How we work<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

The best structural solutions start with understanding.<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A drawing tells us what someone drew. It doesn\u2019t tell us how you\u2019re going to build it, what the site will allow, or where your programme is tight. So we ask first.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Why we don\u2019t lead with a price<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Anyone can price a drawing. Fewer can tell you the drawing is wrong.<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n \t\t\t

When a supplier prices what they\u2019re given and nothing else, they\u2019re making a bet: that the drawing is right, the site will cooperate, and the other trades will land where they\u2019re supposed to.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

That bet gets settled on your site, at your cost.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We\u2019d rather spend an hour on the front end than have you spend a fortnight on the back end.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Photograph<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Two of your people over a drawing on a factory bench or a site table. Mid-conversation, mid-argument even. Hands on paper. Not looking at the camera.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

The obvious question<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\u201cThat sounds slow. Can you just price it?\u201d<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

Yes. Send the drawings and we\u2019ll price them, on your timeline. If you\u2019ve got a tender closing Friday, we\u2019re not going to make you sit through a workshop.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

But we\u2019ll also tell you what we\u2019d do differently \u2014 because we\u2019re the ones who have to make it fit. That conversation makes the price better. It doesn\u2019t make it slower.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Proof slot<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Average days from drawings to priced proposal. Publish the real number. It kills this objection outright.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Proof slot<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Turnaround for a straight re-price on a revised drawing set.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

One coordinator<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Assigned at first contact. Yours until the last delivery.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

One drawing set<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Timber and steel detailed together, off the same revision.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

The method<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Four steps. No mystery.<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n \t\t\t

01 \u2014 Understand the job<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We ask about the project, not just the plans.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

What are you trying to achieve? How are you sequencing it? What\u2019s the site going to allow? Where\u2019s the programme tight, and where\u2019s the budget tight \u2014 because they\u2019re rarely the same place. What\u2019s the design actually trying to do?<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

02 \u2014 Engineer the answer<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We work out the right structural approach.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Sometimes that means more steel. Sometimes it means less. Sometimes it means changing how the floor spans so you can lose a row of props. We\u2019ll tell you which, we\u2019ll show you the reasoning, and we\u2019ll tell you what it costs and what it saves.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

03 \u2014 Build it right<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Timber and steel, our factories, our people.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Both packages detailed off the same drawing set, by people who know they\u2019ll have to answer for it. When the steel and the timber are made under one roof, the junction between them stops being an argument and starts being a detail.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

04 \u2014 Land it on site<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Delivered in the order you\u2019ll build it.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Sequenced to your programme, not our loading dock. Marked up so your carpenters aren\u2019t sorting a pile before they can start. And one number to call if anything moves \u2014 which, on a building site, it will.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

When it goes wrong<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Anyone can be a good supplier on a good day.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Sooner or later something will be short, late or wrong. It happens to every supplier in this industry and any who tell you otherwise are lying. What matters is what happens next.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Here\u2019s what we do:<\/b> we call you before you call us. We tell you what\u2019s happened and what it does to your programme. We tell you how we\u2019re fixing it and by when. We don\u2019t wait for you to find out on site.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

That\u2019s not a promise that nothing will ever go wrong. It\u2019s a promise that you\u2019ll never be the last to know.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Strategic note for Jake:<\/b> this section is the hardest thing on the site to sign off and the most valuable thing on it. No competitor will copy it, because copying it means meaning it. Rewrite it in your own words \u2014 but keep it.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

Start with a conversation.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Fifteen minutes on the phone about your job will tell you more than a fortnight of tender responses.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t\n\tStart a Conversation \u2192\n<\/a>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-64","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/glencoegroup.connexionpoint.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/64","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/glencoegroup.connexionpoint.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/glencoegroup.connexionpoint.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glencoegroup.connexionpoint.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glencoegroup.connexionpoint.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=64"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/glencoegroup.connexionpoint.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/64\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/glencoegroup.connexionpoint.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=64"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
