Section D: Personnel and Supply Chain
• Q11 - Sub-Contract Provision:
»»
Please provide a projection of what
proportion of the works will be
undertaken by your in-house operatives.
What works would you Sub-Contract?
Please explain how you would procure
Sub-Contractors and evaluate them with
regard to experience and quality.
At RED Construction we are predominantly a
management company who carry in-house expertise
in the form of Construction Managers, M&E
Managers, Design Managers, Quantity Surveyors etc.
We do not employee in-house tradespeople directly
but rely solely upon our Supply Chain Partners to
provide the individual specialist services that we need
to deliver a construction project such as The Queens
Head, Tyron Street.
Subsequently in answer to the first part of the query
raised ‘what portion of the works will be undertaken
by your in-house operatives’, the answer to this will be
0% and inversely the response to the second part of
this query is that 100% of the construction works will
be sub-contract works.
In response to the third query raised concerning our
subcontractor selection process we would confirm
that we only use subcontractors known to the
business who have worked for one or more senior
members of the company. From these contractors we
select at tender stage a suitable list of sub-contractors
tailored to each scheme based on their skills,
experience and training relevant to particular types
of project with respect to design , delivery and health
and safety.
We also perform periodic financial checks on
our supply chain and these are conducted more
frequently for those that are critical to the project.
We are always endeavouring to improve our supply
chain relationships and will remain loyal to those
who return bids for our tenders and deliver a quality
product on site. Only approved contractors are
awarded contracts with RED Construction. Approval
is based on previous experience, references and
submission of written evidence.
All contractors are given a pre-award and a prestart
meeting to ensure all procedures and control
measures are in place. A monthly review meeting is
held on each site and regular meetings are held with
all contractors.
