Our Services
Scope of Works
In construction, the ‘scope of works’ is the list of construction obligations, as well as activities that all contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers are obligated to carry out.
SMDT will create a bespoke scope of works for your project, ensuring that all specified products and work processes are followed, quoted, and included.
Product Selection
Drawing on our extensive knowledge of construction materials and industry standards, we will provide independent, non-biased product selection advise.
These recommendations will be tailored to your specific needs and budget, ensuring you get the optimal solution for your project.

Tenders and Quotations
At SMDT we will tender and source the most competitive quotation using vetted approved contractors to deliver projects to the allocated budget.
Tendering in the construction industry is the process of requesting and receiving a price for a specific scope of work. The tendering process helps ensure true competition based on the same selection criteria.
Estimating & Takeoffs
A construction estimate is used to forecast how much it will cost to build the structure in your project plan.
Understandably, this is one of the most important steps taken at the early stages of any construction project management process. SMDT will help you identify and quantify materials required to carry out your project.
Budgeting
By creating a budget, we will be able to identify the specific priorities for your project. This will help us make key design decisions and ensure that the construction project is completed efficiently.
Early engagement is key. SMDT will supply accurate material and installation costs, ensuring you have a clear guide for budget management. In instances where a project may be over budget, our product selection knowledge and practical experience could help value engineer a scheme to bring it back within the financial parameters.
Client Liaison
Project management can be difficult when multiple parties are involved throughout the process.
SMDT will act as a client liaison, helping facilitate clear communication between two or more parties, and guiding the project to a smooth and successful completion.
Condition Surveys
Before embarking on any construction project, it's crucial to understand the existing landscape. That's where condition surveys come in. We carry out thorough examinations of buildings and infrastructure, offering a clear picture of their current state.
These in-depth assessments, conducted by qualified professionals, assess everything from structural integrity and functionality to material wear and tear and potential hazards. The information gleaned is invaluable, enabling you to:
-
Plan informed renovations and repairs: Precisely allocate resources and prioritise needs based on actual conditions.
-
Anticipate and avoid costly surprises: Uncover hidden issues before they derail your project, saving time and money.
-
Ensure safety and compliance: Identify potential health and safety risks, and guarantee adherence to building regulations.
-
Optimise investment decisions: Make informed choices about whether to renovate, repurpose, or even demolish a structure.
