Drawings, people
and the work ahead.

Site coordination brings drawings and measurements into daily work: access for the next trade, materials at the workface and items ready for inspection.

At Kimugu, progress photographs, trade schedules and discussions with the client’s engineering team kept the work and the next decisions visible. Painting and louvre works were completed on 19 October 2026 within the agreed 21-day programme.
