HOW WE WORK

Client Engagement and Consultation

We ensure our clients are informed and consulted throughout the entire process; involved and engaged in the decision-making process early on, to shape infrastructure that meets end user needs and provides a material socio-economic benefit.

Opportunity Identification
We seek to leave a positive legacy and support economic activity through the projects that we develop. To do so, we pursue opportunities where we feel we can add value and make a difference to the end user. We engage with clients, lenders, banks and local stakeholders to seek their feedback, explore ways in which we can optimise the initial concept and effectively structure a project from the outset. As part of our opportunity identification we carry out high level environmental and social screening of the project to identify key non-technical impacts and risk that need to be considered in the Go/No-Go process as well as future studies, planning and designs.
Engineering & Design
QGMI UK acts as a one-stop shop where clients can rely on us to offer a complete package that meets their requirements. We listen closely to clients, exploring ways in which we can provide them the optimal solution that addresses all project dimensions, including sustainability, best technical solution, bankability and the needs of end users. To achieve this, we invest in engineering and design studies from an early stage of project development. Clients are provided with a detailed Scope of Work, allowing them to get a good feel for our vision of their project and to provide their input early on, even before the contract becomes effective. Having previously carried out our initial screening of environmental and social (E&S) risks during the opportunity identification stage, we propose options and solutions that help to effectively mitigate these impacts and enhance the benefits through design.
Procurement and Partnerships

QGMI provides an integrated procurement service offering that includes contract management, purchasing, inspection, quality control, logistics and materials management for small- and large-scale infrastructure and public services. Clients with complex infrastructure projects and programmes count on QGMI to secure a cost-effective and reliable supply chain and procurement process as part of its delivery.

QGMI UK treats its suppliers and contractors as partners in developing sustainable projects. We continuously seek to form long-lasting partnerships with well-established and dynamic businesses within the UK construction and infrastructure sector to add value to our projects.

As a UK-based company, we want to leverage the quality, reliability and knowhow of small, medium and large UK businesses in the design, engineering, construction, procurement and commissioning of our projects. By forming long-term partnerships with our UK suppliers, we ensure our clients receive a final product that is of a high standard, delivered responsibly at a fair cost.

QGMI UK’s supply chain is centered around developing relationships with the best suppliers in the areas of innovation, compliance, quality and sustainability. To accomplish this, we are looking for suppliers that are keen to grow their exports and expand into new markets. If you wish to register your interest in becoming a QGMI supplier or service provider, please complete our dedicated Supplier Registration Form and we will be in touch as soon as we can.

Structuring Finance for Projects

As part of our comprehensive package of services, we can work with clients to secure a structured financing solution that suits their needs.

We do this by leveraging the relationships we have developed with financial institutions, including local and international commercial banks, private banks, export credit agencies and multilaterals.

We believe this is a key differentiator of our service offering, helping clients to secure the credit facilities they need, to balance competing demands on their spending.

As part of this, we are also able to coordinate the environmental and social studies and requirements that might be a pre-condition to accessing financing for a project.

Construction

For each project we put in place a dedicated and experienced team to deliver construction to the required standards. Our teams typically include a project manager, contracts manager, planning and production engineers, surveyors, foremen, maintenance and support staff, including human resources and heath, safety, environment and quality management.

At the construction stage, we seek to hire workers locally where the skills are available. We see this as an opportunity to enhance the skills and job prospects of local workers, mindful that construction projects have fixed terms. We deliver technical training and coaching to workers throughout construction.

Projects considered to be complex or to have impact on the local community have in place a dedicated Community Liaison Officer to engage and maintain a two-way dialogue with affected communities.

Our projects have a strong Quality Management System, with onsite laboratory analysis where needed, to ensure that our deliverables meet clients’ standards.

Commissioning and Knowledge Transfer

QGMI UK seeks to leave a positive legacy beyond its short-term involvement in a project.

Depending on the technical nature of a project, QGMI UK’s commissioning service can include the delivery of a bespoke knowledge transfer programme and provision of the necessary operational training to ensure the client’s team can fully realise the benefits and utility of their project; being able to correctly operate and carry out maintenance to prolong the life of the asset.

Where the client requests it, a knowledge transfer programme can also have a broader application, such as supporting the client to develop a management system to improve overall risk management or supporting them to meet lender environmental and social requirements.

Handover of the Project to the End-User
We seek to provide a smooth handover to the end user, with the provision of all necessary information and records to enable them to operate the asset or service sustainably and independently.

Post Delivery Services
We offer post-delivery services that are tailored to the type of project and its technical complexity. Projects typically have a guarantee period during which any snagging can be addressed.

CLIENT ENGAGEMENT
AND CONSULTATION

We ensure our clients are informed and consulted throughout the entire process and involved and engaged in the decision-making process since its early stages to guarantee that the infrastructure shaped meets end users’ expectations and provides them with a material socio-economic benefit.

Gestão Integrada de Resíduos

Na QGMI, prevemos adotar uma abordagem integrada de gestão de resíduos, avaliando os seus diferentes fluxos e adotando uma abordagem para os gerir. Os nossos resíduos orgânicos são separados e tratados por compostagem, e o resultado final desta gestão dos resíduos orgânicos pode ser reutilizado nos nossos projetos de reflorestação.

Sistema de Controlo GPS

Utilizamos uma tecnologia GPS para aumentar a nossa produtividade nos processos de movimentação de terras e nivelamento. Este sistema de controlo permite que os operadores nivelem com maior precisão e rapidez, resultando numa maior produtividade, custos operacionais mais baixos e num trabalho bem feito.

SAE (Sistema de Apropriação Eletrónica)

O Sistema de Apropriação Eletrónica foi desenvolvido internamente pela equipa de TI, com o objetivo de monitorizar em tempo real o desenvolvimento das atividades e horas de trabalho dos colaboradores e das equipas, reduzindo o tempo de acesso aos indicadores de desempenho para a tomada de decisões estratégicas. O sistema, que está disponível em português, inglês e espanhol, funciona através de um smartphone através da leitura de códigos QR colados nos equipamentos e nas credenciais dos trabalhadores. Funciona mesmo quando não há Internet disponível, uma vez que os dados podem ser armazenados na memória do telefone e transferidos quando existe um sinal de rede Wi-Fi ou 4G. Melhora a gestão dos custos, o controlo da produtividade e contribui para a sustentabilidade ambiental.
