2003.
• Gaining well over ten years experience:
Manufacturing

Civil engineering
Construction
• Working with both Principal and Sub-Contractors
Construction Planning &
Management of Site Wide
ArrangementsGenerally, much construction work is transient and therefore the needs
of the site can change daily.
Many accidents that occur on site, can often be attributed to poor
planning, design and installation of temporary works.Source: CITB GE700C
In order to get things “right” the Principal Contractor must be provided
with relevant site information and suitable space.
