HYway ( its forward-looking in-house management platform ) allows HY to achieve a corporate overview in realtime , delivering insights that inform key decision-making . “ I can interrogate the project ’ s progress , at any stage , from home , the boardroom , or my desk ,” adds Brumfield . “ I can get access to site diaries and look at all of the cost reports to ensure we remain on track .”
In such a confined space and with a large workforce , safety on the project has been paramount . Brumfield believes that HY ’ s systems have matured to provide industry best practice . “ To compound that progress we ’ re moving into the behavioural space with safety ,” he says . “ With company campaigns like ‘ You See It - You Own it ’, we are aiming to reinforce the message that we all get to influence the safety outcome ; and it ’ s about individual ownership . Working with subcontractors who are exposed to different sites routinely , it can be a challenge to get them aligned with our own culture and fully engaged with our strategies . It ’ s working really well , and we ’ re seeing our operatives starting to understand that their own behaviours are creating the positive outcomes we want .”
The theatre ’ s end user , the Adelaide Festival Center , has been “ incredibly engaged ” with the design process . Working alongside the Government of South Australia ’ s Building Project ’ s management arm , DPTI ( Department of Planning , Transport and Infrastructure ) and Department of Premier and Cabinet , HY is delivering the first new theatre built in the state for many years . “ It might be smaller in scale than some of our projects , but the levels of complexity and the quality of the finishes are on another level ,” marvels Brumfield .
