| 1. Mission: | | 1. The company has a mission to build people who build advanced tools that build buildings - people are paramount with advanced tools to maximise productivity. |
| 2. Critial Success Factors (CSF): | | 1. "Financial Accounts" and cash flow in particular is managed in the most professional way using advanced tools to minimise costs and eliminate errors. | | 2. "Projects" are managed using an advanced quality management service with information shared between client and supplier. | | 3. "Asset" management using advance track and trace tools to avoid lost equipment, to eliminate missed inspections and to create documentary evidence. |
| 3. Unique Selling Proposition (USP): | | 1. "Cost" has been mimimised to what is sustaiable by eliminating overheads and by deploying very high levels of automation to manage project cash flow on a daily basis. | | 2. "Time" has been minimised by using very high levels of automation to schedule just-in-time delivery of equipment, supplies and manpower. | | 3. "Quality" is exceptional and can be demonstrated to be exceptional with shared online business information so all parties are fully informed and nothing can be overlooked. |
| 4. Key Performance Indicators (KPI): | | 1. A very large number of very small projects creates a more stable business than a very small number of very large projects. | | 2. The largest project undertaken should never be greater than five percent of the business. | | 3. .... |

| 11. Business Model Policy: | | 1. Digital Open Book Acounts (OBA) for every project is a core part of the business model so the customer gets the outcomes they deserve. | | 2. The customer is not always right because some factors take priority including: | | (1) Health and Safety of the people involved is paramount. | | (2) Privacy and Security of the information involved is paramount. | | (3) Legal and Ethical procedures and culture is paramount. | | 3. The company will not use bankruptcy as a way not to pay people. This means every project must has a viable funding plan and the project accounts must not be permitted to go into debt. When a project open book account gets towards zero, the project stops because nobody wants to work on a project and not get paid. Their is not enough days in a lifetime for a person to spend time on a project that will end in failure because of inadequate accounting. | | 4. Example: | | A house foundation slab is quoted as costing 50,000 GBP. The customer may pay the 50,000 pounds or may borrow the 50,000 pounds to pay for the project to be undertaken. It cannot be the role of the contractor to become a banker and fund the customers house foundation slab. The contractor skilled to construct a house foundation slab is not a skilled banker and does not have business insurance to take on such a funding liability. The contractor does not have the skills to undertake due dilligence to assess if the customer can afford to pay for the house foundation slab. To undertake a project for a customer who does not have the resources to pay for the project is illegal and not ethical. |
| 12. Privacy-by-Design Policy: | | 1. General Data Privacy Regulations (GDPR) demand that a company must deploy privacy-by-design methods such as pseudonymisation and encryption. | | 2. The company has chosen to eliminate the risk and threat of a reportable data breach by changing from the good-old-ways of working and embracing privacy-by-design. | | 3. No application program is permitted to be downloaded and installed on any computing device - all application programs have vulnerabilities and will leak data - even Microsoft cannot make Office work without monthly patching of data leaks that have been used by criminals. | | 4. No server is permitted to execute any application program - not even an antivirus program can be executed because the majority of anti-virus programs steal data. | | 5. No email computer is permitted to be connected to the same network as a business computer - the majority of emails are data leaks and must be used with extreme caution. | | 6. All business data is encrypted and replicated to a large number of secure data centres - not just some data, but 100% of all business data is encrypted. | | 7. Every encryption method ever invented has eventually been cracked, but many layers of encryption using many different methods and salted with fake data may be beyond the capabilities of criminals to decrypt. | | 8. GDPR recommends pseudonymisation and this can be designed with one-time tokens that cannot be reverse engineered by any method. | | 9. By design, critical data such as a persons name can be fragmented into many parts and each part replaced with an encrypted token and the stored data fragmented into may different stored locations. | | 10. Blockchain has proven to be uncrackable for more than a decade and when a blockchain is replicated to more than 100,000 secure data centres, the threat of loosing any data becomes zero and the possibility of a criminal to corrupt any data becomes zero. | | 11. No computer that is connected to the Internet is permitted to be connected to any other computer. | | 12. No local computer is permitted to store any business data - every 24 hours the computer disk is initialized to its configured defaults. | | 13. Every email must by law be copied and retained by every email server where that data may be processed and sold to other parties, so no email is permitted to contain any private, confidential or sensitive business information. Email is only fit to communicate personal information that has already been stolen and published. |
| 13. Digital Automation Policy: | | 1. It would be fair to say that the construction industry has not yet embraced the current digital automation age where productivity is dramatically increased. | | 2. The whole of the construction back office can be fully automated with open book accounting as an online service shared with customers. | | 3. Lots of specialist robots are needed to move things between designated places in each site. Robots that carry things shall include elevators to place things on different levels and for working at height. | | 4. Security will be improved by using lots of CCTV cameras to record all work in real time. This will cause all equipment to be treated with respect and will reduce theft. CCTV evidence will replace the occasional photo of a hole that was excavated or a wall that was removed. | | 5. Robots shall replace the use of hand tools and shall eliminate HAV health issues. The majority of accidents will be avoided when robots replace hand tools for drilling, screwing and nailing. |
| 14. Organisation Structure: | | 1. The company exists solely for the benefit of its shareholders. Shareholders may work for and may be shareholders of more than one independent company. | | 2. Each shareholder is a Director and Employee with no fixed salary, but may be rewarded with dividends when applicable. | | 3. The company exists with no fixed assets because all equipment needed for a project is hired for that project or purchased and written off as a cost-of-sale. The cost of insuring, reparing and storing fixed asset equipment with adequate survelence makes owning fixed assets not cost effective. | | 4. The company will contract and pay subcontractors on an hourly rate that is paid weekly based on time sheets. The company will pay subcontractors reasonable expenses that are wholly and necessarily purchased for the benefit of the company. | | 5. The company is responsible for and will collect CIS taxes that are paid to HMRC on a monthly basis. | | 6. The company is responsible for and will accrue and pay VAT taxes that are paid to HMRC on a quarterly basis. | | 7. The company operates a null monthly payroll with a null report to HMRC. | | 8. The company is responsible for its annual report to HMRC and Companies House with corporation taxes paid on any profits. An objective of the company is to balance income and outgoing on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis so Directors loans to the company are minimised and the balance tends towards zero. | | 9. The company shall NOT take on liabilities such as a bank loan, but Directors may loan the company funds to complete a project. Directors loans shall be repaid as soon as the company has the funds to make repayments. | | 10. The company shall not make any loans to a Director because this could impact on the dividends paid to other Directors. | | 11. By design, the company is purposefully structured so it cannot be bought, cannot be sold, cannot be sued and will survive for the long term by minimising assets and liabilities. |
| 15. Expense Policy: | | 1. Directors of the company are expected to visit customer premises, supplier premises and client work places on a regular basis. Directors normal place of work is the registered London head office to deal with daily telephone, post and email correspondence. Directors may also work at home as a normal place of work. When Directors are not at their normal place of work are said to be "on-the-road" to visit customers, suppliers and clients. | | 2. Directors will make trips using public transport and their private vehicle. | | 3. Public transport costs will be reimbursed as weekly expenses with reasonable receipts. | | 4. Private vehicle costs will be reimbursed as weekly expenses in accordance with HMRC regulations such as forty-three pence per mile for the first eight-thousand miles. | | 5. Food and drink costs will be reimbursed as weekly expenses with reasonale receipts. Entertainment costs shall not be paid and must not be claimed. | | 6. Subsistence costs for food and drink without a receipt will be reimbursed as weekly expenses in accordance with HMRC regulations such as up to five pounds per meal. Directors on-the-road before 08:00 may claim breakfast. Directors on-the-road between 12:00 and 14:00 may claim lunch. Directors on-the-road after 18:00 may claim an evening meal. | | 7. Directors are provided with and are expected to wear their company uniform when on-the-road and visiting customers, suppliers and clients. Directors are responsible to keep their company uniform in a clean and tidy condition. Directors may claim reasonable cleaning and laundry costs as weekly expenses. |
