Achievement of optimum project runtimes through the use of serial and modular construction
The tendering process in practice
In this issue, we look at how to achieve optimum time savings through the use of serial and modular construction methods and the challenges that can arise.
TENDERING PROCESS: CONVENTIONAL -THEORY
The manufacturer's work planning/execution planning begins immediately after completion of the project planning. The existing plans are used as a basis for the preparation of the work planning/execution planning. After plan approval, prefabrication begins, followed by assembly.
Tendering process: conventional - theory
TENDERING PROCESS: CONVENTIONAL -PRACTICE
In practice, it often happens that the current planning status has to be adapted to the construction system, e.g. bidder discussions can drag on and the planned completion date is delayed.
“The devil is in the detail”
TENDERING PROCESS: COOPERATIVE PLANNING TEAM
To avoid this, it is necessary to involve the manufacturer at an early stage, as every construction system is different.
By involving a manufacturer at an early stage, it is possible to save an enormous amount of time in the planning and implementation phase. To this end, it is advisable to set up a cooperative planning team.
For a variety of reasons, many clients are tied to standard award processes or do not want to commit to a “system” at an early stage.
For this reason, there are various options for setting up a cooperative planning team - with manufacturer input - SMART.
“Together instead of against each other!”
In general, serial and modular construction methods offer the opportunity to save time and resources, but can also present complex challenges. Choosing the right approach depends on the specific requirements and objectives of the project.
