We have an incredibly strong team of experienced project managers, who are responsible for the successful delivery of your construction project. Working closely with our clients, the team are well equipped to organise, control, and monitor ongoing construction operations. In addition to our project management team, we have a strong and capable technical administration department, which ensures all crucial paperwork is completed. We pride ourselves on the hands-on leadership and guidance we offer, from pre-commencement to completion.

The quantity surveying team’s strengths lie in their diverse backgrounds within client organisations, professional practice and contracting. This breadth of exposure enables us to offer broad skillsets and experience on all projects across our sectors.

Our technical administration department provides additional support to the surveying team, ensuring the work produced is issued promptly and of the highest quality.

With our team’s collective industry expertise, combined with a wealth of benchmarking data we acquire from our live projects, we can provide our clients with recommendations that accurately align with the changing business landscape.

In addition, we have access to RICS Membership, BCIS data, CostX measurement software and JCT online, whilst actively supporting quantity surveying apprenticeships with Nottingham Trent University, allowing us to continue onboarding new talent for the future of construction.

As employer’s agent, we ensure the project is structured correctly and that the investment value of the scheme is protected. As well as representing our client, we will administer the contract and complete all appointments, warranties, and other key legal documents, alongside organising, chairing, and recording meetings / key events.

We are there to support, advise and organise our clients. Depending on the requirement the role will be fulfilled by one of our senior project managers or project surveyors, with backup support from the wider technical team.

Principal Designer

As a business, we have invested heavily in training key members of the project management team as principal designers. As members of the APS, Association for Project Safety, we are competent in influencing how risks to health and safety are managed throughout the project.

When appointed as project managers on a scheme, we can extend our appointment to include principal designers where required.

5. Environmental Social Governance

At Goodrich, we realise that we need to be strategic about our social responsibility and raise awareness of our individual and collective impact on the planet.

By being a part of Planet Mark and collating key data on our business, we can access invaluable insight to understand the effect of our carbon footprint and identify critical areas where we can make improvements. From the knowledge we gain, we can make decisions that positively influence our future actions allowing continuous improvements to be made across the business and within our community.

As a company, we are working hard to reduce our footprint, because we know it’s the right thing to do. Our aim is to continue to take proactive steps forward to drive a positive change for both our planet and society to help build a brighter future for all.

Our social value is measured across three main categories:

Our People

Developing skills for the future, equality, health, safety and wellbeing

Our Planet

Climate change, land use, nature loss, freshwater availability

Prosperity

Innovation, employment generation, community, and social vitality

Over the next year as we grow and develop as a business, we have targeted ourselves to work towards achieving a 5% reduction in our total and individual carbon footprint.

Our teams have also been tasked with suggesting ideas to support local communities, schools and charities, and so far, we have managed to donate over £7,000 to worthy causes across the country.

When Bidfood’s new Speke facility was built 3 years previously, a section of the building was constructed to have a frame, roof and external walls only with the internal floor etc omitted. This was to allow for a future extension to the freezer should demand necessitate it.

Following the pandemic, demand significantly increased and in Oct 2021 Bidfood required additional space for the start of the next financial year. A start on site with quick mobilisation and procurement of long lead items was critical to the success of the project.

The contract was negotiated and a swift commencement on site was achieved with a full turnkey solution delivered a week ahead of the new financial year in 2022.

This was all achieved without any impact on the site’s current operations and the new -25C chamber was immediately put to use when handed over.
