Process

Construction

Step 9 of 12. Construction is where plans become a building, led by one team and mostly built by our own crews.

Construction

One team on site

On our projects, most of the people on site work for HSM. Electricians led by a Master Electrician, mechanical crews for HVAC and plumbing, low voltage installers, framers, drywallers, carpenters, painters and door installers share a single schedule. That helps with coordination, quality and speed.

Construction is also where our approach pays off most clearly. When an electrician finds a conflict with ductwork, the mechanical crew is on the same site and under the same supervisor, so the fix is agreed in minutes. In a traditional multi-contractor setup, the same conflict might take days of calls and revised drawings. Fewer outside firms means fewer gaps, and that shows in the pace and tidiness of the site.

A project manager and a site superintendent run the job. They coordinate trades, check quality, track the schedule and manage change. Meetings keep you informed, and you can call your manager at any time. Calls and email are answered 24/7/365.

Safety first

Health and safety are led by Ghilda Gaber, our Director of Health & Safety. Every site has orientation, hazard assessment, inspections and clear rules. Visitors and neighbouring tenants are protected with barriers, signs and controlled access.

Step 9 of 12 in how an HSM project runs.

Quality control

  • Inspections before walls and ceilings are closed
  • Coordination of rough-in between electrical, mechanical and interiors
  • Regular photo records of concealed work
  • Third-party and authority inspections as required
  • Early correction of defects

Communication

You will not be left wondering what is happening. We provide regular updates, photos and a look-ahead of the coming weeks. When something unplanned happens, we call you first and bring options, not just problems.

On occupied sites we also keep building management and neighbouring tenants informed about noise, deliveries, shutdowns and access.

What to plan for

Expect changes to come up, especially in renovations. We handle them with written scope, cost and schedule effect before work proceeds. Make decisions promptly and give us access when needed. The next step is commissioning, where systems are tested.
