For our employees, that means encouraging them to be forward-thinking, to embrace change, and to share new ideas and knowledge. That experience and knowledge feeds back into projects to bring certainty to our clients, and to deliver superior results. Ultimately, we settle for nothing less than excellence as standard . We go the extra mile to ensure that we continue to lead the way in our industry and to uphold our ethos of Building Better .

WORKING SMART THE ARDMAC WAY At Ardmac we work Smart, meaning we deploy innovative technology throughout our business to empower our people, drive performance and delight our clients. We place our clients at the centre and apply Lean construction principles and technology to everything we do at Ardmac. We analyse problems through a structured innovation process and apply technology to solve them in a focused manner. Technology has the power to drastically change the face of the construction sector and Ardmac are committed to staying ahead of the curve.

Empowering our People In Working Smart, we combine the three pillars of Last Planner (LPS), our Field Management Software (FMS) and Building Information Technology (BIM). By implementing these tools and processes on all projects, we have built a strong foundation for success. Our systems ensure information flows seamlessly to our teams and customers with streamlined workflows providing a single source of truth, enabling high performance decision making. Our use of technology improves processes at Ardmac, allowing our people to focus on value added work and reducing waste. By deploying these technologies, we are providing our people with fast, efficient and user-friendly platforms that contribute to highly effective collaboration. Our commitment to continuous improvement sees our dedicated digital construction team continuously trial new technology. Our goal is to deliver an entirely paperless jobsite by 2022. Our employees now link continuous improvement to Working Smart. Last Planner System (LPS), Field Mangement Software (FMS) and Building Information Modelling (BIM), are at he heart of everything we do at Ardmac. Collaboration is streamlined across disciplines with people working in tandem rather than silos.

This enables our teams at all levels of the organisation to make better, faster, clearer decisions through Working Smart. Our digital culture and readiness enabled us to cope extremely well during the pandemic as we transitioned to a much greater degree of remote and online working, it has allowed our support teams to continue delivering all services while not being physically present on our sites. This has had a very positive impact on our supply chain also. We collaborate with subcontractors in the same manner using the same systems, we provide clear, current information, filtered to their specific scope of works. This greatly reduces frustration sourcing information or the impact of additional costs due to rework. It reinforces the message that our supply chain is crucial part of our process and a true partner in project delivery. Driving Performance Empowering our people allows us to drive performance. We use cloud-based integrated systems on all our projects. These systems arm our decision makers with real-time accurate information related to safety, quality, schedule, commercial and technical performance.

To summarise, by Working Smart; deploying innovative technology throughout our business, we empower our people, drive performance, and delight our clients.

Armed with this knowledge (on any mobile device) managers can devote more time to making decisions and being in the field supporting the project, and less time at their laptops inputting data or reviewing outdated spreadsheets. Ardmac have been delivering projects using Building Information Modelling (BIM) for over 10 years. BIM ensures greater efficiency and shorter project life cycles, improved communications and coordination, more opportunities for prefabrication and modular construction, higher quality results and resource savings. Ardmac use Last Planner System (LPS), which is a way to collaboratively manage project- based production. As the name suggests, the LPS engages last planners - the people ultimately responsible for getting the work done - in the planning and efficient execution of a project. LPS is designed to produce predictable workflow and rapid learning in programming, design, construction and commissioning of projects. Ardmac have successfully adopted LPS on every project, small or large since 2018 and we have seen excellent results from this.

Paper-based documentation is administration heavy, prone to human error and inconsistency can result in downtime which could have otherwise been used productively. We have implemented an online induction platform to manage the safe deployment of labour to our sites, new starts complete their training online before arriving on site. Upon arrival they are given a site orientation and their online profile is linked to a QR badge time and attendance system. This integrated approach ensures that all persons on our sites have completed the relevant training, are cleared to be there and that we have accurate digital records. This approach allows our managers to focus on delivering crucial safety messages rather than administrative tasks. Delight our Clients At Ardmac we place our clients and their needs at the centre of everything we do. Our goal is to maxmise value for our clients. Clients can access project information and performance in real-time on any mobile device. These digital processes not only improve efficiencies for Ardmac but also for our clients. They enable us to deliver projects faster while enhancing Safety and Quality. Working Smart allows us to consistently deliver across multiple sectors and geographic regions.

Managing labour on a project can be a significant challenge using traditional processes.

SAFETY FIRST THE WAY

We constantly strive to ensure that Safety in Ardmac remains much more than an organisational priority but is a value and our first guiding principle at Ardmac, defining the priorities in activities and environments, both at work and at home. We know that we must continuously improve, and foster ownership and the leadership for safety at all levels within the organisation from the CEO to the shop floor. Our common goal is to create a zero impact environment. We aim to evolve and develop new and innovate approaches to gain that extra improvement to achieve our goal of zero incidents and injuries at all our workplaces wherever they are located, In Europe, Ireland or in the UK and ensure the realisation of our core Safety First value. We believe, through our Safety First programme we can eliminate injuries and enhance people’s lives through embedding postitive attitudes and beliefs to safety, enabling them to think about safety positively and in a different way. Safety First and always is foremost in our thinking. For everyone around us, in everything we do and wherever we impact

ELLUCIAN

Ellucian is charting the digital future of higher education with a portfolio of cloud-ready technology solutions and services. Appointed on a Design & Build basis to deliver Ellucian’s aspirations for their new Dublin headquarters on the second floor of 45 Mespil Road. Construction consisted of the formation of all new rooms, installation of glazed screens, removing and exposing the ceilings, new flooring, wall and ceiling finishes along with works to the existing mechanical and electrical servicing to suit the new layout. Particular consideration was given to the acoustics both within the open plan and cellular spaces as this was a particular focus for Ellucian. During the initial stages of the project on site, lockdown occurred as a result of COVID-19 putting a halt to the programme. During this period, design and procurement continued along with the team putting in place procedures to counteract the spread of COVID-19 once the site re-opened. The adoption of our SMART innovative processes was of particular benefit to this project, ensuring open and transparent collaboration and real time information was shared with key decision makers who were largely based in the US and unable to travel due to the impact of COVID-19. Live and up to date information was available to them 24/7.

WHITNEY MOORE

Ardmac were appointed by IPUT Real Estate Dublin on behalf of Whitney Moore to complete a full strip and CAT B high end fit out. This incorporated the third and fourth floors at No. 2 Shelbourne Buildings in Ballsbridge, Dublin. The space was stripped out to grey box leaving only the raised access floor. All existing services and external finishes were removed and craned down from the 4th floor plant area. The new CAT B fit out comprises a reception area, client meeting rooms, 35 one and two person offices, open plan office areas and ancillary spaces, as well as external entertaining areas. Special bespoke features are incorporated into the fit out and include high acoustic performance in all client meeting rooms and offices, consistent with the requirements of a solicitor’s practice. Logistically, a challenging project due to working in a live building and a noise sensitive environment. Access to the floors was via an external hoist to minimise the noise impact on the sitting tenants within the building. Both the client and tenant are highly complimentary, on both the end product and the on-going positive customer experience post completion.

HOSTELWORLD

Hostelworld is the largest online hostel-booking platform sparking social experiences around the world, inspiring passionate travellers to see the world, meet new people and come back with extraordinary stories to tell. Hostelworld wanted a fresh, contemporary workspace with custom-made joinery and specialist solutions including a reception counter that doubles as a coffee shop, and a bar that is accessible from the reception. The architectural specifications on the project required a very high level of quality, and the architect was regularly present on site to confirm any setting out and design changes. This ensured that the project ran smoothly. The floors above Hostelworld’s offices were occupied throughout the project, so noisy works were scheduled out-of-hours to minimise disruption to the other occupants. The complete fit-out project comprised open-plan workspaces, cellular offices, meeting rooms, breakout areas, and tea points. A new reception was installed with a custom-made desk and feature walls with specialised joinery.

HSBC

HSBC Bank plc is a British multinational banking and financial services organisation. HSBC were looking a working partnership to assist them in consolidating staff from two floors into one, following the lease of the second floor coming to an end. Ardmac were appointed following Stage 1 of a two-stage tender. Our experience both with HSBC and the building along with our ‘no surprises’ approach throughout stage one assured our client of a go-to partner for their project. During Stage 2, Ardmac appointed DMOD Architects and METEC to assist in designing HSBC’s vision for the new space. The front of house area was reconfigured to enable more future flexibility as well as making the most of spaces whilst not in use for traditional meetings. The atrium’s new layout was designed in such a way to encourage use throughout the day and not just at peak times, with new furniture installed to accommodate both meeting and eating facilities.
