Reduce 50% of Construction Cost Questionnaire
BIM
Costs initially but makes future savings
Don't need specific software / help from outside
Records and manages information
Easier to find info as standardized
Currently poor state of asset data records
Levels tailored to size and complexity
Less benefit on smaller projects?
Added benefit of one client and multiple contractors etc
Allows collaborative working
All of industry must adopt
Not enough suppliers/contractors use it?
HOW MANY UNDERSTAND BIM?
64% YES
32% MAYBE
4% NO
PREFAB
Ave 4.15 (47)
Less time required to build
Less cost
Reduces H+S risks
Less cost
Ethical responsibility
Job specific
Good for new installations
Every project is individual
Technical designs less likely
Already prefab for pipes etc.
STANDARDISATION
REASONABLE TO IMPLEMENT?
70% YES
30% NO
DRONES
Uses
Site progress
Survey above ground
Limited use below ground which is where main uncertainties lie
Working at a height
Reduce H+S risks
Identify animal presence
Long distances
Remote/tricky places
Security
Ave 3.85 (47)
Faster response time
However restricted flight time
Can be linked to BIM
REASONABLE TO IMPLEMENT?
64% YES
34% MAYBE
2% NO
ADDITIONAL IDEAS
SUB-/CONTRACTORS/CONSULTANTS
Selection and management
Competitive tendering
Don't compromise quality
Reduce time with consultants - focus on contractors
EMPLOYEE POWER
Encourage opinions of all employees in all processes
Incentives to encourage innovation
Learning and knowledge share across Framework
Encourage trust between client and contractor
SOFTWARE
3D virtual construction
Improve GIS info
Database of unused plants/materials so other contractors can use
Reduces waste
PROCESS
More time for discussion and optioneering
Also for planning, risk management and design
Streamline processes with Frameworks
"Just in time" method
LEAN methods
DON'T RUSH DESIGN

EASIER EVERYDAY TASKS
Better understanding of costs
Consider at an early stage
Part. to non-work/preliminary costs
Use BIM
Accurate and readily available information
Part. of assets
Shared information - all parties involved
Input information once
Consolidate multiple systems
Time management
Streamline programmes to increase efficiency
Realistic time allowances
Don't rush I&D
Allows for optioneering
Solves cause not symptom
Improved communication
Between client and contractors
Direct engagement of specialist contractors and suppliers
Greater initial scope of project
Project Managers
Follow through project till end
Right people involved into project as early as possible
ADDITIONAL COSTS
Design change/Scope creep
From previously unknown/incorrect information
Inadequate design
Unknown Cirumstances
Obstructions
Ground conditions
Clashes with drawings
Buried services
Inefficient planning
Risk management
Investigation
Execution of construction
Working practise
Inefficient Communication
Not understanding clients needs
Root not symptom
Leads to errors and rework
Resources
Lack of skills/labour available
Extended programmes causing:
Increase material costs
Increased plant costs
Temp works
ADDITIONAL DELAYS
Weather
Unforseen issues
GROUND
Ineffective risk management
Insufficient resources
Approval delays
Changes to design
Inconsistencies w designs
Ineffective communication
