Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear Mike,

Since we are concerned with Construction. How can we help you in this task. We can give you all the relevent information regarding the handing over of a Construction Company.

We can negotiate the ideas, and depending on its size, the detail will differ.

Basically, for a construction company, you have the Overheads and the Projects. You can ask for the following:

Projects:
1. List of completed projects ever taken by the company; copy of contracts, settlement agreement.
2. List of running project, status, client paid invoices, and copy of latest correspondance.
3. List of projects to come: quotations submitted to client, and the date of expiry of quotations.

Financial
1. List of all financial summary statements for all the projects listed above.
2. List of outstanding invoices; Projects, Overheads
3. List of invoices to be made monthly

With the Law:
1. Cases against and with client, suppliers, employees, and others.

Overheads
1. Salaries; paid, unpaid, yet to be paid
2. Equipment
3. Rents
4. Stored Material
5. Assets
6. Branches
7. Vehicles

IT
1. Back up documents of all data
2. Licensed software
3. List of equipment
4. In house developed systems to be maintained

Purchasing
1. List of orders to arrive
2. List of orders that must be purchased
3. List of un closed orders.

Management Systems
1. ISO System
2. LEED system
3. SIX Sigma System

I hope that this list is kind of what you are looking for.

With kind regards,

Samer
