Our Approach
For all projects we recognise that honest and
regular client liaison is key and we will:
- Communicate with project stakeholders on a daily basis
- Maintain regular contact with our supply chain partners
- Control the flow of information
- Review documentation produced to provide a detailed program of works to all parties and project method statement that complies with the latest health and safety best practice so that we safely deliver the project whilst effectively controlling noise, dust and disruption with consideration to client procedures and processes such as the permit to work process.
- We use Fonn project management software for drawing and document management, site diaries, snagging and quality control, task management, requests for information, digital forms and project reporting; thereby allowing us to share project information and progress reports with our clients in real time.
Services Expertise
We organise the removal of unwanted / waste materials and manage structural alterations with the assistance of specialist engineers. Along with industry specialists, we manage the Mechanical and Electrical services, data, security and fire systems. Starting as electrical engineers we have a good understanding of:
- The commissioning process
- Mechanical and Electrical systems required for installation
- Applying a sensitive approach to minimise the impact of the works on patients and staff
- Installation of renewable energy solutions including EV charge points
Sensitive delivery
We take great care to tailor our services to each individual customer’s requirement and minimise the impact of the work we carry out, whether that is for:
- Phased hand-overs.
- Working in occupied buildings.
- Working in logistically challenging, confined sites.
- By liaising with all project parties we ensure that all goals are achieved in the most productive and cost effective manner.
- We also discuss the project with neighbours and individuals who are likely to be affected by the work and explain the potential impact.
Sustainability
We are conscious of the environmental footprint of GD Smy Limited and are trialling the introduction of electric vehicles for our company fleet and continuing our transfer to a paperless company.
We work with our clients and supply chain to identify the most energy efficient and sustainable mechanical and electrical plant and fittings and have installed a number of EV charge stations for clients. In addition, we ensure that all materials from site are collected by a reputable waste management contractor who recycles 99% of our site waste.
Finally, we are looking into our approach to net zero carbon in line with UK government policy and their net zero 2050 targets and we expect our supply chain to be doing this too.
Social Value
We regularly engage with clients and local authorities in the areas that we work to support local schools, colleges and employment initiatives.
This includes employing local supply chain partners and procuring materials from local businesses. In addition, we support our staff in their charitable endeavours as well as regularly supporting a number of charities including:
London Air Ambulance
Help for Hero’s
Cancer Research UK
Starlight Children’s Foundation.
In addition, we recently completed a children’s play area for Medway NHS Trust where we priced the works at a discount to help stretch the budget raised through charitable donations and also donated £500 for new toys and equipment.
