Drawings Only
Many Clients in Mining, Industrial or Process environments
require this service. It may be that their project is in a particularly remote
area and that they have 'in-house' staff capable of supervising the work.
Mindust.com
will be pleased to submit sketch designed
for approval, followed up with detailed drawings, specifications and or tender
documents to suit the Clients requirements. We also provide a "Safety-net"
service should problems be encountered at any stage of construction.
The most important part of any project is the Feasibility study and at
Mindust.com
and we pride ourselves in this particular aspect of the process.
You provide us with the bare requirements for your project
and we will provide sketch drawings and site layouts to meet your needs. Furthermore
we will provide accurate estimates for each building and the infrastructure.
These estimates will be comprehensive and cover not only
the obvious costs but also those hidden costs so often omitted in the budgeting
stage e.g. landscaping, fencing, professional fees, head office costs, service
connections etc.
With our vast database of information and experience in
the industrial environment we will provide you with appropriate buildings
fit for purpose and estimates you can trust. A nominal fee is charged for
this service which will be refunded if the project proceeds.
We will quote you at the outset of the feasibility and
will expect full reimbursement before releasing of drawings and estimates.
With the ever-increasing pressure on resources, maintenance,
particularly on buildings definitely is taking a "back seat". Typically roofs
are leaking, water is being wasted, paint is peeling, and unhygienic situations
arise, perhaps even dangerous electrical situations occur.
Outside pressures can bring these situations to a head
and something must be done quickly.
Call Mindust.com,
we have handled these situations before and I'm sure we will many times in
the future.
We can offer a full upgrading of your existing facilities and put a full Capital
Project together. Where resources are limited we can structure a phased improvement programme.
Either concentrating on your immediate priorities or a
2 - 5 years plan to upgrade the facilities on a rotation basis. The choice
is yours.
Before any work can commence on your project a drawing
must be provided showing the size of the land or existing buildings in question.
In many Municipal areas plans of the site or the existing building are available at a nominal
charge. If this not the case Mindust.com
will survey the land or buildings and provide the necessary drawings for you.
In many cases we have approached the Surveyor General (Deeds Office) to obtain site information
and saved the Client the expense of a survey.
Many Clients with older properties have no drawings at all and approach Mindust.com
to provide them with accurate survey drawings to assist with their strategic decision making
process.
Other Clients do have drawings, but only in paper form
and prefer to have these drawings converted into electronic form, CAD system
immediately available are AutoCAD and microstation although others could be
made available to suit your specific needs.
While Mindust.com
appreciates that Patterson and other grading
systems are not as prevalent today as they have been in the past, many Clients still find
this is on equitable system for allocating office space, motors cars and housing.
Whether you have an existing system that needs upgrading, or existing buildings that need
classifying or upgrading, Mindust.com
will assist you in formulating your own system.
If you are fortunate enough to have a listed building or monument on
your property either in need of renovation or perhaps a "change of use", which would increase
the value of the property to your Company then contact Mindust.com
to assist you with your application to the National Heritage Resource Agency.
Quick demolition used to be the answer, but that will now incur heavy penalties. Rather receive
the accolade of a Company interested in preserving our Countries Heritage and Environment. Let
us help you on your endeavours in this area.
Despite our involvement with some of the very successful "facades" of Gold Reef City
Casino, if you are looking for Lost City types interiors then we will recommend the best practices
to you.
However if you require a "Smarter Image" approach then we can definitely assist you. Interior
design does not have to include gold-plated doorknobs to be impressive. Interiors generally
fail due to poor choice of colour and a lack of imaginative lighting. Mindust.com,
why pay more?
Many of our Clients have achieved great success by employing the simple
philosophy of "Sticking to the Knitting"
To this end, when a major construction project is contemplated they have employed Mindust.com
to act as liason representative between their Company and a Project Management Team.
This ensures that their Company Executive does not have to waste time at lengthy construction
meetings, and yet they are appraised after every meeting of the current status in terms of
progress and costs.
Also they are made aware of the decisions which must be made by the Executive to avoid costly
claims for delays. Furthermore Mindust.com
will highlight any lack of diligence on the part of the project manager or members of the
professional team.
It is an unfortunate fact in the Construction Industry
that disputes often arise between the Client and the Contractor. Most Construction
Contracts were changed many years ago to include an agreement to use Arbitration
rather than the Courts in order to avoid heavy legal costs.
Unfortunately even Arbitration costs have escalated dramatically
and are now extremely expensive.
Mindust.com
can offer a mediation service, which will reduce your costs considerably.
The solution to most disputes can be found in the minutes of the Site Meetings and a few
days research will often substitute weeks in tribunerals. You know it makes sense.
Mindust.com
will automatically produce furniture layouts on your plans. This assists you as the
Client to understand the layout more easily and to reminds the team that furniture will be
required at the end of the construction period.
Mindust.com
will arrange meetings with you and the Suppliers to show you the full range and costs available. We will arrange
tenders for the agreed standard adjudicate the costs and make recommendations.
Saving time and money for you that is Mindust.com.
We are quite lucky in South Africa that most products
required are available and manufactured to World Class Standards. North of
the Limpompo however this is not the case, and Clients working in these areas
will require good procurement transport and import/export experience.
With our experience in Zambia, Mindust.com
understands the process and has the experience to arrange whatever Country you name in
Africa. Let us use our expertise to satisfy your needs.
This could also be called the "Just-in-time" service.
With the pressure of a new Engineering Project it is quite understandable
that the necessary buildings, not being a high priority, are left on the back
burner or overlooked altogether.

are willing to work 24 hours a day weekends and/or holiday periods to ensure that you
meet your deadlines. Try this service, and we promise you, you will not be disappointed.
