Q&A

In your role as Assistant Cost Manager, which has been your most challenging project to date and why?

The most challenging Project I have been involved with to date is the 153 nr unit residential development on the Long Mile Road. The main challenge this project had was the cost management post-tender. The procurement method was a management contracting scenario which involves the procurement of multiple trades. The Key challenge was mitigating inflationary costs with the numerous specialist sub-contractors.
