Specification and Build

Quality of Work – Within the specifications, Atomic Build ensures the quality of the completed work fulfills the client’s requirements. Our planning, design, and construction services follow authorities’ relevant standards, such as British Standards and Codes of Practice.

Economic Parameters – When writing the specifications, Atomic Build discusses the appropriate economic parameters with the clients, including details such as cost profile and life cycle costs of the building or project. The discussion includes selecting materials and construction methods within the cost limits.

Contractor Responsibilities – All contractors, including outsourced workers, fully understand their responsibilities. They know who they’ll be accountable to and what penalties for not keeping up with the proposed schedule and guidelines.

On and Off-Site Management and Supervision – Those supervising work on-site have clear criteria to apply. Atomic Build provides all necessary management and supervision, from Pre-Construction Health & Safety PLan, Standard Health & Safety (HSE) provisions to Contract Design Management (CDM) procedures. Atomic Build will inform clients of the Person in Charge of the site management and administration for the project works.

Laws and Regulations – Atomic Build respects the law. All works and services strictly follow the rules, regulations, and provisions relevant to the project or development.
