At Goss Coatings, we have established ourselves as specialists in hygienic wall cladding and coatings, delivering exceptional results across various sectors, including healthcare, education, pharmaceuticals, government, and food production.
Our extensive experience working with Tier 1 contractors has refined our expertise, allowing us to bring the same level of quality, control, efficiency, and professionalism to our partnerships across these tiers:
- Tier 1 Construction Contractors – Involved in the largest, most complex strategic national projects.
- Tier 2 Construction Contractors – Undertaking medium-sized and smaller construction projects.
- Tier 3 Specialist Contractors – Focusing on a specific sector or project delivery methodology.
By understanding how Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 firms approach projects, manage workflows, and integrate their specialised skills into larger builds, we ensure smooth collaboration and successful project delivery.
In this article, the first in a series of three, we focus on our approach to working with Tier 2 Contractors.
Understanding the Approach of Tier 2 Contractors
Tier 2 contractors are integral to construction projects, focusing on specific aspects while ensuring compliance with industry regulations and safety standards. More than just specialised subcontractors, they operate with structured processes, careful resource management, and detailed scheduling to align their work with the broader project timeline. In many cases, Tier 2 contractors undertake complete construction projects from plan through to build.
At Goss Environmental Coatings, we understand the importance of integrating seamlessly with these workflows, ensuring our installations fit into their schedules and complement their expertise. By recognising their approach to project planning, document control, and coordination with other trades, we can work effectively alongside them, supporting efficient and high-quality project completion.
Quality of Work and Specialist Expertise
With over 37 years of experience in installing hygienic coatings, hygienic cladding, and wall protection, we are true specialists in our field. Our in-depth knowledge of products, materials, and techniques enables us to provide the right solutions for every project. Quality is at the heart of what we do, and we work hard to deliver a 5-star service and flawless installations for Tier 2 construction companies.
We employ our own team leaders for installations, ensuring continuity, expertise, and accountability. Many of them have been with us for years and hold up-to-date certifications, guaranteeing that every project benefits from their experience and commitment to quality.
Efficiency and Project Management
Efficiency is essential in the construction industry, and we take every measure to keep projects running smoothly. Our dedicated operations team tracks progress, keeps projects on budget, and quickly adapts to any challenges, such as delays caused by other trades. By closely monitoring each phase, we ensure that our work is completed on time without compromising on quality.
We also run a rigorous and comprehensive estimating process to provide realistic and transparent pricing upfront. By working closely with our Tier 2 construction clients to refine quotes, we ensure that each project receives the most suitable solution at the right cost.
Commitment to Health, Safety, and Compliance
At Goss Coatings, health and safety are paramount. We maintain an outstanding safety record and hold CHAS Advanced accreditation. In partnership with Akeva Safety, we implement stringent safety protocols, including bespoke risk assessment and method statements for every job.
As a Constructionline Gold and CHAS accredited contractor, we have been rigorously vetted for financial stability, technical capability, and compliance with industry standards. This not only simplifies the vetting process for our clients but also provides assurance of our reliability and competence.
To further ensure safety and efficiency on-site, our equipment is regularly PAT tested and meticulously maintained. We also provide on-site working supervisors, health and safety visits, management progress meetings, briefings, and operative inductions to uphold the highest safety and quality standards throughout every project.
Comprehensive Reporting and Transparent Communication
Clear communication is key to successful project execution. We offer structured reporting lines to keep all stakeholders informed, providing weekly progress updates and RAG (Red, Amber, Green) activity schedules upon request. This level of transparency allows for proactive decision-making and efficient resolution of potential issues before they impact the project timeline.
In addition to regular updates, we provide tailored Operations and Maintenance manuals, ensuring that clients have all necessary documentation for ongoing maintenance and compliance after project completion.
