Decision details
Decision Maker: Assistant Director (Building & Public Realm)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Following completion of the development at
Honeycroft in Lawford, should the main contractor Rose Builders
fold during the guarantee period of the build, collateral
warranties will enable the Council to go to the subcontractors
directly to fulfil the guarantee.
The subcontractors and what they supplied are as follows:
Arcady - Architectural Services
Rossi Long Consulting - Structural and Civil Engineering
Nu-span - Beam and Block Floor
Kingspan Timber Solutions - SIPS Contractor
WMS - Underfloor Heating
Bellhouse P
Decision:
To seal and complete the collateral warranties
with the 8 subcontractors used by Rose Builders for services
supplied in respect of the Honeycroft development in Lawford.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 - to not sign the collateral
warranties - this would put the Council in a difficult position if
the main contractor, Rose Builders, folds during the guarantee
period. It would make it more difficult to claim directly with the
subcontractor in these circumstances.
