RCP was engaged by the Department of Housing & Public Works to provide specialist programming services for the Rockhampton Courthouse external works upgrade project.
The works were required to be completed whilst the courthouse and registry office remained operational. RCP assisted with the staging plans and programming to ensure minimal disruption to operations. This included providing a guideline for the contractor in relation to a realistic programme and milestones.
RCP’s scope of services for the project included a review of all project reports, design documents, cost plans and preliminary outline programmes; preparation of a development baseline programme; monitoring status and programme performance; reviewing tenderers programmes including programme negotiations; as well as providing monthly status reports and advice/detailed assessments in relation to extension of time claims during the construction phase.
