RAYNEAU CREATES WITH THE HEART AND BUILDS WITH THE MIND - A LOOK INTO IT'S CONSISTENCY FOR TOP QUALITY WORK!.

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives, the cumulative experience of many masters of craftsmanship.

While reading a few comments about Rayneau's quality of work on the Dominica Marigot Hospital posted on Rayneau Construction and Industrial Products Facebook page  I was more than inspired to write this piece.

The comments:-

Kenneth Gajadhar: Shame. St.Lucia isn't willing to give you the same cooperation as that received with Dominica. Keep the quality of workmanship one of your mainstays.

 Mauricia Thomas-Francis: Lucian Pride! Keep doing your thing Rayneau...

Dale David: It feels my heart with pride to know that one of our own st Lucian can deliver such quality work  Congratulations  to Mr Rayneau Gajadhar and his team, keep making us proud at home  and abroad well done 

Selah Kleys: Great team work, finish looks brillant.

Anyone reading these comments has to ask themselves, “What magic does Rayneau Gajadhar use which enables his company to consistently deliver  such high quality of workmanship? There is no magic there my friend! Dare to know? Read on to find out!!!!

For starters, Mr Gajadhar takes pride in doing his work. You can take that to the bank!!! And to gain that boasting right, he practices quality work in the projects his company undertake. How?  

      Simply, Rayneau Creates with the Heart and Builds with the Mind!

Rayneau is confident that he can deliver quality work within schedule given the labour shortage that’s wrapping the construction industry. He is able to do so by subcontracting, using modular construction, and implementing technology like project management software and construction crew management software, processes at the site can be streamlined while work quality is ensured.

But these are not all. Let’s look at some more strategies the company employs that enhance the quality of work in his construction projects:-

1. Before writing the project plan, Rayneau has a complete understanding of the standards and specifications set by the client and his team. These standards reflect on the results of the plan the company make. Rayneau also brainstorms with the stakeholders on how each standard and specification can be met and work closely with the client’s architects and engineers when writing the plan.

2. Mr Gajadhar discusses fully and in detail the quality requirements of the project  with his crew members so they’ll know why their schedule and set of tasks are designed that way. The Team Leader continually hammers home that poor quality work won’t be accepted, sets high standards from the start and encourages his crew members to take pride in their work

3. Through years of experience the boss is able to hire workers that are enthusiastic and willing to prosper in the work. He encourages his team to undergo training so they can level up their skills. Investing time and money on the right training has benefited the company  as workers can apply what they’ll learn at work to improve their work quality.

4. Our Team leader NEVER condones low quality work in spite of tight schedules. Doing so, Mr Gajadhar is of the view that crew members will then start thinking that substandard work is acceptable as long as the deadline is met. He never allows poor quality work on his projects.

5. Daily project progress monitoring is one of Rayneau’s strong points when it comes to quality work. It’s easy to miss out on instruction when working at the site, most especially when the team is placed under pressure because of the deadline. But Rayneau has made it a rule to have crew members report any errors committed at the site. Company engineers believe that when they look away and ignore these mistakes, all other processes that come next will lead to bigger mistakes. Results are always checked.

6. The company ensures scheduled testing from time to time.  It makes it a regular part of its quality control. The tests are carried out after each milestone to see whether the structure is in compliance with the client’s standards and specifications. 

  7. The company believes in the thought that the materials used is an important factor which determines the quality of the work. Engineers with Rayneau make no bones about the quality of material used on projects.  Joshi, a project manager with Construction and Industrial Equipment Ltd (CIE) says,”No matter how skillful the project team is when the materials used are of low quality, the end result still won’t be as good.” That said, CIE uses  reputable suppliers like RG Quarry and Rayneau Construction and Industrial Products (RCIP) who can deliver quality materials that have the right specifications for the project.

          8. Rayneau knows that every project will be made up of phases so for every phase finished, the work is protected   to prevent rework caused by damages inflicted by careless people at the site.  This is done by placing signages around the area you need to protect so that your crew members will be reminded that they are prohibited from going near the newly finished phase.

The company knows that mistakes can be avoided through proper planning, efficient construction crew management, and regular progress tracking. However, and like we mentioned before, there will issues that can arise because of unexpected situations at the site. For instance, weather disturbances make it difficult to predict the right drying condition and time of concrete. 

9. Since it’s almost unavoidable, the company never ignores mistakes and act on them immediately so that it can go on with other parts of the building correctly too.

10. Rayneau Documents everything about each project.  To make work easier, the company prepares checklists containing things that need to be accomplished in a day, the resources to be used, and possible issues encountered that foremen can simply tick.

Finally, Mr Gajadhar agrees that documentation is very important for  his company as it expands its business. The team leader is aware that previous project data helped in writing better plans on the next job order as well in strategizing for more workable schedules and estimates. All these lead to the work quality Rayneau is noted for, both at home and within the Region.
