Innovation

Triple Star works in a challenging and constantly changing environment. As a team we search for and implement the most up-to-date practices and technologies to ensure we perform at our absolute best and provide innovative solutions for our clients.

Our commercially-minded team is recognised for its excellence in creative problem solving, pushing design and construction boundaries, and adding value for our clients – whatever the site, design brief and budget. 

Each project we take on is unique and we adapt our processes, resources and skills accordingly.  

  

Architecture Design & Consultant Management

Design and Consultant Management is a critical part of the project cycle.  We are big advocates of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) and see this as fundamental to tailoring each of our projects to our clients unique goals and requirements.  Triple Stars involvement early in a project enables us to provide front-end and feasibility feedback to our client and design team from a cost, consent, and construction perspective.

  • updating cost estimates as plans progress and establishing a realistic construction budget
  • estimating and scheduling of quantities and procurement

In-house Land Surveying

Early access to survey information enables both the benefits and constraints of a site to be clearly identified and responded to early during the design process.  This capability enables our clients and consultant team to visualise their construction project within a site.  

The services we provide include:

  • earthworks design, calculations and plans 
  • services and infrastructure assessments

Construction Team

Having a dedicated labour force allows us to maintain a high quality of workmanship and continuity throughout all of our projects. Each project team is selected specifically to ensure the most efficient outcome for our clients.  

Our use of current technology and systems streamlines communication between the office and site-based staff.  This enables our work sites to stay up-to-date with all project documentation and instructions, reducing the risk of any delays.

Triple Star’s construction team is continually being challenged by the often complex projects we build providing us with opportunities to learn, lead and grow within a supportive environment.  

 

Health, Safety & Environmental Management

Triple Star is committed to providing and maintaining a healthy and safe work environment for everyone. Our robust health and safety policies and procedures ensure that both our team and other subcontractors receive the appropriate training and guidance.

Triple Star is a member of the 'Central Lakes Safety Charter', a local initiative set up to increase the awareness and importance of health and safety within construction sites. We are continually developing our health and safety culture and are always looking for ways to continually improve our daily work environment.  

We understand that we affect the environment directly through our day-to-day activities and are committed to operating in a manner that reflects good environmental practices and management.  

Delivery

Triple Star is a client-focused company that provides customised solutions and delivery certainty. Our projects are tailored specifically to our client's needs and financial resource and completed on schedule to the highest standard.   

Quality Assurance

Quality assurance is about preventing mistakes and managing defects. We are proud of our reputation for attention to detail and the strong relationships we build to ensure all quality requirements can be fulfilled.

We operate on a proactive, transparent and open book basis. The high standard of our finished projects are a testament to the excellence of our team and the systems and processes we adopt.  

Regular Client Reporting

Clear and open communication systems are key to the success of our projects. Client reporting expectations are established early in a project.   

Typically, the content of our monthly reports will include a summary of the following:

  • progress and milestones for both design and construction 
  • consultant and sub-contractor status and contracts
  • any updates to programme 
  • status of consents and approvals
  • cost and expenditure control
  • red flags
  • health and safety

Our clients are also able to access a range of specific information relating to their project via our Construction Management Software, 'Procore'.  This includes regular photo downloads, access to all drawings/specifications and meeting agendas and minutes.  

Close Out & Compliance

Throughout the life of each of our projects, we manage the necessary approval and consent process. Upon completion of a project, and prior to delivery to our client, we ensure that all relevant code of compliance requirements and building and resource consent conditions have been adhered to and ticked off.    

Triple Star also manages the project close-out documentation our clients are provided with upon completion. This documentation will include:

  • relevant consent and approvals
  • user and operation manuals and instructions
  • contractor and subcontractor details and contracts
  • as-built plans
  • warranties and guarantees
