key principles
Experience has taught us
that each project poses unique challenges and that the successful
completion and commissioning of a project is possible only when
consultants are able to address Client needs in a manner which is both
practical and innovative.
To
exceed the exacting standards of the highly specialized profession
we serve, Storey ENG (Pty) Ltd has in style and focus evolved beyond the
traditional mould of the Client / Consultant relationship. Storey
ENG (Pty) Ltd has become a
solutions provider.
With a
proper blend of management and technical competence, we strive to
satisfy our passion for excellent Client service through adherence to
the following key principles in all we do:
utilization of resources
Irrespective of the type, size, or structure of an organization, its
effectiveness is governed by the extent to which resources are
effectively employed and utilized to achieve its goals. Resources
typically associated with the execution of a project by Storey ENG (Pty)
Ltd comprise the following:
-
Client Participation
- The vision of our Clients is the starting point of every project.
Without it the project cannot exist. Clients therefore represent a
precious opportunity, and we strive to include all our Clients as
active participants throughout all phases of a project's
development. Thus they have the opportunity of embracing their
personal affinity for the project outcomes whilst developing an
in-depth knowledge of every aspect of the project.
-
Project Management - Ensuring each project is directed by a
principal of the firm Clients are afforded senior representation
with in-depth knowledge of the project, its budget, and work
progress throughout all stages of a project's development.
-
Expertize – As excellence is dependent on the quality of
solutions designed, we maximize the base of experience applied to
the development of project solutions by ensuring every effort is
made to guarantee that the professionals involved continuously
undergo further education and specialization to develop and maintain
the highest level of expertize.
-
Technical Resources - In achieving pre-determined project goals
professionals often need to make use of a wide variety of resources.
Our team have at their disposal the most appropriate and current
technical tools such as computers, software, literature, reference
manuals, etc.
structured management and
monitoring
Successful management of a project requires that the resources be
controlled in such a manner that the project goals are met without
exceeding the budget, whilst adhering to the project time frame, and simultaneously complying with the quality standards set.
Specifically, structured management and monitoring comprises the
following:
-
Cost Control
- A clear understanding of the budget and cost control is essential
to any project. Appropriate cost control and monitoring procedures
are inherent in all projects for which we are appointed.
-
Programme Control
- Delivery of project solutions must be made timeously. Cost of
financing dictates a disciplined approach to meeting project
schedules. As a response, a detailed project schedule is developed
to identify key milestones. This programme is constantly monitored
against performance.
-
Quality
Assurance - The integration of quality design with
technical expertise is sought through a rigorous and comprehensive
quality control system. All work is regularly reviewed to ensure
that overall project quality is maintained and that the overall
objectives of the project are being attained.
efficient organization
An
important factor which seldom receives sufficient consideration and
greatly impacts the level of service received from the consultant is
that of internal efficiency. Management style, organizational structure
and culture, selection and training of professionals, and the
administrative practices ascribed to by the firm lays the foundation for
the manner in which the Client is treated, and the project approached
and executed.
-
Business Procedure
- Our commitment to excellence begins with our business practices.
We insist that the business component of the firm be a supportive
complement to the professional services on offer. Whilst we advocate
for a disciplined approach towards administration, a high premium is
placed on the free exchange of ideas and experiences in order to
stimulate creative new solutions.
-
Implementation
- At the inception of a project, the yet unrealized potential of its
outcomes ensures that all participants feel inspired and excited.
The implementation phase of any project is, however, a very intense
period. It requires continuous attention and dedication, and a
spirit of co-operation between the Client, professional team(s),
contractor(s), and community. The continued commitment of the
consulting firm to the project, communication skills, and the
ability to resolve daily co-ordination issues are mandatory if the
project is to be completed successfully.
