Services - Our Process

Team Orientation

Required outcomes are established and the projects prime motivators are defined.
Team member’s roles, responsibilities strengths and weaknesses are discussed and addressed.

Design Review

A complete analysis covering cost, build ability, risk construction methodology. Alternative material selections, construction techniques and detailing are evaluated for potential savings and improved time efficiencies. A detailed cost savings schedule is prepared for approval.

Tender Phase

The selection of contractors is undertaken based on depth of experience, performance record, project type familiarity and availability. The resulting list is submitted for approval prior to tendering. Sub-traders are given adequate time to provide accurate pricing to avoid the risk of variations and misunderstandings. The tenders are vetted and a detailed report provided with comparisons provided against the original budget.

Site Establishment

At this stage the master program is developed into a sub network of programs to establish critical dates for design, materials, equipment procurement and manufacture. The project quality and health and safety plans are developed for immediate implementation. The tender package includes a detailed critical path program to ensure all trades are aware of deadlines prior to pricing.

Construction

Co-ordination review meetings with all the trades are scheduled. Day to day co-ordination of all trades is undertaken by the project manager, monitoring progress and quality control. Progress is monitored daily against the master program and sub-program. This pro-active to problem solving and team communication minimises delays and identifies where additional resource is required. Interim inspections at key stages of the project and pre-commissioning testing precede the pre-handover inspection and practical completion process.

Defects Management

The process ensures that defects are rectified prior to the demobilising of sub-trades

Post Contract

A review of the performance of all sub-trades is undertaken. This is a constructive process which highlights problem areas and allows remedial processes to be developed and implemented. Getting it right, first time, eliminates re-work and saves everyone time and money. Hawkins Interiors brings tangible benefits to the project, to the ultimate benefit of the client.
