Wuhan Hospital, China

Kenny Telfer: Created page with "Images of a timelapse have been spread all over social media and news outlets in February 2020 as China have built a new hospital facility in around 2 weeks from scratch. Severa..."

Images of a timelapse have been spread all over social media and news outlets in February 2020 as China have built a new hospital facility in around 2 weeks from scratch.

Several news outlets are reporting that the facility has around 1,000-bed capacity and was designed, procured and built-in this timescale.

It is more likely that the hospital facility is part of a larger state-run emergency action plan which has been sitting designed on a shelf especially for such an event after the last SARs virus outbreak in China.

Regardless if the design is included in the timescale, its an amazing feat to build such a scale of off-site modular buildings in such a short space of time, and questions are now being asked about why this is not being implemented across the construction industry. The concept is not new, and the Egan Report and Latham report both attempted to resolve issues with wastage in the construction industry.

Further studies will no doubt be carried out on the back of these buildings construction successful timescales to see what lessons are learned to improve construction timescales globally.

Cost Value Reconciliations (CVR)

2015-11-07T22:51:13Z

Kenny Telfer:

Cost Value Reconciliations are carried out in order to monitor and measure expenditure against budget on construction projects.

A measurement of the actual costs involved in a project are compared against the value of the works including profit to show a bottom line, in a similar way to a balance sheet for a company.

They are typically used by contractors to measure profitability and are reported to the management team, usually around the time of interim valuation of the works completed to date, and again at completion of the final account.

They can also be used to inform the management team of the bottom line on a project when negotiating final accounts.
