Programme Management
As a partner contractor for Salix high rise works, we were involved in the project from an early stage, providing programme durations and budget costs to support their funding application for the Ground Source Heat Pumps. Therefore, our approach to programme management was robust and well developed. As a result of this and our monthly progress meetings held with the client, we were able to meet our agreed milestone dates.
Managing specialist work packages
Liaison with M & E and Communications bodies regarding temporary and permanent relocation of plant and equipment on roof of both blocks.
Build a safer future charter
This scheme was procured as a direct result of the Grenfell tragedy due to similar cladding materials present. We worked collaboratively with Salix, and together we were early adopters that assisted the implementation of the development of the ‘Building a Safer Future’ Charter.
