How do you handle changes during projects?

In construction, change is inevitable. At Shanco, we approach every project with the flexibility needed to manage these changes effectively, ensuring projects stay on track and meet client expectations. By focusing on clear communication, teamwork, and practical solutions, we help our clients navigate challenges with confidence.

Daily Review and Communication

Shanco’s Technical Department reviews site information daily to ensure all teams have the latest updates. This helps us quickly identify and address issues such as design changes, site access challenges, or unexpected conditions before they escalate.

By maintaining clear communication between our teams—whether it’s site supervisors, procurement, or project managers—we ensure everyone is aligned and ready to adapt as needed.

Weekly Project Review Meetings

Weekly project reviews bring together representatives from all departments to assess progress, address challenges, and plan the next steps. These meetings are a cornerstone of our approach, allowing us to respond quickly and efficiently to changes.

For example, during a recent project, an unexpected concrete obstruction required adjustments to the design and sequencing of the foundation plan. Through our review process, we coordinated resources to resolve the issue without affecting the project timeline.

Client Collaboration

We know how important it is to keep clients informed and involved when changes arise. Regular coordination meetings allow us to address program adjustments, budget implications, or scope changes directly with clients, fostering trust and ensuring transparency.

In a recent project for a care home, design changes required modifications to drainage layouts. By working closely with the client and design team, we implemented the changes efficiently, keeping the project on schedule.

Building Strong Relationships

Adaptability isn’t just about managing change—it’s about maintaining strong, collaborative relationships. From Ministry of Defence sites to hospitals and schools, we tailor our approach to meet the unique demands of each project, ensuring that we deliver quality results while respecting client priorities.

Our ability to adapt has earned us the trust of Tier 1 contractors across the UK. Clients rely on us for our proactive approach, clear communication, and dedication to getting the job done right.

Why Choose Shanco?

Shanco’s adaptability ensures we remain a reliable partner in every project. By managing changes with professionalism and efficiency, we deliver high-quality outcomes while supporting our clients’ goals.

Shanco – Where excellence in groundworks is built on a dedication to meaningful relationships and environmental stewardship.
