Management Structure:
DNAco’s team consisted of  Des Nixon  as the Contract Manager with Chris Bato being the Onsite Supervisor and Geoff Nixon managing the OH&S. This team worked in conjunction with Crossway’s superintendent Russell Oettinger via weekly site meetings and other standard procedures.

Site Specific Building Solutions:
The major issue relating to this site was the ongoing management of the site from the point of view of the number of visitors wanting to keep an eye on how the building was going. Crossway has a weekly congregation of approx 3,500 people.This was managed by high quality site fencing and actual points outside that fencing where people could get answers to their questions without interrupting the progress of the work.
During the planning process we found via soil tests that the last metre of the excavation was going to be in mudstone. We organised an appropriate machine from day 1 to cope with what was expected and indeed found.  

Contract Result:
The works were completed within the allotted time and to the satisfaction of all concerned. DNAco are proud to have been part of the ongoing work of this great community organisation.  
DNAco was actually further involved in management of the fit-out of the building at both levels on a cost plus basis with assistance of various forms of voluntary labour.
