Our Management
The contract involved many small and large variations and modifications.
CivilTeam continually adjusted and adapted the approach to the task as the design requirements were modified by the Site Superintendent.
Value Adding
Detailed planning, careful client consultation, and methodical works staging were keys to completing this project on time and within budget.
“Throughout, a successful project with open communication lines, prompt issue and risk registration and cooperative relationship between all stakeholders. We would like to note that the contractor employed local indigenous labourers, which we believe had a positive impact for the community and their ownership towards the improved stormwater drainage.”
