How Savil Projects managed the construction projects with strong attention to detail, time and budget management.
The projects required end-to-end project management and comprehensive construction/roofing works tailored to the stakeholder’s requirements.
All of the projects were conducted at live and occupied sites, allowing Savil Projects to showcase its innovative solutions and exemplary customer service systems tailored to such sites. Although some run-of-the-mill construction companies may consider shutting the buildings down while the project is being completed or simply turning the project down, Savil Projects specialises in continuing to work with building owners/tenants/building management and stakeholders to keep the building operational throughout the works. We do this by going above and beyond in safety management and documentation, high levels of communication and diligent full-time supervision while ensuring the quality and Australian Standards are met every part of the way.
Savil Projects were able to deliver an innovative construction/roofing solution tailored specifically to the clients and stakeholders needs.
Outcome
Our clients, all relevant stakeholders, and all interested parties involved in the projects appreciated the adherence to the planned schedule, the high level of communication, and the efficiency in which the works were completed. The results of the completed product, and the coordination and communication were the perfect finish to these successful projects.
