Early engagement

With a short lead in period and fast track programme, making best use of the pre-construction period was key. We engaged early with the client’s professional team and our specialist supply chain partners from day one, using a transparent and collaborative one team approach. We implemented a series of design workshops which enabled us to ensure a full understanding of the scheme, effective development of Contractor’s Design Portion items and a fully coordinated detailed design prior to site possession.

Concurrent and occupied works

With the ground floor and level one in occupation and fit out works underway on floors five and six, close coordination and meticulous scheduling was essential for the smooth running of the project. From the start of the project, we built good working relationships with building managers JLL, neighboring tenants and the other contractors on site, developing our logistics and programme in conjunctions with these teams to ensure an aligned approach.

These early relationships were fostered throughout our time on site through regular landlord and concurrent contractor meetings to make sure that all parties were aware of works, access requirements etc. and that any potential issues were discussed early and resolved to the agreement of all parties. Tools such as look ahead schedules, delivery booking forms and lift schedules were used to coordinate our movements around site. Tenants were kept informed of our works and potentially noisy or disruptive works were carried out on an out of hours basis to minimise our impact.
