Plan
All jobs are discussed before they start with the project manager, quantity surveyor and site foreman. Programmes of work, site conditions, availability of sub-trades and timeframes are all looked at first.
How we work
How every job runs
Quality assurance starts with a quality design, then pre-planning between quantity surveyor, project manager and foreman, regular on-site management and a final sign off.
Do
Regular site meetings are held and documented. Progress reports cover programme status, variations to contract, possible bottlenecks and the actions needed. Every issue is recorded, with the agreed solution and outcome.
Act
Before completion an independent or nominated professional completes a maintenance checklist for all trades. That checklist is the basis for sub-trades and IMB to make sure everything is 100% finished. A monthly staff newsletter shares what each site has learned.
Staff and equipment
IMB Construction Ltd employs over 35 full-time carpenters and apprentices. We also employ a dedicated person who handles equipment maintenance and repairs and carries out deliveries of plant equipment and materials, ensuring all jobs are adequately catered for.
At present, we have seven foremen working on a variety of contracts. We also have a broad range of contract labour and subcontractors who can be called upon when required.
One of the ways IMB Construction Ltd shares on site knowledge with all staff is to publish a regular monthly newsletter. In many cases staff could work on one site all year, and this lets them share in the successes and issues other colleagues face.
Health and safety
Strong leadership and clear communication keep people safe. Everyone on an IMB site knows why safe work practices matter, takes responsibility for them, and takes part in finding and managing hazards.
