Successful Project Practices

METRUM’S MOTTO IS WE ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS OUR LAST PROJECT AND OUR BUSINESS SUCCEEDS OR FAILS BASED ON THE SATISFACTION OF OUR CLIENTS.

Metrum is measured by our clients’ successes. Having concluded a vast number of high-value commercial, retail, multi-discipline and industrial construction projects over the last 20 years, clients trust our ability to bring their visions to life.

As a company committed to finding the best solution for our clients’ projects in an everchanging industry, we dynamically develop and adapt our approach, people, processes and protocols to ensure the successful delivery of our clients’ projects – on time, within budget and to the highest level of quality.

Our approach is a combination of:

  • an in-depth knowledge and understanding of our clients’ requirements
  • a steadfast focus on value added outcomes
  • flexibility and hands-on involvement
  • careful team creation
  • clear and direct communication style
  • effective decision making and problem-solving.
  • rigorous processes that facilitate efficient project delivery

Planning

Upfront planning provides a vital understanding of the clients’ project requirements, the foundation required for a comprehensive client brief and a cohesive view of the development outcome.

Unlike many of our industry peers, Metrum has a dedicated in-house planning department that focuses on programming, scheduling and on-site updating, working from the Baseline Technical Document as a basis. This comprehensive Baseline Technical Document – which details project requirements and costs – is approved and signed off by the client prior to construction commencement.

Quality

While the quality of the work itself remains the responsibility of the contractor, we insist that our project consultants remain actively involved in the construction process from commencement to completion of a project. Regular inspections and quality assessments are carried out, ensuring timeous resolution of any issues that may arise. This quality process includes sourcing samples and creating mock-ups for the clients’ approval.

Programme of works

Metrum is actively involved in the construction programme of works. The contract programme includes a comprehensive project description and the correct definition of a ‘completed project’, averting the clients’ risk of inheriting a building that is not substantially complete or suitable for occupation. We ensure the inclusion of an adequate amount of float to allow for inclement weather and unforeseen delays, as well as dates for sufficient time to snag and prepare lists for practical completion. We recommend a certain amount of additional float to mitigate any unexpected delays and to ensure that these do not impact on the final handover date.

Commissioning

Successful delivery of highly technical projects requires adequate and successful commissioning. This is fundamental in order to achieve the project handover date. Metrum ensures that the contractor supplies suitable mechanical, electrical, plumbing and electronic services consultants to manage, coordinate, install and commission the technical systems.
