The success of an infrastructure project depends on a sustainable procurement strategy for the owner. In infrastructure works, this involves reconciling various seemingly conflicting objectives, such as lowest cost, price stability, shortest construction time and necessary quality.
In order to realise a sustainable work, the social and environmental consequences of a project must be considered, like its cost over its life cycle cost, but also the constraints imposed by the owner‘s situation.
The structure of the contracts required to realise the works reflects the organisation and consideration of risks and chances of the owner. The contracts define the collaboration between the various actors, the distribution of risks, and, ideally, a guideline for managing the unexpected.
We help owners in the definition of their implementation strategies, and all parties, in the preparation of effective contracts.
