JDSi’s role on the Murdoch Health and Knowledge Precinct was to act as LandCorp’s Principals Representative to manage and mitigate risk on this high profile project and to drive the project team to a successful completion.
JDSi were the main line of communication between the contract team and LandCorp. This role required us to maintain frequent and clear communication between all parties to ensure risk items were well understood and effectively managed.
In addition, JDSi performed the role of Chair at weekly Project Control Group Meetings to ensure the progression of clearance activities was being efficiently managed. This process included mapping out and programming land acquisitions, authority negotiations and clearance and title processes.
JDSi maintained a presence on site, upwards of 3-4 times a week. This site presence allowed LandCorp and the Superintendent to have a clear understanding of current construction activities and ensured that any potential delays and / or risks were mitigated early. At every site visit JDSi reported back to LandCorp via a formal Site Report and an OHS Checklist.
JDSi, through our technical understanding and well-developed relationships with numerous service authorities, provided advice in relation to installation methodologies and sequencing to minimise construction risks and delays.
JDSi provided LandCorp, and the wider project team, with advice and methods to improve stakeholder engagement and ensure the community who frequent the adjoining transport and hospital facilities were kept well informed of changes to pedestrian and vehicle routes.
