Work Health and Safety Management System

Structum’s Work Health and Safety Management System is based on principles outlined in the Model Work, Health & Safety Act 2011. Our policy is founded on our belief that the well-being of people employed at or visiting our work, is of utmost importance and must be considered during all work performed on our behalf.

Our primary concern on our sites is safety. All provisions are in place at all times to ensure a safe working environment for all our staff and workers, clients and the public. Visitors and members of the public shall be given equal priority to that of our workers.

Financial Systems

Structum implements sophisticated financial systems across all facets of its business to ensure accuracy of forecasting, maintenance of cash flow, and financial sustainability. Prudent financial and operational management is fundamental to our operation.

Project Estimation

Structum uses Buildsoft for the preparation of all cost estimates. A software program widely used by most Quantity Surveyors, it allows us to undertake detailed quantity take-offs, subcontractor analysis and accurate pricing.

The fact that we use the same software as all major Bank Approved Quantity Surveyors, allows us to quickly and accurately transfer information, in a format that is known to them, drastically minimising delays and costs.

Project Cost Management & Forecasting

We uses Jobpac, a project financial system designed to provide effective control over budget, committed, incurred and actual costs in the areas of Sub Contractors, Materials, Labour, Plant and Equipment. This construction industry specific developed software system allows for accurate forecasting and reporting of costs, internal and external variations and progress claims.

At a Global level, all projects as well as office overheads are summarised providing a snapshot of the Business’ cash flow and net position at any point in time. Our internal systems ensure that all costs and income run through this system guaranteeing accurate reporting at all times
