Project Accolade
- The accomplishment to finish on time and within budget even though the project was delayed for almost 3 months at the beginning. Managing multiple shift start and finish times throughout the 24hr period and having multiple subcontractors working throughout the length of the job with no LTI’s. Initially the builder was sceptical of our ability to complete the job, we turned them into believers and now key personnel now request us to work for them
