The early 1990's saw Johnstons, Chartered Quantity Surveyors successfully introducing our Employer's Agent role to administer the increasing number of Design and Build Contracts.

With Johnstons, Chartered Quantity Surveyors acting as your Employer's Agent/Client Representative, we can ensure that your investment is protected and all your needs are met in terms of cost, specification performance and safety.

In preparing to safeguard your investment initially Johnstons will prepare a set of Employer's Requirements which clearly set down your needs in terms of accommodation, standards of materials and workmanship, payment procedures and contractual matters. By doing so Johnstons eliminate risk and provides a benchmark against which different tenders can be assessed and compared, enabling you to confidently select the most economically advantageous tender.

The most straightforward of schemes are often subject to change as site work progresses and Johnstons will monitor any price adjustments or stage payments and will manage the day to day liaison with the contractor.

Johnstons undertake to ensure that each project is expertly managed to fulfil all our clients' needs at the most cost effective price.
