Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we can. The key to successful collaboration is a clear understanding of your goals and agreeing simple and effective methods of achieving those goals. At IPS “our” primary goal is working with occupiers that have multiple assets or projects and where we can add real value, we have the experience and knowledge to work with you maximising benefits for you. The value of your custom means that we will invest our time and resource collaborating for your benefit.

Open book procurement fosters transparency by allowing clients full visibility of project costs, including materials, labour, and overheads. This method promotes trust, ensures cost control, and provides the opportunity to identify savings. It also encourages collaboration, as both parties work together to find the best value for the project.

The contractor is typically best placed to deliver best value, thanks to their extensive industry knowledge, supplier relationships, and experience in procurement. However, when working collaboratively with the client, both parties can align on budget priorities and value-driven decisions, ensuring the project meets its objectives in both quality and cost.

Common waste factors include inefficient material use, time delays, over-ordering, and poor planning. To avoid these, focus on detailed project planning, accurate material take-offs, and lean construction practices. Regular site audits, waste reduction strategies, and careful resource management also help minimise waste and reduce costs.

Fixed price procurement offers certainty by establishing a set budget for the entire project - it minimises the risk of cost overruns, providing peace of mind to the client. However, while it ensures predictability, there’s less flexibility to adapt to changes or unforeseen issues during the build. This method is ideal for well-defined projects where scope and requirements are unlikely to change.

You’ve made the right choice if your contractor has a proven track record of successful projects, clear communication, transparent pricing, and a commitment to quality. Look for a team that listens to your needs, offers solutions tailored to your project, and maintains strong safety and compliance standards. Positive testimonials and a detailed project plan also signal you’ve partnered with the right firm.
