I would then build in any foreseen risk via a monetary value into the overall cost to complete. I would be the stakeholder to subcontract partnering alliance, agreeing a final ITc cost with the subcontracting alliance; I would quantify the risks, such as environmental conditions, public relations, and council planning into the final cost to complete. I would attend meeting on behalf of the Client including kick off monthly progress meeting, a quarterly design value engineering meeting were I would look to drive down the overall costs. I controlled all payments to the Partnering Alliance and the Engineering Design Consultants. I would report the risks and costs up to the Area Asset Delivery Manager on a monthly basis.
