We have developed systems and processes that add value to our clients via fast-tracked approvals with local and state government authorities and strict project governance of construction works.

COMMITMENT TO QUALITY SERVICE DELIVERED LOCALLYCardno is recognised by project managers, contractors, authorities and consultants throughout the construction industry in Australia for completing projects to a high level of quality on time and within budget.

At Cardno, our senior management staff are locally based and are involved with the projects. We have a thorough knowledge of the projects run through, the DRFA process and understand the associated funding guidelines and approval and acquittal process requirements. We also have staff that have been involved in the preparation of DRFA funding submissions. The processes and systems Cardno has developed for NDRRA have been refined to suit the DRFA. This enables the efficient delivery of projects and most importantly the greatest likelihood of funding being realised.

PROJECT MANAGEMENTWe have extensive experience managing projects across all sectors to ensure they are delivered on time and on budget to reflect the client’s needs. Our approach to managing individual projects mirrors the service we provide at the program level but with a meticulous focus on the task at hand. This means adhering to the ‘Cardno Way’, being in line with the global PMBOK standard for quality control, minimising risk by engaging mitigation strategies, coordinating with multiple stakeholders and communicating regularly with our clients.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICES We have the understanding and operational experience to deliver quality project outcomes working collaboratively with all stakeholders out of project management offices (PMO). Our multidisciplinary teams are able to provide a consistent and repeatable process for project management, data management, reporting, approvals and acquittal process, management and approval variations, management of contractors and reporting to both local and state government authorities and relevant stakeholders. Cardno has set up and operated out of PMO’s in Gatton, Rockhampton, Mackay and Gladstone.

USE OF CLEVER TECHNOLOGY Cardno has a purpose-built hand-held tablet-based system for managing the large volumes of project data. We developed and implemented the tablet-based system allowing the Cardno team to store, interrogate, amend and add construction data in the field to help in the delivery of crucial projects. The multipurpose system also uses GPS locating and navigating systems to aid the physical locating of defects in the field.

The success of the system, processes, software and hardware have resulted in broader use on the North Burnett Regional Council project by local and state government authorities and civil contractors. Importantly, our assessment system can be linked to any data format including those used by local and state government authorities.
