Currently John,a chartered civil engineer,employed two teams.Each team comprised a team leader,digger driver and three qualified builders.When working on large developments the two teams would work on site together,but be responsible for different aspects of the site development.For instance,in road development,one team would concentrate on road production whilst the other team concentrated on bridges or pathways,depending on the design specification.
Neil agreed with John that,from a business perspective,a merger of the two companies could be beneficial in a number of ways:
The merger would primarily be beneficial because the engineers would have the formal authority to manage the construction staff.At the moment,as designers,there was an informal acceptance that the design engineer was in charge of a given project on site.A merger would help clarify this relationship.
John’s firm was based out of town and,in addition to the space for his equipment,he had a large office that would cope with the additional staff from Barbour Brown.In the past,engineering consultants had always preferred to be based in town centres.This was mainly to allow clients easy access to the engineers.As a result of new technology and computer networks,design communication tended to be done through phone calls and e- mail.It was very rarely that clients visited the offices.When meetings were essential,these tended to take place either on site or at the client’s main office.The building that housed the offices of Barbour Brown was in a prime town location that could be re- developed.Aware of this potential,Neil was eager to give the merger his full consideration.
In addition to the re-location,John also has a small,but efficient,administration team that handles reception,secretarial support,accounts and wages.Again,savings could be made by reducing the administration costs currently incurred by having two administration sections.Neil was aware that the merger,should it go ahead,would create some redundancies.
Although not always keen to make major changes,David did agree that,since their business needed re-structured,the merger would provide the ideal reason for making changes to the current method of working,and the proposal to merge should go ahead.
