Our Management
CivilTeam’s open communication and early involvement with essential services, project designers and the client ensured potential delays to the program for unforseen factors were mitigated. This included the relocation of a stop valve on a 3000mm AC water main required only minimal adjustment to the design kerb line. CivilTeam’s action resulted in a considerable saving in time and money for the client.
Value Adding
Having completed similar works in 2011, CivilTeam was pleased to be awarded this project from the Greater Taree City Council.
As it is CivilTeam’s aim to provide quality outcomes and to create great partnerships with our clients, this kind of repeat business is a positive sign that we are achieving those goals.
