Quantity surveying services that achieve results
Client need
MMB is one of several contractors responsible for delivering Yorkshire Water’s AMP6 capital investment program. During AMP6 MMB was contracted to deliver over 180 projects, 80 of which were not completed, with commercial completion and final payment certification not yet achieved.
The contracts were a mix of NEC3 ECC Option A, D, and C, with approximately 40 of the contracts being NEC3 ECC Option D. The latter required completion of a remeasure of the final bill of quantities. For these reasons, MMB engaged CappKind’s quantity surveying services to drive close-out of the open contracts. Necessarily, this required identifying outstanding contractual actions such as certification of Completion, Defects certification, and assessing open compensation events.
