QUaLiTY
Our key goal in terms of quality is to make sure we get it right first time.
if we fail to do so we are very aware of the impact it can have on the overall project timescales as
well and the cost implications (both on our side and that of our clients). it can also damage our
reputation and future relationships with our clients, something we don't take for granted and work
hard to build.
in order to achieve our quality objectives we have learnt that the planning of our projects is paramount.
We have a team of key personnel with a wealth of experience in planning and delivering projects, they
also come with commercial awareness and are tasked with ensuring SHEQ is embedded in the decision
making process.
Just as important are the skills, knowledge and experience of our site managers and operatives.
We have ongoing skills and knowledge development for all personnel through external providers as
well as our in house developed 'learn to earn' scheme.
at the end of each project we conduct a review to identify what went well and what could have been
done better with the aim of bringing together any insights gained that can be applied on future projects
to make them even more successful.

We focus on a broad spectrum of activities for our operatives and staff through initiatives aimed at improved communication, health,

to readily resource schemes with talented people who can deliver works of a high quality.
We invest over 10 % of company profit every year in training our staff and core operatives as to ensure sustainability and growth, this
constitutes thousands of hours spent on training courses throughout the year. We utilise only approved Construction Skills-accredited
Training Centres along with the required infrastructure locations to deliver a significant quantity of this training, from our apprenticeships
to QCFs to CiTB Site Safety to Network rail and LU courses.
We have also spent a vast amount of time and money on our own internal training hub of which we are extremely proud This unique
facility enables in-house training courses invigilated by our SHEQ and compliance staff. This is driven passionately by our Managing
Director and has given operatives the opportunity to be rewarded for their effects in learning.
Each one of our core team are placed into our training hub system and is then given set target dates to achieve certain knowledge
exams formulated in the first instance by our projects, SHE and Quality and Project / Construction managers.
These exams are based around industry standards and BSi standards regarding HSE and installation. Many of our knowledge tests that
are formulated within our training hub are bespoke to project requirements and are built in alignment with our clients approved
inspection and test plans iTP.s and system requirement specifications along with setting out health and safety exams based upon
client and infrastructure HSE planned General inspection forms and criteria.
We have 20 bespoke exams so far that allow us to implement our skills card encouraging our earn as you learn scheme.
Our managers panel monitors each and every exam that our operatives are working on, meaning managers can identify areas where
operatives may be having difficulties. Each operative receives bespoke feedback which will enable them to develop their understanding.
Certificates are sent out whenever operatives hit their targets, with additional reward via pay increases when all subject modules have
been completed.
