This ensures that a solution is aesthetic, functional and economical prior to implementation.
Different projects handled by our team have been taken over at a point of distress. Proficient management of contracts, professionals and programs have seen the projects realized.
Project Methodology
1. Establish clients’ needs, define project scope and brief.
The success of projects is made with strong clear briefs that meet the project’s needs. The brief and scope will be carried through the project, the consultants and delivery as the initial and final value proposition. Namib Projects works with the client, community and stakeholders to identify and correctly frame the needs of the project.
2. Concept and project parameters
The concept of the projects, distilled from the brief, will focus the team on each projects speciality. Setting the parameters keeps the team, project and client aligned through to the end of the program. Bring into the conversation client, community, stakeholders and specialists, as key to the project’s successful outcomes.
3. Viability and feasibilities
Ensuring that each project sits within the Community, Statutory, Financial, Ergonomic, Psychological and Physical constraints. As the project heads toward delivery project focal points for further refinement are identified and can be engineered out. This step identifies the needs for Fiscal, Human, Intellectual and Physical Capital of the Project.
4. Refine and value engineer
A project is made or broken before the start of implementation. Namib Projects pays attention to details and apply the hands-on- approach to ensure that final decisions are investigated and debated. Grooming through decisions, assumptions, solutions and variables, through deep interrogation and debate, leads to a more viable and economical decisions.
5. Contracting and programming
Managing the Tender or contract negotiation process to meet the needs of the project. We apply a critical review to maintain quality, workmanship, integrity and program commitment.
6. Development and construction
The hard yards of turning theoretical, physical. A hands-on approach to maintaining quality, workmanship integrity and program commitment.
7. Implementation and close-out
Namib Projects pays attention to final quality management and systems activation and ensure that parties walk away excited and proud of the project outcome.
