Connected construction provides a
360-degree approach
Innovative technological systems that will allow a construction project to be delivered on time and within budget. These include connected construction assets to deliver a true 360-degree view of an in-process project. The introduction of robotic process automation (RPA) to boost back office operational efficiencies. Building information modelling (BIM) to create 3D models to allow for immediate changes before a project can begin.
Analytics and data are the core for future growth, productivity, and efficiency
Data-driven approach to unlock smart decision making. Moves business decisions from reactive to predictive. Refines operations and tackles business goals like reducing costs or providing next-generation client services.
Mega trends shaping the construction industry’s future
Market and customers: 65% of the next decade’s growth in construction will happen in emerging countries. Society and workforce: 63% of South Africans are already living in urban areas and the statistics will rise to 71% by 2030. By 2050, eight in 10 people will be living in urban areas and this will increase demand on basic infrastructure requirements. Sustainability and resilience: Number 1 consumer of global raw materials is the construction industry. 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to buildings. 3X as many disasters were reported last year as reported in 1980.

OUR EXPERIENCE - SOME OF OUR KEY CLIENTS
We have a proven track record of servicing the following client
PROJECT ACQUISITION AND DELIVERY MODEL
Tipp-Con has adopted the following model to ensure delivery of construction projects that are on time, within budget and with the highest level of quality. Tipp-Con follows a disciplined combined project management process approach based on the PMBOK, Prince II and Agile methodology models. Upon project award, projects are kicked-off with a client meeting detailing the confirmation of project scope including the verification of all drawing and other supporting documents forming part of the contract negotiations. Once that is achieved and signed off we further engage through planning workshops with clients and consultants to produce and sign-off a Project Charter that will govern the project process.
A project team is then assembled and ready to kick-off the start of the construction process. Materials procurement and sub-contractor and labour workforce mobilisation begins followed by the site establishment after site-handover is attained. The project execution and control is managed by an experienced project manager with his team in conjunction with the client. Projects are completed in line with all best practice standards and processes until completion and hand over. The below diagram outlines the process followed by the Tipp–Con team to deliver all projects. This process is highly tailored according to client needs ensuring that our clients always receive a customised solution.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH PROJECTS
Every corporate construction project that Tipp-Con embarks on, we ensure that we identify community projects in the same vicinity of project execution. These projects range from building refurbishment, to donating furniture and computers to entities such as schools, clinics and hospitals. The following are some of the projects we have been involved in based on the needs of those communities:
