Overview
Challenge
The Nyinkka-Nyunyu project faced multiple complexities, including working safely around existing in-ground services, navigating inconsistent documentation, and managing tight, shifting timelines with multiple trades. Coordinating subcontractors on-site added further scheduling and safety risks, especially in a remote location.
What we faced:
Working Safely Around Existing Services: Refurbishments projects often require working around existing in-ground services such as water and power, where any disturbance could cause costly damage or service interruptions.
Documentation Inconsistencies: Occasionally, documentation provided at project commencement may contain inconsistencies creating challenges for accurate planning and installation.
Navigating Subcontracting: Subcontracting to builders often means adapting to tight and shifting timelines, coordinating with multiple trades, and managing dependencies that can delay progress.
On-Site Coordination: Coordinating multiple trades on-site can lead to scheduling conflicts, delays, and safety risks, especially in complex or remote projects.
Solution
What we delivered?
We overcame these challenges through detailed site investigations, thorough documentation reviews, and proactive communication with all stakeholders. By implementing structured schedules, regular coordination meetings, and flexible team management, we ensured safe, efficient delivery without service disruptions or quality compromises.
Protection Through Planning: We use detailed site investigations, service locating, and appropriate work methodology to protect existing infrastructure, ensuring upgrades are completed safely without disrupting essential services.
Early Project Planning: We review all documentation thoroughly before works begin and communicate promptly with the client to clarify details. This ensures alignment and smooth project delivery with minimal disruption or rework.
Proactive Collaboration: We maintain open communication, attend site meetings, and align schedules early. Our flexible team structure allows us to adjust quickly, meeting builder deadlines without compromising quality or safety.
Smart Project Management: We implemented clear work schedules, regular coordination meetings, and on-site supervision to ensure all trades worked efficiently, safely, and collaboratively, keeping the project on track.
