Understanding the Project

TIMELINE

Initiation

Equiset has developed a strong relationship with the Catholic Schools Office, Diocese of Broken Bay, Catholic Education Office Sydney, and Catholic Education Office Parramatta.  Due to our reputation for successfully delivering projects on time, to budget and of high quality, we were invited to project manage and construct a number of B.E.R schools.

Sydney BER Schools

Through Equiset’s strong relationships with the Catholic Schools Office, Diocese of Broken Bay, Catholic Education Office Parramatta and the Catholic Education Office Sydney, we were proud to be involved in the delivery of schools for the Building the Education Revolution Program.

For each project, Equiset were heavily involved with the client and stakeholders to understand the unique requirements of each school in order to create a project brief that would achieve the best possible outcomes.

Through early consultation with the client, we were able to maximise value from the initial design process through to construction delivery.

Project management for the BER projects included writing the principal requirements of each project, providing concept drawings for consultation and approval, development approval, commissioning of professional design consultants, contract administration, stakeholder and community consultation, design management, programming, construction and risk mitigation.

Equiset understands the challenges of working in live environments. Throughout all projects, we were able to work with the school to achieve successful operational and safety requirements.
