To ensure the team are able to meet the tight deadlines they have closely managed the programmes to allow for additional capacity for potential risks to be built in prior to the main works start date. Risk assessment of the site has been included into the pre–contract mobilisation as well as the health and safety necessities included as standard in any JB Construction 1 project.

The team have worked closely with Barnwood Construction to ensure all works, materials and labour are working in the most efficient way to ensure the project stays on track. The software report and programmes used have allowed for the members of the team to collaborate together for maximum efficiency and accuracy in the works being undertaken.

In order for the project to stay on track, a focus on clear communication between the professional’s team, client, contractor and workforce has been key, with regular in–person meetings and check ins to monitor the progress of the works.

Ultimately the project is looking to tend to a successful completion which will the benefit the local community and provide jobs for the local people. The close relationship with the client, whose end goal is to open the site to benefit patients in the area, has been key in maintaining the project and allowing for the collaboration necessary between the two companies to plan, execute and complete the project.
