PRACTICE

AREAS

International Materials Procurement

Jacques & Co. have extensive experience in the area of direct international materials procurement and buying on behalf of clients and contractors.
Quantification, purchase, handling, shipping, sound delivery and site control of ‘high end materials’ is one of the most challenging areas to deal with regionally.
Jacques & Co. offer full procurement service and advice working closely with suppliers in the Caribbean, US, Europe and Indonesia.

Quantity Surveying & Cost Management Services

Many of the most critical decisions relating to the development of a project are made at the early stages, when only limited information is available. For maximum effectiveness, we recommend our involvement from the very beginning of the development process. Independent expertise applied up front helps clients to understand the costs involved in projects and the contractual implications of decisions before they are made. Jacques & Co. brings a wide range of skills and talent to the relationship, allowing clients to gain a thorough understanding of what may be required every step of the way. The savings in terms of cost, time and other resources will be substantial.
