Move from blank page to fully mobilisation-ready.

Overview

Most projects start under pressure. Design packages land late, the team is already mobilising, and nobody has built the systems they’ll need. MESCo sets projects up to run cleanly from the start — before a single shovel hits the ground. We translate contract and client requirements into documented, audit-ready systems that site teams can actually use and follow from Day 1.

We’ve seen it too many times: teams scrambling through the first weeks building systems on the fly, rework cascading from incomplete QA/QC setup, auditors finding gaps that could have been prevented, and retention dollars held pending documentation completion. Project Start-Up Services eliminate that chaos. Move from blank page to fully mobilisation-ready.

The Problem

Without structured systems in place before mobilisation, projects scramble through the first weeks or even months playing catch-up. Management plans don’t exist or aren’t aligned to actual project scope. Project procedures are generic, not customised. QA/QC frameworks aren’t documented. Lot registers aren’t ready. WHSMPs are cut-and-paste from old projects. Risk hasn’t been properly identified. Communication workflows are unclear. The result: delays, non-compliance and rework. Handover timelines slip. Retention dollars are held pending documentation completion.

What’s Included

• Management Plans — comprehensive project-level documentation (quality, environmental, delivery schedules) aligned to contract requirements and scope.
• Project Procedures — customised, step-by-step procedures for major activities; written for your team, your site, your conditions.
• QA/QC Frameworks — structured quality assurance and quality control processes; defines what needs to be verified, how it’s verified, and who approves.
• Lot Registers — pre-built templates for lot tracking, progression, completion, and sign-off; aligned to design specifications and project scope.
• WHS Management Plans (WHSMPs) — project-specific hazard identification, risk assessment, control measures, and emergency response procedures.
• Risk Registers — comprehensive risk assessment for project delivery, safety, environmental, and compliance; with treatment strategies and ownership.
• Controlled Document Setup — pre-configured SharePoint folder structure, naming conventions, version control process, and access permissions.
• Stakeholder Communication Plans — approval workflows, reporting cadence, escalation paths, and hold-point sign-off procedures.
• Induction & Competency Framework — role-specific training requirements, delivery methods, and competency verification records management.

How It Works

1. Discovery — We review your contract, design deliverables, specifications, client requirements, site constraints, and logistics. We engage with your team to understand mobilisation timeline and critical path dependencies.
2. System Build — We develop management plans, project procedures, QA/QC frameworks, lot registers, WHSMPs, and risk registers tailored to your project. Everything is aligned to MRWA specifications, ISO 9001/45001/14001, and client standards (RTIO, BHP, FMG, etc.).
3. Verification — All templates and plans are reviewed against contract requirements, ISO standards, and regulatory requirements. We confirm that all hold points, test schedules, and approval workflows align with client expectations.
4. Delivery — You receive a complete mobilisation pack: all documents, registers, checklists, folder structure, and access permissions. Everything is version-controlled, approved, and ready to issue to your team.
5. Handover Support — We conduct a toolbox talk or induction session with your leadership team to ensure the systems are understood and the team is confident in how to use them on site.

Deliverables

• Editable management plans (quality, environmental, health & safety)
• Customised project procedures (one per major activity)
• QA/QC frameworks and process maps
• Project-specific WHSMP
• Risk register (pre-populated with project-specific risks)
• Document Control Index with version numbering
• Stakeholder Communication Plan with approval workflows
• Induction presentation

Who It’s For

• Contractors and subcontractors mobilising to new projects who need mobilisation-ready systems from day one.
• EPCM firms preparing structured project frameworks to support multiple contractors.
• Clients assembling bids that require documented compliance frameworks to demonstrate readiness.
• Teams working to compressed timelines who require systems fast, not slowly built during execution.
