Why Galliford Try chose Zutec
Galliford Try understands how crucial a full set of quality O&Ms are to achieving PC and satisfying the needs of end users.
Galliford Try previously managed O&Ms internally but the complex nature of stakeholder and client requirements at Two Arena Central meant there was not the internal capacity to run the process effectively.
Zutec was appointed to manage the process based on their industry experience and expertise in managing structured data and O&Ms on large-scale complex projects.
By outsourcing, Galliford Try have freed up valuable time and resource to focus on the construction process.
How the project was managed
A dedicated project lead and team of assistants are following the construction programme, managing 40 trades working on-site through meetings, phone calls, email, and site-based support.
Galliford Try review real project progress via regular status reports and on-site review meetings throughout the construction phases.
A Zutec-led, incremental review process with relevant package managers and consultants, will ensure the technical accuracy of the final as-built information.
An offline solution was developed as opposed to a cloud-based solution due to end-user security requirements.
