Top Notch delivered without interruption to the day-to-day operations of the School. We employed off-site manufacture and ‘as-needed’ call off wherever possible to minimize the need for a site compound and on-site storage.
We ensured a dedicated full-time senior site manager who had full ownership of this project and was be on site for the full duration of the works. He was be a single point of contact and liaison with the school and be supported by regular visits from TNCL upper management. He ensured to schedule weekly progress meetings with the School stakeholders as well as provide monthly contractors reports detailing progress with the build and communicating any issues that have arisen. In this way TNCL ensured a ‘no-surprises’ approach to the school.
