Information for Contractors
Through this site we intend to provide
access for contractors and suppliers to detailed information on
contract documentation, standard contract documentation and enable
contractors to register for our
projects.
Initially, this website provides details to
assist contractors to understand the structure of projects under
our management.
Working with Signal Management Group
Signal Management Group undertakes projects
using a 'Construction Management' methodology.
This means that there is no 'head
contractor' involved. Each contractor from demolition
and piling to floor coverings and painting is a separate
contractor on the site.
Signal will provide many of the things normally provided by the
head contractor, including:
-
Management of the site and co-ordination of
all contractors
-
Site facilities such as toilets and
temporary power and water
-
On larger projects, a site office with
access to drawings and so on
In tendering for our projects, you should know
the following:
-
If successful your contract will be
directly with the client, not Signal
-
Signal is the project and construction
manager and acts as 'agent' for the client
-
The conditions of contract used are
NZS3910:1998. Signal is the 'Engineer' under this contract
-
Instructions, directions, responses to
queries must not be accepted from anyone other than a Signal
representative
-
Signal will prepare a site-specific safety
plan. You must provide a site-specific hazard management plan.
You must also comply with Signal's safety plan which covers
things such as emergency evacuation and inductions. Signal is
a member of Site Safe New Zealand
and we are committed to safe work sites. So that we can manage
our sites well and attend to any hazards, you must report to
Signal any hazards that arise and any accidents or
near-misses
-
You will be responsible for your own
setting out and clean up
-
You must provide your monthly claim to
Signal by the 3rd day of the month so that it can included in
the client's payment. Failure to do so will mean it cannot
be paid until the following month
-
You will not receive any payment until the
signed contract, evidence of insurance, hazard management plan
and a priced schedule (where applicable) are received
-
Approved as-built drawings and manuals, and
guarantees are required for Practical Completion
-
You are required to provide your own
scaffolding, cranage and parking on site
