=== O&Ms: The Problem With Procuring Late ===

On a typical construction project, the main contractor has between 30 – 40 subcontractors to procure and manage. Procurement is largely driven by the construction plan which means an [https://www.createmaster.co.uk/operation-maintenance-manuals/ O&M] provider is often appointed late in the project.

This creates a problem as the time it takes to collate and review 30 – 40 [https://www.createmaster.co.uk/operation-maintenance-manuals/ O&M] submissions should not be underestimated. Condensing this activity into a few weeks or months before PC gives the contractor, supply chain and [https://www.createmaster.co.uk/operation-maintenance-manuals/ O&M] provider little time to manage the task properly.

Ultimately, this can lead to project delays or the risk of incomplete O&Ms at PC.

=== Issues With Late Engagement ===

* Added cost for O&Ms not previously budgeted for
* Trades already left site and fully paid
* No standardisation across O&M submissions
* Increased pressure on site teams close to PC
* Risk of missing or incomplete [https://www.createmaster.co.uk/operation-maintenance-manuals/ O&M] submissions
* Unhappy end client

“Through early integration and involvement with the project team, Createmaster understood clearly both the Client aspirations and the scope of the sub-contract packages allowing them to manage the whole process. Early involvement with the project team facilitated the development of a solution to integrate the O&M database with the 3D model and meet Client aspirations”.

Project Manager – Sir Robert McAlpine

Why Procuring O&Ms Early Makes Sense

Procuring the O&M package early in the project, makes everybody’s life easier, as the dedicated O&M provider can manage the supply chain in line with the construction plan.

O&M templates can be included in trade contracts to ensure a standardised format is followed. Managing trades as they start on site gives enough time to conduct a thorough review process and makes sure a complete and accurate set of O&Ms is delivered at PC.

The end result is less stress for the main contractor at handover and a happy client with all the information needed to run and maintain their building safely and effectively.

=== Benefits of Early Engagement ===

* Cost certainty – a realistic budget for O&Ms in the cost plan
* O&M templates in contract documents
* Free up valuable site resource
* Trades managed as and when they start on site
* Plenty of time to conduct a thorough [https://www.createmaster.co.uk/operation-maintenance-manuals/ O&M] review
* Smooth, pain free handover at PC
* Happy client with a complete and accurate as built record

=== To summarise: ===

At Createmaster, we avoid working on projects with less than three months until practical completion. Why? Because it is a near impossible task to manage a full supply chain in such a condensed time frame.

Appoint an [https://www.createmaster.co.uk/operation-maintenance-manuals/ O&M] provider at the start of the project and gain the full benefits of early engagement – a fully managed process delivering a complete and accurate as built record at PC.
