GSE Design and Build

The project manager is the link between all the various people involved in the project from design through to completion.

• He surveys the design and build phases
• He takes care of consultation documents
• He selects the companies who will work on the project
• He coordinates the works on site
• He adjudicates in the decision making process
• He is responsible for the handover of the building
• He takes care of after sales

He is the sole point of contact between all those involved in the project.

You enter into consultation with the project manager.

A technical dossier clearly defines the required levels of performance. The relevant parts of the contract are annexed to the consultation dossier.

During the consultation period, the project manager responds to your questions and validates your bids. The most competitive tenders are analysed during the course of meetings with the project engineer.

As a result of this, the project manager and the firm which has been retained sign a contract.
The project manager alone will make these choices on behalf of GSE.
