The Contractor Portal is designed as a repository of technical or specialist information for contractors and third parties undertaking work for Imperial's Property Division. Staff and students can return to our homepage to learn more about our general services.

We maintain consistent specifications for components and materials used in construction and renovation projects.

These specifications have been appraised to be technically compliant and compatible with Imperial's requirements and current technical policies.

Nonetheless, on a project-by-project basis, each specification should still be filtered through a design verification exercise to ensure that their application is appropriate.
