and costed temporary works
- Real and costed construction preliminaries
- Reduced reliance on expensive consultants
- Reduced cost of professional fees
- Industry benchmarked costs
- Improved client decision making
