The Importance of Planning in Construction Deliverable Records
Summary
Planning with the end in sight is crucial in the delivery of all successful projects, and is especially true in the construction industry, where both the works and personnel involved can change at such a rapid pace.
It is hence crucial to ensure robust pans are in place from the outset, at planning phase of any package of works, clearly outlining the approvals and records that will be required, the time they will be produced and the processes that are in place to ensure this happens in the most efficient manner. Engagement and buy-in to this from the top down – from project managers to site engineers – is crucial in achieving these goals.
This paper uses the example of the C435 Farringdon Station contract to summarise what worked well there, and what improvements could be made on future projects to ensure this plan is even more effective.
