Shared. Risk. Solutions.

Consultancy Solutions to the Construction & Civil Engineering Market

48%

Construction Adjudications are caused by a lack of Competence of project participants

Is this the expected standard?

The complete absence of shared professional risk in recruitment contracts in a high-demand/ low-supply market leads to a lack of accountability and margin erosion. Magnus bridges this gap.

Who are Magnus?

Managing Risk Together

Risk management and mitigation is at the forefront of Project and Business leaders in Construction.

Yet, premium-price recruitment products offer no consequence in failure.  There are lots of options – but no choice.

Magnus does.  Embracing risk where others run Magnus offers two core products:

  • Time Charge: Professional Service Contracts under defined scope with errors, omissions and defects as standard.
  • Price & Deliverables.  Output-defined contracts based on client programme, scope items and necessary documentation to meet the main-contract specification.

“A party to a dispute, particularly if there is arbitration, will learn three lessons (often too late) the Importance of Records, The Importance of Records, The Importance of Records”

Max Abrahamson, Engineering Law and The ICE Contract

Delivering Competency

Collaboration & Liability

Define the Scope.  Agree the Measure.  Agree Liabilities.  Agree Price

Record the Measure.

Records and performance standard are time-stamped,  geo-located and  measured on weekly basis within Magnus Quality Management System; to enable smooth month-end payment assessment.

Expertise & Outsource

Fusing over 30 years of Contract-hire experience with trusted Consultants Magnus can offer outsourced price-based solutions on fixed lump sum or remeasure.  Relinquishing control and allowing Magnus full selection autonomy; risk-allocation is outsourced further still opening up a market-space beyond the reach of recruitment procurement channels.
