At the heart of any good organisation is good people.
Rather than employing an inhouse project team for a one-off build in what is an increasingly complex sector, Crown Infrastructure Delivery can step in and provide that support with an experienced project delivery team and robust project management processes at no additional cost to the project. The CID team of professionals have diverse skills in areas such as:
Project Delivery
We specialise in the end-to-end planning and delivery of major projects, bringing the right people together to govern, manage and successfully deliver projects. We have sophisticated project management systems to plot and track progress, identify and manage risks, and control costs. Our team of professionals have deep and diverse skills with backgrounds in project management, engineering, architecture, landscape design, procurement, planning, quantity surveying, budget and cost management.
Project Support
We have developed a high level of maturity in risk management, quality and assurance practices, reporting, scheduling, business case writing and reviews and project finance including budget, cost, baseline, and forecasting. Our project support function is connected using best of breed software which enables excellent project support outcomes.
Finance & Technology
We have delivered $1b worth of horizontal and vertical infrastructure on behalf of the New Zealand Government and established effective reporting processes and channels of communication to project funders. Underpinning the delivery of all functions has been a highly resilient, adaptable and secure technology backbone, enabling our teams to work effectively from anywhere they need to be.
Legal and Risk
Our effectiveness comes in managing the contractual relationship with the main contractor and suppliers, as we have extensive experience in using contractual levers to incentivise performance. We provide pragmatic and timely legal advice with a `best for project’ overview.
Procurement
Our team is experienced in delivering procurement results for multiple construction projects, and consistently represents both our organisation and the market in decision making to ensure positive project and commercial outcomes for all stakeholders.
Human Resources
We are familiar with the people and players in the infrastructure sector and can provide advice on how to build an effective team and ensure it delivers.
Communications
We take a structured approach to communication by working with all the parties associated with a project to ensure they have an appropriate level of involvement in the design phases, and are kept up to date with construction progress. We also liaise with stakeholders impacted by construction work.
