THE CORAL PALM DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
CORPORATE PROFILE
&
CAPABILITY STATEMENT
1.0
The
Firm
The Coral Palm
Development Corporation was formed in 1990 with the intention of creating a
team of professionals that could provide a dynamic, pro-active and hands-on
service to a discerning and demanding market.
The company initially specialised in the conceptualisation, project
management and construction of various resort developments and associated
infrastructures throughout Africa and the neighbouring islands including,
Comores, Mozambique and Mauritius. In
July 1999 the firm recognised a need for professional medium to large
construction companies in southern Africa and an amalgamation was formed with
Eagle 2000 Services and Projects and GBD Hospitality with the intention of
filling this gap and subsequently extensive Hotel & Corporate construction
and refurbishment was undertaken by the Company for the Southern Sun Group
spanning an eight year period with an upgrades of over 4000 rooms.
Since then the
company has completed various projects ranging from residential home alterations
and refurbishments to turnkey office parks, warehouses, shopping centres and
residential complexes including development projects and industrial
renovations. The company is based in
offices just outside Johannesburg where it operates both nationally and
internationally. However work in
Mozambique and Mauritius are managed through its local companies, Por Do Sol
Limitada and African Safaris cc respectively.
More recently the company has amalgamated with KH Investimentos Lda a
project developer and, Micawber 521 (Pty) Ltd a property investment firm.
2.0 Our
Philosophy
Coral Palms
experience has enabled it to develop a comprehensive understanding of the
problems that confront prospective building owners and developers. Consequently this has led to the
establishment of procedures and techniques, which consistently control costs,
limit risk and add value for our clients.
The essence of our project management is to achieve the projects
objective by using the technical talents of an integrated professional
construction team whose function it is to achieve timeous completion of a
building project, without sacrificing good design, quality and a
well-functioning building operating under our guidance and direction.
We anticipate
and timeously resolve issues rather than solve them only once they become
problems. Whilst finishing on time is of
prime concern, we will not adopt a “finish at all costs” attitude – quality and
cost will not be compromised. Our
service includes the diverse expertise and constituent skills within the
organisation, specialising in related fields, ensuring a smooth transition from
what originates as a dream, to a building under construction and ultimately to
a building in occupation.

5.0
Services
Offered
The core of
Coral Palm’s service is based on providing Clients with a responsive and
relevant positively driven development and construction service, which includes
the following:
5.0.1 The Development Phase
From
conceptualisation to reality, Coral Palm will design and formulate a
construction project based on the clients brief. Feasibility studies, developmental plan
approvals environmental impact assessments are all part and partial of this
process.
5.0.2 Cost Planning/Estimates
The preparation
of every estimate, cost report, payment valuation etc. is closely overseen by
the Directors of the company ensuring accurate and efficient analyses of each
study. We are committed to bottom line
responsibility and believe that our “hands on” commercial approach reaps
substantial benefits for our clients.
5.0.3
Viability Studies
In order to
adequately meet the Clients brief, various viability studies and reports are
presented that test the limits of the projects capability, budget, time
restrictions and potential progress components.
5.0.4
Budgetary Control
With our
experience on a wide variety of challenging projects we are able to plan and
control the expenditure on any construction project. This includes bills of quantity preparation,
tendering & negotiation, cost management, contractual control, cost control
of client and tenant fit-outs.
5.0.5
Project Management
The essence of Coral
Palm’s project management is to achieve the projects objective by using the
technical talents of an integrated professional construction team operating
under the project managers guidance and direction. This results in a successful and enjoyable
experience for all concerned. The
project managers relationship with the owner is the keystone in the structure
of the project hierarchy in understanding his business and needs
5.0.6
Preconstruction
During this
phase, acting as liaison between owners and consultants, Coral Palm establishes
a comprehensive and lucid brief for the project, also attending to contractual
arrangements between the owner and all professional consultants, ensuring that
the responsibilities of the various parties are clearly defined. Of prime importance is the careful screening
of consultants and sub-contractors prior to appointment – to establish that
they have the experience, capacity and resources to attain the projects
objectives.
5.0.7
Communication Co-ordination
Proper
communication co-ordination is a priority in any project. A documentation programme based on the
construction programme is set out depicting the time objectives for the various
consultants to achieve relative to the intended construction process. The documentation programme forms the
cornerstone in the maintenance of discipline amongst the consultants and the
owner.
5.0.8
Financial Control
Coral Palm works
in close co-operation with the quantity surveyor, assisting in guiding the
owner through the minefield of decision making with up to date cost and time
implications on the evolving project.
This together with budget meetings and updated cost reports means that
the owner will have all the necessary information to make timeous decisions. Thus
the owner will not have to accept merely being confronted with historical data
or with fait accompli, but can meaningfully participate in the process of the
project as it evolves.
5.0.9
Contractor Appointments
Depending on the
size and scope of the project, Coral Palm would normally perform the
construction protocol in-house and if necessary outsource to consultants and
sub-contractors. Pre-qualification of
tenderers is carried out prior to the tender stage to establish the contractors
suitability. This process allows the
project manager to assess a contractors managerial skills, financial strength
and performance records and, more importantly, the specific team and
methodology intended for the project.
5.0.10
Construction Phase
Design and
construction proceed concurrently and the prime role of Coral Palm is to
maintain the timeous flow of information between itself and the
sub-contractors. Effective
communication, managerial prowess, flair for innovation and the ability to deal
with complicated and timeous construction requirements are critical at this
stage. Coral Palm is fully capable of
communicating effectively with charge-hand, foreman, consultants and top
management alike.
5.0.11
Contractors
Maintaining a
communications network between the owner, consultants, contractor,
sub-contractors and the owners direct contractors, Coral Palm will monitor and
co-ordinate all of these relative functions.
Establishing efficient and effective collaboration between the various
consultants and contractors, means working towards achieving a common goal.
5.0.12
Site Control
On-site control
is essential toward the timeous and effective fulfilment of any project. Hands on liaison and communication with the
teams on site enable us to sense trends, anticipate problems and generally
troubleshoot. Off-site control is
regarded as being equally important as on-site construction and Coral Palm
endeavours to fully monitor the full network of activities producing goods and
services for the project.
5.0.13
Handover
An owner can
rely on Coral Palm for a smooth transition from a building under construction
to a building in occupation. Control and
co-ordination of this major exercise is expertly executed, dovetailing direct
contractors and the owners organisation into the site activity.
