Why Harcon

Construction and engineering expertise through to delivery

Our assurance is grounded in practical construction and engineering experience. We work alongside project, design and delivery teams to provide the professional judgement, coordination and independent assurance needed to manage requirements through to implementation on site.

Engineering and construction experience. Practical understanding of design, engineering management, construction methodology and site delivery.
Integrated assurance. Bringing together engineering, temporary works, work package and construction assurance rather than considering each requirement in isolation.
Practical project support. Working alongside client, design and delivery teams to resolve requirements and maintain progress through the project.
Assurance through to the point of work. Providing continuity between what has been designed, reviewed and assured and what is ultimately implemented on site.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers to common questions about construction and engineering assurance.

When should construction and engineering assurance be considered?
Construction and engineering assurance should be considered where a project requires additional technical oversight, coordination or independent assurance across design, engineering, temporary works, construction methodology or site delivery. Early involvement can help identify requirements and interfaces before they become constraints during construction.
Can Harcon fulfil CEM and CRE roles?
Yes. Harcon can provide competent CEM and CRE support appropriate to the project requirements, including coordination of engineering activities, design and construction interfaces, technical assurance and implementation through delivery.
How does Harcon support temporary works?
Harcon supports the coordination and assurance of temporary works from design development through to implementation, including design interfaces, technical reviews, assurance requirements and integration with the construction methodology and permanent works.

Where specialist temporary works design or delivery capability is required, we can engage and coordinate appropriate supply chain partners, with Harcon providing oversight and assurance throughout the process.
Can Harcon work alongside our existing project team?
Yes. Harcon can provide a defined piece of consultancy, fulfil a specialist project role or work alongside existing client, design and delivery teams where additional expertise, capacity or independent assurance is required.
