Project acquisition and method of execution
Albo Aruba N.V. works with local as well as foreign clients. Consequently the company is dealing with a great number of methods of execution, tender and project acquisition. Roughly, they may be divided into:

• Dutch regulations
• U.S. regulations

In practice, this means that the employees regularly have to switch completely when going from one project to another. They have to deal with:

• the metric system and the imperial system
• the so-called "U.A.V./U.A.R." Contracts [local Dutch regulations], U.S. Contracts and international contracts

As a result, Albo Aruba N.V. has gained wide experience in the field of construction regulations and methods of tender together with the corresponding contracts, such as:

• Agreement between Owner, Architect and Contractor or Subcontractor
  In case of this form of contract, Albo Aruba N.V. bears the responsibility for the work described in the design and the accompanying descriptions, provided by the architect.
   

• Agreement between Owner, Architect and General Contractor
  Under such an agreement, Albo Aruba N.V. bears the responsibility for the entire project as described in the design and the accompanying descriptions, provided by the architect.
   

• Agreement between Owner and Design/Builder
  Under this agreement, Albo Aruba N.V. is responsible for both the design and the execution, based on the maximum budget provided.

The following possibilities exist within the frame work of project acquisition:

• Public tenders;
• Public tenders on invitation;
• Public tenders after prequalification;
• Pricing based on a completely open budget;
• Pricing in teamwork with a maximum budget;
• Pricing based on fixed price standards and quantities yet to be determined;
• Pricing based on time and materials.
• Pricing based on design and build

Aforementioned project acquisition may be done by Albo Aruba N.V. independently or in a joint venture. In the past, various projects have been executed in joint venture with large contractors from Europe or North America. This to the complete satisfaction of the clients.
