How we successfully delivered the project

We undertook ECI with all stakeholders and developed a concise strategy to deliver the scheme on time and within budget. We also engaged 
with the Chief Engineer to contribute with the design of the scheme.

Our upfront engagement enabled the project team to manage the risks and opportunities associated and introduce low carbon products.

We implemented our 4 levels of project planning and compiled detailed safe systems of works to ensure the programme dates could be achieved in line with client requirements and commercial constraints of the contract. Weekly collaborative production meetings were undertaken to ensure that the end user, client and our direct teams understood their roles and responsibilities.

Our experienced local team used our Procore project management software to automate many of the contract and workflow processes, supporting transparency and collaboration with the client, project team and designers.
