Business as (Un)usual

Harding Construction is back in action! We were pleased to be back in full swing with the change to Alert Level 3 on April 28, 2020 and are enjoying increased productivity and efficiency at Alert Level 2.

These are no ordinary times, so we are conducting business as (un)usual.

New Zealand has entered a period where there’s a new ‘normal’. The way society operates will be different – and together, we can make it great.

How does that affect Harding Construction?

Unusual Offices: We are practising safe social distancing protocols. All visitors to our offices need to complete the Contact Tracing form on arrival and maintain safe distances whilst on site.

We can be contacted by phone and email and will conduct ‘contactless’ meetings via Zoom or Skype whenever practicable.

Unusual Sites: We want our sites to be safe for everyone. That means taking extra safety precautions in this new post-lockdown environment. These will affect everyone working on or visiting our sites. We have developed specific procedures for ensuring excellent health and safety practices, and including:

  • Restricted site access

  • Site management procedures

  • Covid-19-appropriate PPE

  • Safe working distances

  • Sanitary work areas

  • Effective contact tracing

Expect the Unusual: Our goal is still to finish our projects on time, on budget, with no surprises.

The post-lockdown environment will bring new challenges - and new opportunities. Working with our clients and trade partners we will implement new ways of operating to ensure the success of our projects in this ‘new normal’ environment. We are excited about South Canterbury’s future.

Let’s get building!
