At Diamond Bridge Construction, we believe that the success of any project commences with understanding individual strengths and the formation of a compatible, committed and well resourced construction team that understands the re- quirements and anticipated outcomes. Consideration is also given to the construction team’s ability to function collabora- tively within the Project Control Group.
We have formalized many management processes into our quality assurance systems in order to better integrate and transfer information between disciplines and groups. The management processes commence with understanding the works, the achievable timeframes and the conditions under which the works are performed.
To achieve this we perform the following activities prior to commencing with the tender preparation:
- Site Inspection Report
- Site Dilapidation Report
- Formal review of the documentation with our estimating and construction staff
- Preparation of a tender program to ensure that the process is tracked and the anticipated deadlines are managed.
- Construction program is prepared by the construction team to fully comprehend the time frames, critical activities and their interrelationships.
Once the works are procured through tender or negotiation we immediately undertake a thorough risk analysis and pre- pare a comprehensive construction program, detailed scopes of works are agreed and letting of contracts commences ac- cording to the critical path and risk requirements. We ensure that our site manager has the opportunity to influence the
letting process to sub contract and supply contractors to enable him to structure a harmonious and effective team. Our Site Manager provides input and scrutiny into the sub contract scopes of work to ensure that he is fully briefed on the works to be performed by the various sub-contractors. Weekly internal and sub-contract meetings are held where updated programs are distributed, time frames are discussed, problems resolved and an appreciation for the following trades is communicat- ed. At this meeting Health and Safety, Environmental and Quality matters are also discussed and put in minutes.
