We have experience in Uganda, supervising many different forms of construction schemes using many forms of the construction contract. The type of schemes supervised includes road and highway schemes, structural and building civil schemes, and power supply involving high voltage lines and cables with the respective substations.
Our supervision experience extends to the supervision of maintenance of the different infrastructures using many forms of contract including performance specifications.
We also act as the lender’s technical advisor for PPP schemes using performance-based contracts where we monitor the contractor’s construction and maintenance activities to ensure that the lender’s investment is protected by the contractor following the contract requirements.
For each project, we prepare a Construction Supervision Plan which ensures that our approach to the supervision of the Works is tailored to the specifics of the project, the strengths, and weaknesses of the selected contractor undertaking the Works, the risks in the project, and the key elements of the Works where a maintenance liability may arise in the future if not constructed properly.
Strong administration of a Contract is an important element of supervision, ensuring that a construction project is delivered efficiently minimizing time over-runs and claims. This includes ensuring that all necessary elements like insurance are in place before Commencement, notices are given and received promptly in line with the requirements of the Contract and that issues arising during the Works are promptly dealt with.
