When you have been awarded the contract, what are the main points and keys to deliver your services to achieve the clients’ requirements and to fit in their time scale that has been given? There are a few things that we follow and encourage. and we would like to expand on a few of them:
KNOW THE JOB IN AND OUT. This simply means, we must know each and every detail related to us. All the specifications, builds ups, logistics, time scales, works programme etc must be understood fully. There can not be any questions that have not been answered! ✅
SPEAK TO YOUR EMPLOYEES. By this, we always speak to our guys before commencing any work to ensure they fully understand what is being asked to do and how it is supposed to be carried out. We also highly encourage any feedback and suggestions from our guys as they always have good ideas which we can implement. We do not start any work until everyone on our teams knows their role fully and the best and safest way to carry out the task. ✅
CHECK FOR UPDATES. As we know, things in construction can change daily. We regularly check for any updates such as if the drawings have been updated, are we following the most up to date specifications, or is there something that we need to have a look at? Are there any changes that might require to re-price an element of works? This is highly important in regards to meeting your target, doing things right the first time and delivering the best quality product. ✅
DOCUMENT YOUR WORKS. The simplest meaning of this is to carry out your pre and post Q&A checks, having them signed by the main contractor representative as well to ensure that not only ourselves are aware of how things were done and completed but also the main contractor is fully aware of each element/sequence of works. We also highly encourage our managers and supervisors to take photographs of works to have proof of how works were carried out. Once again, by doing these little things we ensure we can deliver right and we can deliver on time. ✅
There are many other things that need to be taken into consideration to deliver your works, but we will talk about them next time.
At LMA, we always thrive at delivering our product right the first time as well as achieving the best quality within the time frame agreed with the main contractor or the client. 👏🏻
