Program Review of Major Projects

Design, MCE News, Uncategorized

All projects have an inherent risk of program delay as it only takes one aspect of the project – such as untimely resolution of design issues, changes in the project team, or changes in scope – to impact the program. In multi-disciplinary major projects, this risk is amplified due to the complexity of the project. With the potential for program delays to lead to cost blowouts and unsatisfied clients, it is vital that the project team conducts regular program reviews of their major project.

The need for efficacy of the Interdisciplinary Design Check Process

Design, MCE News, Uncategorized

Lessons learnt during the delivery of major infrastructure projects tells us that inefficacy of the IDC process results in money wasted on revisiting an uncoordinated design, requiring designers to be re-engaged and construction impacted whilst resolving the issue. Inefficacy of the IDC process stems from a number of sources – the length of time allowed for the IDC process within the program is inadequate so designers are unable to properly review their peer’s work; too many IDCs are scheduled within the same timeframe leading to human error when reviewing multiple design packages; and IDCs being scheduled too early in the design process resulting in incomplete design documentation reviewed during the IDC process itself.READ MORE

Last night, our director Stephen Pascall, along with Associate Director Johan Venter, Associate Design Manager Annabella Dao, and Business Manager Nicky Fell, proudly represented MCE Management • Commercial • Engineering at the prestigious Sydney Region Business NSW Awards Gala Night.

Held at the magnificent Sydney Town Hall, this event celebrated the ingenuity, resilience, and commitment of businesses throughout Sydney.

Business NSW recognises the critical role businesses play in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and enhancing the overall prosperity of our city. With over 300 guests and more than 30 finalists in attendance, MCE was honoured to be part of an evening that showcased the remarkable depth of business talent in Sydney.

We were thrilled to be finalists in three categories:

The Employer of Choice Award – Under 20 Employees, recognises a business that has implemented strategies and initiatives to create a stimulating and supportive workplace environment.

The Excellence in Small Business Award – recognises a business that has effectively driven growth and is able to demonstrate the specific strategies implemented to achieve business success and/or resilience and

Outstanding Young Business Leader (Annabella Dao) – recognises an inspirational business leader aged 35 or under who has demonstrated a commitment to their workplace, industry, and the community through leadership.

Although we didn’t take home a trophy this year, we are incredibly proud of our team for making it to the finals amidst such tough competition. Having won Employer of Choice in 2023, our commitment to excellence remains unwavering.

Congratulations to all the winners, and best of luck to everyone heading to the State finals later this year. MCE looks forward to continuing our journey of growth and success, inspired by the incredible businesses we celebrated with last night.
