TRADITIONAL CONTRACTING

Traditional contracting represents a substantial proportion of our workload and although tendering procedure and contract conditions vary in order to reflect risk allocation, Limen Construction always endeavours to provide competitive bids for work confident that through our management principles we can focus on balancing the eternal triangle of time, cost and quality

Limen Construction has been fortunate to have been involved in numerous projects that have presented challenges whereby one side of the eternal triangle presented an obvious bias

TIME

The fast track construction (from steel frame) and fit out of a 5200sq ft, two storey office building serving a new storage warehouse at Kemsley Paper Mill in 14 weeks from receipt of order, including a two week mobilization period

COST

The replacement of domestic kitchens to the 'Decent Homes Standard' for Warden Housing Association was undertaken as a pilot scheme in order to benchmark future partnering contracts
The financial parameters of the scheme were to reduce exit costs by 10% compared to existing contract rates
We achieved this by working in collaboration with the client using structured discounted rates from the NHF Schedule, and joint negotiation with suppliers and accredited subcontractors based on continuity of work. On site the scheme was carefully managed using detailed short term programmes and procurement surveys compiled in conjunction with tenant liaison

QUALITY

The refurbishment of the Officers' Mess at Brompton Barracks

A Grade 2 Listed Building, refurbished sympathetically through close liaison with the client and user, and with skilled craftsmanship.

The internals of this listed building were completely stripped back due to dry rot being present. The oak panelling had to be removed and the existing plaster carefully chipped away to allow the lead work to dry out. When all dry rot was removed, the oak panelling was reinstated and sympathetic curved plastering done to comply with the listed status.
