Employers agent
In construction, under a design and build contract an employer’s agent is appointed by you, the client, to represent you and your interests pre and post contract.
The experienced team at Henderson & Partners can take on this role on your behalf.
Most of the responsibilities of an employer’s agent will begin after a construction contract is awarded. However, we may also carry out tasks on our client’s behalf before the contract is awarded and will provide input on processes and procedures that will be incorporated within the contract.
Why do you need an employers agent?
An Employer’s Agent (EA) for two key reasons:
To manage the delivery of a project, ensuring that all actions described in the project’s appointment documents and contract are successfully addressed and completed. These duties include the receipt and issue of applications, consents, instructions, notices, requests or statements.
To act as a construction professional and advise the client by drawing on this industry knowledge providing a balanced and unbiased view.
By employing Henderson & Partners as your employers agent you can prevent disputes and legal complications from arising during the post contract phase of works.
