At Religare, 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 requirements and anticipated outcomes.

Consideration is also given to the construction team’s ability to function collaboratively 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
• 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.
• The 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 prepare a comprehensive construction program, detailed scopes of works are agreed and the letting of contracts commences according 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 communicated.

At this meeting, Health and Safety, Environmental, and Quality matters are also discussed and minute. Our budget management is a collaborative process and we encourage our clients to contract with us based on a realistic tender price.

We prefer providing a keen and thoroughly considered tender price of which we take ownership. We understand our client’s requirement to control expenditures within the budget anticipated at the commencement of the project and to this end, we continually value engineering all aspects of the construction, offering alternative solutions where practicable.

We have an ethos of being mindful of variations and anticipating additional cost in advance thereby giving the Project Control Group time to collectively assess alternatives ahead of construction.

Our Construction Manager attends most site meetings to ensure that we achieve our client’s expectations and that we establish lasting and valuable relationships within the community and the Project Control Group.
