The Institution of Civil Engineers:

The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a charity and international membership organisation established to foster and promote the art and science of civil engineering. It was founded in 1818 and was granted a royal charter in 1828. Its head office is at One Great George Street in Westminster, London, and it represents more than 86,000 members worldwide.

As well as supporting its members to become qualified, it also encourages them to continue their professional development by providing a variety of knowledge resources. These include industry-leading publications and tailored training courses.

In September 2015 ICE became a sponsor of Designing Buildings Wiki. ICE's Director of Engineering Knowledge, Nathan Baker, said, “ICE is the world's oldest engineering institution, established nearly 200 years ago. Our knowledge base is rich and diverse, and as a Learned Society, fostering and sharing this knowledge through a variety of resources sits at the heart of what we do. It encourages innovation and excellence in the industry – and ultimately benefits society."

Designing Buildings Wiki Chairman David Trench CBE said, “ICE are a vital addition to our family of high-profile supporters, helping us become a truly comprehensive knowledge base, representative of the whole construction industry."

Open data - how can it aid the development of the construction industry?

2018-06-11T11:01:46Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

[[File:Bigdata.jpg|link=File:Bigdata.jpg]]

= Background =

In 2014, the BRE Trust commissioned 'Open & Big Data in Construction', a study undertaken by BRE in collaboration with Generation for Change (G4C, part of Constructing Excellence). This project set out to discuss, and identify solutions to, the barriers currently slowing the use of open data and big data within the built environment. The study looked to demonstrate the potential benefits that collecting, managing, analysing and releasing data can have on a range of organisations within the construction sector.

One of the most prominent barriers identified during the study was that those who are relatively new to the area often feel overwhelmed by the technical language used. Subsequently, this report also looks to simplify wording and clearly explain some of the most important issues. The main objective from this study is to raise awareness of the benefits that data utilisation can offer, and simultaneously increase the level of data literacy along the supply chain. A combination of structured interviews, as well as debate events have been undertaken to stimulate widespread opinion, as well as to provide expert knowledge on this area.

This is the third and final article in the series.

= Introduction =

The government's Construction 2025 industrial strategy suggested that the UK planning process needs to be reformed, otherwise many investors will continue to choose other opportunities that face fewer the risks.

With the current planning process proving very time consuming, and with continuing planning authority budget cuts, planners are under a huge amount of pressure to assess applications within a reasonable time scale. It is important therefore that this process is simplified as much as possible.This study was intended to better understand how the planning process could be improved through the use of data, and so the risks seen by investors reduced.

Tom Brown, Geography and Property Information Manager at Lambeth Council, describes the planning process as quite opaque to those applying.

It was felt by Brown that it would be a great first step to put a standardised method of publishing information surrounding planning applications in place, as currently there are over 600 local authorities within the UK, with many taking different views. This is not only costly, but it also makes it extremely difficult for anyone to analyse. The standardisation of information at a local level is already taking place in other fields, it could be ideal if something similar were able to take place within planning.

During discussions, Brown also identified several areas where the collection and management of data could help applicants within the planning process. One which stood out was the potential to demonstrate consideration for the local community. Currently, a large number of the complaints made by local residents in relation to developments, are regarding issues related to noise and dust.

With this in mind, it would be sensible for contractors to record the amount of noise and dust that is being produced on all of their sites. This would allow developers to understand which sites, and site processes, were producing the most noise and dust and would enable them to put in place measures that could help to reduce this impact. Furthermore, if excessive noise and dust is a concern for the planning authority, a developer could use this data to illustrate how noise and dust levels appear on their sites. The more evidence a planner has in their possession the more automated their decision becomes.

It is examples like this which demonstrate the wide range of possibilities that data collection, management and analysis can have in the construction industry.

Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Chairman and Co-Founder of the Open Data Institute (ODI), explains that geospatial data (data that contains a geographical location) will be vital in the way we plan and develop our future infrastructure. Utilising data from a range of sectors will enable us to pinpoint areas that require the most focus. For example, establishing where the schools are needed could be done by looking at population location and age data.

Shadbolt suggests that if organisations in all sectors throughout the UK were to start to publish open data there would be significant benefits. From a development perspective, it would allow us to quickly establish which land was available to develop on; what the transport links are like in that area; the ability of the construction workforce within close proximity to the development, and how the respective local authority's services can cope with any potential additional load. This could lead to large environmental and societal benefits, as well as increasing productivity, and helping to drive the UK economy.

= The importance of collaboration between sectors =

By having multiple datasets which span a range of different sectors, clients, designers and contractors are better able to understand the areas they are constructing in. There was a strong desire expressed during interviews with industry experts for there to be a push for the construction industry to collaborate much more with other sectors. This would help to develop a much stronger basis for evidence. The construction industry is in need of innovative and systemic approaches, based upon strong data, which allows people to make much more informed decisions.

One example which was discussed during an interview was how best to plan the movement of traffic around developments. When you consider traffic there are a wide range of variables which could have an impact, including, the schools in the area, and the times in which they open and close; the businesses within the local area, and their operational hours; even the employment rate in the area might dictate when people are most likely to be driving.

If you consider that there could be multiple variables which need to be analysed in order to provide reliable solutions to potential issues surrounding traffic, it becomes apparent how daunting the task is to open up all of the datasets that can help to inform decisions made on all aspects of the built environment. However, Professor Tim Stonor explains that we must look at this optimistically, as the rewards will be substantial if we are successful. This could lead to incredible social and economic gains.

The construction industry does not currently have the knowledge to turn this data into usable applications. However, if advances are made with regards to the quality and quantity of data available, it may become common practice for organisations big and small to invest in data scientists. If this level of data became accessible, there is the potential for it to be utilised to help provide solutions for a range of design and planning issues, and may even lead to data scientists being integral members of the design team.

= Potential to open up BRE data in the future =

At BRE, we create and manage large-scale data covering a number of areas of the built environment, most notably in sustainability (through BREEAM assessments of stages and lifecycles in the creation, use, reuse and maintenance of buildings; and SMARTWaste www.smartwaste.co.uk – our online environmental reporting tool for construction projects) and through areas such as product certification, where BRE measure, test and certify various products in fire safety and security (such as LPCB).

BRE has already undertaken work on capturing this data for future re-use, through BREEAM projects, our flagship next-generation BREEAM tool. There is great potential to use this data outside the original intended scope, and for opening portions of this data to the industry. There is also potential for re-use of this data in improving BRE processes and internal science.

For example, in BREEAM there has been interest in using certification and registration data in the housing sector to help identify trends and potential upcoming development areas. For building owners, being able to download or have access to the sustainability history of their building has the potential to showcase and provide value-added information for that property.

For BRE itself, being able to examine in detail across a number of BREEAM assessments for various building types could potentially show where assessment criteria could be more accurately tailored to specific building types or is not well suited. For example, we can begin to ask questions such as “do schools perform on average better in some categories than others”, “do assessments of hospital or public buildings tend to focus on specific credits in schemes rather than others, and if so, why?”

The use of this data by third parties also has potential, and BRE has already created an alpha API release, BRE Data, allowing specific organisations to query and manage assessment data without using our main tools through opening of our datasets.

= Conclusion =

It is clear that many people in the construction sector are unfamiliar with aspects relating to open and big data, often put off by the technical language used. Whilst this report tries to clarify and simplify some of the key terms, there is clearly more that could be done to demystify an increasingly important driver for change.

It is the great potential for open & big data to underpin a better built environment that should motivate all those in a position to develop new tools and applications to seek to optimise this growing resource. This includes configuring systems to provide new forms of data in a readily accessible form, as well as evaluating existing data sources to develop new applications that can support their continued collation and upgrading.

The public sector has led the way to opening up data sets to enable new and improved applications using such data to be developed, resulting in uses that could never have been envisaged by the originators of the dataset. There is still more that can be done with public data sets and this should be facilitated by grant funding in related research & development, along with events supporting disruptive technology and approaches.

The private sector has been less forthcoming in opening up their data, due to commercial sensitivities, anonymising data and resources needed to set up licensing frameworks and agreements.

For the true power of big and open data to be realised, these barriers need to be properly understood and removed where practicable. Such opening up of datasets can create economic, social and environmental benefits for the supplier and the user. Examples of data utilisation provided in this report will hopefully give a flavour of some of the practical applications that have already been developed and the benefits that are now possible.

Just as there are many possible applications for data, there are also multiple business models to allow the access of data without compromising the commercial value to the holder of the data. If done correctly, it can be a win-win situation, such as making suppliers aware of end-use applications they had not considered themselves or creating strong partnerships.

Ideally, the leaps of faith shown by the vanguard organisations will encourage greater collaboration and consideration of big and open data. In the meantime, BRE will continue to explore the potential to make better use of the data it holds and welcome discussions with other organisations who could be part of this process.

Construction's interoperability challenge

2018-06-11T11:01:34Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

David Owens, Senior Consultant Digital Transformation at Costain, explores the challenges around data exchange in infrastructure and what can be learnt from the past.

[[File:Interoperability-challenge.jpg|link=File:Interoperability-challenge.jpg]]

= Introduction =

Interoperability is defined as 'the ability of computer systems or software to exchange and make use of information', and is an emotive subject to many of the people I’ve met in ‘digital’ circles. 
 
Most of us as engineers can relate immediately to the challenges around managing asset data and there is a view that a single interoperable file could be the 'holy grail' to our industry’s digital problems. 
 
The solution for the exchange of data in the future won’t be the solution we’re working on today. We’re on a journey and I’m certain that greater understanding of computer science at all levels is needed in construction – it needn’t be a specialist subject. 
 
Collaboration from within and from outside of the industry will be key to the development of interoperable asset data we can all benefit from. 
 
I was recently part of an industry roundtable on this topic, convened by ICE and [http://www.bluebeam.co.uk/ Bluebeam], which debated the challenges and possible solutions. As a follow-up, this article is aimed at those engaged in shaping the future of the industry I love and am equally frustrated by.

As the industry continues to grapple with this challenge, it’s worth taking a little look back at the evolution of the internet for lessons in adopting a ‘data centric, and system agnostic’ approach. 
 
My own philosophy has been shaped by a number of milestones and visions. They are worth highlighting as we develop our journey to achieving interoperable asset data through taking a series of baby steps…

= World Wide Web Consortium (w3c) =

The history of the internet is fascinating. The launch of w3c happened in my ‘recent’ memory, I was just finishing secondary school in the mid-1990s when it came along, changed everything and became the cornerstone of our modern world. 
 
Its foundation was based on interoperability - fundamentals created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Several browsers were born which used these principles to interpret code (html) and present it to the reader. I continue to use the wonderfully simple resource of w3c schools to help my understanding of the workings of the world wide web.

= Open Data Institute =

Nearly 25 years later, the internet continues to impact all our lives. The ability to code is now taught in secondary school. 
 
The Open Data Institute is the champion of interoperable data across the world, advocating its benefits for both for commerce and democracy. 
 
Its vision speaks of the good data can do but also the harm that can be caused: 'Our vision is for people, organisations and communities to use data to make better decisions and be protected from the harmful impacts of its inappropriate use and distribution.'

= BuildingSMART =

In the same 25-year period, BuildingSMART has been the champion of interoperability in our own specific domain. 
 
BuildingSMART maintains (on our behalf) a ‘data standard’ (ISO 16739) and seeks to provide a definition and schema for data in construction. You may have already heard and seen 3D graphical models in ‘.ifc’ (Industry Foundation Classes) but what is most interesting and least exploited is the construction processes this has defined. 
 
My personal favourites are risk and warranty and, by virtue of these two, why couldn’t that information be passed easily between parties as we are obliged to do so under HSE Construction (Design & Management) regulations?

= Data for the public good =

The National Infrastructure Commission’s recent report speaks of the virtues of data and the improvements in productivity that can be won and states that new data driven technologies currently contribute significant benefits to the UK economy of up to £50bn. 
 
But simply having the data is not enough. It needs to be shared across the public and private sectors with the appropriate levels of secure access to enable its value to be fully leveraged for public benefit.

= Conclusions =

* Databases are very good at holding… data.
* The data schema or data model is more important than its container.
* Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) tools are very useful.
* Data interoperability may eventually come in the shape of an A Programming Interface (API) (e.g. Amazon).
* Be grateful to all of the collaborators out there.

Why then, when something as complicated as the internet is dominating our lives, can't we develop a solution to interoperability? What are the market conditions we need to break the silos of proprietary file types? This is the challenge to industry.

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a charity and international membership organisation established to foster and promote the art and science of civil engineering. It was founded in 1818 and was granted a royal charter in 1828. Its head office is at One Great George Street in Westminster, London, and it represents more than 86,000 members worldwide.

As well as supporting its members to become qualified, it also encourages them to continue their professional development by providing a variety of knowledge resources. These include industry-leading publications and tailored training courses.

In September 2015 ICE became a sponsor of Designing Buildings Wiki. ICE's Director of Engineering Knowledge, Nathan Baker, said, “ICE is the world's oldest engineering institution, established nearly 200 years ago. Our knowledge base is rich and diverse, and as a Learned Society, fostering and sharing this knowledge through a variety of resources sits at the heart of what we do. It encourages innovation and excellence in the industry – and ultimately benefits society."

Designing Buildings Wiki Chairman David Trench CBE said, “ICE are a vital addition to our family of high-profile supporters, helping us become a truly comprehensive knowledge base, representative of the whole construction industry."

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a charity and international membership organisation established to foster and promote the art and science of civil engineering. It was founded in 1818 and was granted a royal charter in 1828. Its head office is at One Great George Street in Westminster, London, and it represents more than 86,000 members worldwide.

As well as supporting its members to become qualified, it also encourages them to continue their professional development by providing a variety of knowledge resources. These include industry-leading publications and tailored training courses.

In September 2015 ICE became a sponsor of Designing Buildings Wiki. ICE's Director of Engineering Knowledge, Nathan Baker, said, “ICE is the world's oldest engineering institution, established nearly 200 years ago. Our knowledge base is rich and diverse, and as a Learned Society, fostering and sharing this knowledge through a variety of resources sits at the heart of what we do. It encourages innovation and excellence in the industry – and ultimately benefits society."

Designing Buildings Wiki Chairman David Trench CBE said, “ICE are a vital addition to our family of high-profile supporters, helping us become a truly comprehensive knowledge base, representative of the whole construction industry."

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a charity and international membership organisation established to foster and promote the art and science of civil engineering. It was founded in 1818 and was granted a royal charter in 1828. Its head office is at One Great George Street in Westminster, London, and it represents more than 86,000 members worldwide.

As well as supporting its members to become qualified, it also encourages them to continue their professional development by providing a variety of knowledge resources. These include industry-leading publications and tailored training courses.

In September 2015 ICE became a sponsor of Designing Buildings Wiki. ICE's Director of Engineering Knowledge, Nathan Baker, said, “ICE is the world's oldest engineering institution, established nearly 200 years ago. Our knowledge base is rich and diverse, and as a Learned Society, fostering and sharing this knowledge through a variety of resources sits at the heart of what we do. It encourages innovation and excellence in the industry – and ultimately benefits society."

Designing Buildings Wiki Chairman David Trench CBE said, “ICE are a vital addition to our family of high-profile supporters, helping us become a truly comprehensive knowledge base, representative of the whole construction industry."

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a charity and international membership organisation established to foster and promote the art and science of civil engineering. It was founded in 1818 and was granted a royal charter in 1828. Its head office is at One Great George Street in Westminster, London, and it represents more than 86,000 members worldwide.

As well as supporting its members to become qualified, it also encourages them to continue their professional development by providing a variety of knowledge resources. These include industry-leading publications and tailored training courses.

In September 2015 ICE became a sponsor of Designing Buildings Wiki. ICE's Director of Engineering Knowledge, Nathan Baker, said, “ICE is the world's oldest engineering institution, established nearly 200 years ago. Our knowledge base is rich and diverse, and as a Learned Society, fostering and sharing this knowledge through a variety of resources sits at the heart of what we do. It encourages innovation and excellence in the industry – and ultimately benefits society."

Designing Buildings Wiki Chairman David Trench CBE said, “ICE are a vital addition to our family of high-profile supporters, helping us become a truly comprehensive knowledge base, representative of the whole construction industry."

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a charity and international membership organisation established to foster and promote the art and science of civil engineering. It was founded in 1818 and was granted a royal charter in 1828. Its head office is at One Great George Street in Westminster, London, and it represents more than 86,000 members worldwide.

As well as supporting its members to become qualified, it also encourages them to continue their professional development by providing a variety of knowledge resources. These include industry-leading publications and tailored training courses.

In September 2015 ICE became a sponsor of Designing Buildings Wiki. ICE's Director of Engineering Knowledge, Nathan Baker, said, “ICE is the world's oldest engineering institution, established nearly 200 years ago. Our knowledge base is rich and diverse, and as a Learned Society, fostering and sharing this knowledge through a variety of resources sits at the heart of what we do. It encourages innovation and excellence in the industry – and ultimately benefits society."

Designing Buildings Wiki Chairman David Trench CBE said, “ICE are a vital addition to our family of high-profile supporters, helping us become a truly comprehensive knowledge base, representative of the whole construction industry."

Energy, resilience and climate change knowledge campaign

2017-03-01T09:47:56Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

In February 2017, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) launched an [https://www.ice.org.uk/disciplines-and-resources/energy-resilience-climate-change Energy, Resilience and Climate Change knowledge campaign], a multi-year programme to focus the efforts of the learned society on the climate imperative.

[[File:Energy_resilience_and_climate_change_knowledge_campaign.jpg|link=http://www.ice.org.uk/ERCC]]

The Accord de Paris, the UN sponsored international agreement on climate change, came into force in November 2016 - triggered when it was ratified by countries accounting for enough of the world’s emissions. It is important that the global, political commitment to tackling climate change is matched by engineers, and the challenge is immense.

There are both global imperatives, including the decarbonisation of electricity generation and transport, and also local tasks. In the UK in 2016, the ICE National Needs Assessment, a 30 year view of Britain’s infrastructure requirements, identified large increases in flood risk and greater exposure to high temperatures as key drivers of future demand.

Energy, resilience and climate change knowledge campaign

2017-03-01T09:47:24Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

In February 2017, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) launched an Energy, Resilience and Climate Change knowledge campaign, a multi-year programme to focus the efforts of the learned society on the climate imperative.

[[File:Energy_resilience_and_climate_change_knowledge_campaign.jpg|link=http://www.ice.org.uk/ERCC]]

The Accord de Paris, the UN sponsored international agreement on climate change, came into force in November 2016 - triggered when it was ratified by countries accounting for enough of the world’s emissions. It is important that the global, political commitment to tackling climate change is matched by engineers, and the challenge is immense.

There are both global imperatives, including the decarbonisation of electricity generation and transport, and also local tasks. In the UK in 2016, the ICE National Needs Assessment, a 30 year view of Britain’s infrastructure requirements, identified large increases in flood risk and greater exposure to high temperatures as key drivers of future demand.

It is vital that engineers share their experience and expertise. No one organisation will solve these problems but all can play a part.

Supply chains in construction

2016-12-14T17:06:02Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

'Supply chain' is the term used to describe the interconnected hierarchy of supply contracts necessary to procure a built asset. Managing the supply chain involves understanding the breakdown and traceability of products and services, organisations, logistics, people, activities, information and resources that transform raw materials into a finished product that is fit for its purpose.

Unlike the automotive industry, the construction industry has the particular difficulty that every building is different, a unique prototype, developed by a team of consultants, contractors and other suppliers that may never have worked together before and may never work together again.

To add to the complexity, different procurement systems place elements of supply chain management with varying disciplines and organisations.

On a 'traditional' building project, design consultants are first tier suppliers, working for the client, and the contractor has a supply chain of sub-contractors and specialist suppliers. On PFI or design and build projects however, there may be just one first tier supplier (sometimes the contractor) and design consultants will work for them as part of their supply chain.

On large or complex projects, responsibility and performance generally cascades down the supply chain to a plethora of suppliers sometimes unknown to management at the top of the chain.

One of the problems in the construction industry is that the first and second tier of the supply chain sign up to fairly onerous agreements but as the chain develops, so the contractual liabilities decrease until suppliers at the end of the chain are often not locked in at all.

The key to supply chain management is to provide a strategy that aligns it with the project programme. This starts at the design stage, scoping the work into packages. Early evaluation based on feedback from the supply chain can produce enormous cost benefits and value. Capacity and production capability in a market controlled by supply and demand are particularly significant if programme bottlenecks are to be avoided.

In recent years larger companies offering continuity in construction have taken an increasing interest in establishing relationships beyond direct, first tier suppliers. Framework contracts and partnering agreements have pioneered this approach, encouraging the involvement of selected suppliers at relatively early stages of projects while offering continuity of work. This has led to greater collaboration between lead designers and product designers to the advantage of all parties.

'Integrated supply team' is a term used by the government to describe the integration of the complete supply chain involved in the delivery of a project. This may include the main contractor, designers, sub-contractors, suppliers, facilities mangers and so on. The integrated supply team is particularly relevant on public projects as the recommended procurement routes proposed by the government are private finance initiative (PFI), prime contracting and design and build. Under these routes, the entire supply team are appointed after the project brief has been prepared, often under just one contract rather than separate contracts with each individual company.

Supply chain management in construction

2016-12-14T17:05:44Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

= Introduction =

The origins of supply chain management (SCM) lie in the manufacturing industries. The armoury practices of the late 19th century, and later the production methods of Henry Ford in the 1920s, created the SCM system that remains largely unchanged today. The central focus is on the production process of goods through the control of material flows.

Large efficiency gains can be achieved through managing the interfaces between organisations. Latham and Egan recognised this as being relevant to construction in their respective reports.

SCM exists alongside and overlaps with many other management approaches including:

* Lean thinking.
* Business process re-engineering (BPR).
* Mass customisation.

= What is supply chain management? =

‘Supply’ is the flow of resources used to satisfy a demand, such as materials, labour, information, skills, and so on. It can also refer to competencies, and represent combinations of resources. Commodity suppliers tend to be more price focused, whilst strategic suppliers are more quality/delivery focused.

‘Chains’ represents the notion of links within and between both resources and competencies. They are based upon relationships between people and organisations, and processes within and between organisations.

‘Management’ is the exercise of formal authority within a structured organisational setting that is directed towards aims and objectives through the efforts of other people using systems and procedures.

Supply chain management requires a holistic perspective and a view of organisations as parts of a process. It requires the ability to look beyond organisational boundaries, and a recognition of the interdependence of organisations.

Most definitions of supply chain management share generic characteristics:

* Holistic.
* Networks.
* Relationship-focused.
* Attitudinal.
* Responsibility of managing chain.
* Necessity for change of culture.

= The need for SCM in construction =

Managing the supply chain involves understanding the breakdown and traceability of products and services, organisations, logistics, people, activities, information and resources that transform raw materials into a finished product that is fit for its purpose.

Buildings are becoming increasingly complex, and require more design input by specialist suppliers. At the same there is increasing fragmentation of the industry as can be seen from the growth of specialist suppliers/contractors, the proliferation of products and the fragmentation of design and control activities.

The supply chain is relatively unstable, and the industry is project-based with defined start and end points, and a traditional separation between design and construction. Demand is treated as a series of competitively tendered prototypes constructed by temporary coalitions. This all has an impact on organisational relationships.

Project relationships are short term and have defined start and end points, they are usually informal/ad-hoc and focused on the project not the business. Relationships between competencies vary from project to project. The resulting lack of continuity prevents the innovation and improvement of process as well as the development of more complex relationships. The client may also have an impact on the procurement route and choice of strategic suppliers.

On large or complex projects, responsibility and performance generally cascades down the supply chain to a plethora of suppliers sometimes unknown at the top of the chain. The first and second tier of the supply chain may sign up to fairly onerous agreements but as the chain develops, so the contractual liabilities decrease until suppliers at the end of the chain are often not locked in at all.

Changing the perspective from delivery of a ‘project’ to the process of ‘project delivery’ requires the building of long-term relationships (formal and informal), partnering, and alliancing.

Companies offering continuity in construction have taken an increasing interest in establishing relationships beyond direct, first tier suppliers. Framework contracts and partnering agreements have pioneered this approach, encouraging the involvement of selected suppliers at relatively early stages of projects while offering continuity of work. This has led to greater collaboration between lead designers and product designers to the advantage of all parties.

The Government Construction Strategy, recommended three different procurement routes that aimed to improve the SCM process; private finance initiative (PFI), prime contracting and design and build. With each of these, the client enters into a relationship with a single integrated supply team, which may include the main contractor, designers, sub-contractors, suppliers, facilities mangers and so on.

Soft landings

2016-12-14T17:05:14Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

= Introduction =

There is a broad consensus that buildings in operation do not perform as well as they could. There is often a significant gap between predicted and achieved performance that results in part from short-comings in briefing, design and construction and in part from poor operation. This problem is exacerbated by the almost complete separation of construction and operation.

The term 'soft landings' refers to a strategy adopted to ensure the transition from construction to occupation is 'bump-free' and that operational performance is optimised.

This transition needs to be considered throughout the development of a project, not just at the point of handover. Ideally the client should commit to adopting a soft landings strategy in the very early stages so that an appropriate budget can be allocated and appointment agreements and briefing documents can include relevant requirements. This should include agreement to provide the information required for commissioning, training, facilities management and so on, and increasingly will include requirements for Building Information Modelling (BIM).

To ensure that a soft landings strategy is implemented properly from the outset, it may be appropriate to appoint a soft landings champion to oversee the strategy. Facilities managers should also be involved from the early stages. If the operators of the completed development are not known, it may be beneficial to appoint external advisers.

= The soft landings framework =

The Soft Landings Framework is a joint initiative between BSRIA (Building Services Research and Information Association) and UBT (Usable Buildings Trust). It is an open-source framework [http://www.bsria.co.uk/services/design/soft-landings/ available on the BSRIA website] that is intended to '…smooth the transition into use and to address problems that post-occupancy evaluations (POEs) show to be widespread' (ref [http://www.usablebuildings.co.uk/Pages/UBPublications/UBPubsSoftLandings.html Useable Buildings]). It was first published in 2009 and was updated in 2014 to align with the RIBA 2013 work stages. It is now developed by the BSRIA Soft Landings Group.

The framework includes 5 key stages:

=== Inception and briefing ===

* Ensuring that the client's needs and required outcomes are clearly defined.

=== Design development and review ===

* Reviewing comparable projects and assessing proposals in relation to facilities management and building users.

=== Pre-handover ===

* Ensuring operators properly understand systems before occupation.

=== Initial aftercare ===

* Stationing a soft landings team on site to receive feedback, fine tune systems and ensure proper operation. Typically this will last 4 to 6 weeks, but may be longer for complex buildings such as hospitals and may be shorter for simple buildings such as shops.

=== Extended aftercare and post occupancy evaluation. ===

* Outstanding issues are resolved and post occupancy evaluations are fed-back for future projects. It is suggested that this period lasts for 3 years. In year 1, problems are identified, training provided and systems fine tuned, with regular reviews. In years 2 and 3, performance is reviewed, and post occupancy surveys carried out, but with reviews becoming less frequent.

= Government Soft Landings (GSL) =

The Government Construction Strategy was published in May 2011 with the intention of reducing the cost of public sector construction. Six Task Groups were established for different areas of the strategy, one of which was the FM / Soft Landings task group.

The FM / Soft Landings task group was asked to produce a policy document on Government Soft Landings (GSL) supported by appropriate guidance and a process map.

In September 2012 the Cabinet Office announced that by 2016 all centrally-funded projects should be delivered in accordance with Government Soft Landings (GSL) as part of the public sector adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM). The creation of GSL was driven by the Government Construction Board, and it is now developed by the GSL Stewardship Group.

The [https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/61151/GCS-One-Year-On-Report-and-Action-Plan-Update-FINAL_0.pdf Government Construction Strategy: One Year On] describes soft landings as '...the process of aligning the interests of those who design and construct an asset with the interests of those who use and manage it. It aims to improve client and user experiences, with reduced re-visits, and to give a product that meets and performs to client expectations.' It suggests that '...the reason for the creation of an asset and its intended business purpose, the 'golden thread', can often be lost in the construction process. GSL (Government Soft Landings) will be used to maintain this 'golden thread' and ensure its continuation into the building's operative stage.'

GSL sits alongside Building Information Modelling (BIM), as BIM feeds facility management systems, and helps enable future alterations to completed buildings. As a result, ownership of GSL has moved to the BIM Task Group.

The BIM Task Group suggest that:

# GSL will be used to reduce cost and improve performance of asset delivery and operation.
# All departments will appoint a GSL Lead to manage the GSL Golden Thread on all projects.
# All departments will actively manage aftercare during early operations, supported by the design and construction team.
# Post Operational Evaluation will be used as a collaborative tool to measure and optimise asset performance and embed lessons learnt.
# BIM will be progressively used as a data management tool to assist the briefing process.

For more information about GSL, recommendations of the task group and ongoing developments see the [http://www.bimtaskgroup.org/gsl-policy/ BIM Task Group].

= Comparison between GSL and BSRIA soft landings framework. =

In August 2015, BSRIA published [[Soft_Landings_%26_Government_Soft_Landings,_A_Convergence_Guide_For_Construction_Projects|Soft Landings & Government Soft Landings, A Convergence Guide For Construction Projects]]. The briefing note provides an overview of GSL and compares it with the BSRIA Soft Landings Framework.

Whilst the two frameworks are aligned, and there are many similarities, there are some crucial differences. In very broad terms, the BSRIA Soft Landings Framework encourages increased collaboration and awareness of outcomes through stakeholder workshops and design reviews, with programme and format defined by the Soft Landings Champion. GSL on the other hand, is more prescriptive in relation to the BIM process being checked against project targets.

See [[Soft_Landings_%26_Government_Soft_Landings,_A_Convergence_Guide_For_Construction_Projects|Soft Landings & Government Soft Landings, A Convergence Guide For Construction Projects]] for more information.

Site waste management plan SWMP

2016-12-14T17:04:53Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

Note

The [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2008/314/contents/made Site Waste Management Plans Regulations] placed obligations on the client (other than domestic clients) and the principal contractor for any construction project with an estimated cost of more than £300,000 (the price agreed in the accepted tender i.e. excluding VAT and consultant fees, see Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Non-statutory guidance for site waste management plans P5). This included maintenance and alteration works. More detail was required for projects with an estimated cost of more than £500,000. Whilst the regulations were not related to the CDM regulations, they did draw on the same terminology, allocating roles to the client and principal contractor.

However, following a comprehensive government review of 21,000 regulations on different themes, Site Waste Management Plans (SWMP) are no longer compulsory for construction projects in England (from 1 December 2013). Ref [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/2854/regulation/2/made The Environmental Noise, Site Waste Management Plans and Spreadable Fats etc. (Revocations and Amendments) Regulations] 2013.

They may still be required for BREEAM assessments or by the local planning authority, and may be considered an environmentally responsible initiative by the main contractor or by the client.

-----
The UK construction industry is the largest consumer of resources, requiring more than 400 million tonnes of material a year (ref Davis Langdon). 32% of landfill waste comes from the construction and demolition of buildings and 13% of products delivered to construction sites are sent directly to landfill without being used (ref Technology Strategy Board).

A site waste management plan (SWMP) should initially be prepared by the client before construction begins, although they may commission a member of the consultant team to do this on their behalf. It should describe how materials will be managed efficiently and disposed of legally during the construction of the works, explaining how the re-use and recycling of materials will be maximised. This involves estimating how much of each type of waste is likely to be produced and the proportion of this that will be re-used or recycled on site, or removed from the site for re-use, recycling, recovery or disposal.

It is the joint responsibility of the client and the principal contractor to ensure that a site waste management plan is in place before construction begins and to ensure that it is enforced.

The principal contractor should:

* Ensure that the requirements of the site waste management plan are included in sub-contracts.
* Arrange suitable site induction, information and training of personnel to ensure that the plan is implemented.
* Take all reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised disposal of the waste by others.
* Update the plan as the works progress to reflect the actual handling of waste.
* At the end of the project (within 3 months) reconcile the planned handling of waste against what actually happened and provide an explanation of any differences.

For large projects (with an estimated cost of more than £500,000) the principal contractor should record in detail how each consignment of waste is handled and who by (see Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: [http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130402151656/http://archive.defra.gov.uk/environment/waste/topics/construction/pdf/swmp-guidance.pdf Non-statutory guidance for site waste management plans] P12) and to prepare an estimate of the cost savings achieved through implementation of the site waste management plan.

There is no formal notification or approval process for site waste management plans, however the local authority may require submission of site waste management plans as part of the planning process.

A site waste management plan template is provided in the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' [http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130402151656/http://archive.defra.gov.uk/environment/waste/topics/construction/pdf/swmp-guidance.pdf Non-statutory guidance for site waste management plans] Annex A.

Site storage

2016-12-14T17:04:37Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

= Introduction =

Site storage involves the provision of adequate space, protection and control for materials, components and equipment that are to be kept on a construction site during the building process.

There are several factors to be considered when deciding on the amount and nature of storage required.

* Physical properties: The size, shape, weight and mode of delivery.
* Organisation: The planning process to ensure unloading is available and storage space has been allocated.
* Control: Processes for checking the quality and quantity of materials on delivery, and monitoring stock holdings.
* Protection: The necessary protection for durable and non-durable materials and components from damage.
* Security: Guarding against theft and vandalism.
* Costs: Costs associated with handling, transporting and stacking requirements, the workforce required, heating and/or lighting that may be required, facilities to be provided for subcontractors, and so on.
* Processing: What needs to be done to materials before they can be used. Is there packaging that needs to be removed or returned?
* Programme: When are items required, what is the risk to the project of them not being available, how long in advance are they ordered and how long they will be on site.
* Ownership: Who is legally responsible for items, who will be using them and who owns them? See Materials on site for more information.

= Site allocation =

The location and size of space to be allocated should be planned carefully as part of an overall site layout plan and each site will present its own problems. Failure to adequately plan for storage space can result in congestion, or having more materials on site than storage space allows for.

The most appropriate position on site in terms of handling, storage and convenience should be determined. Unloading deliveries should take place in a clearly marked designated area, away from other site operations, supervised by a competent person.

The distance between storage areas and the area materials are to be used should be reduced as much as possible to keep the time and cost required to transport them from place to place at a minimum. Alternatively, storage areas could be positioned within the reach of a tower crane which can then be used to move materials as required.

= Theft =

Materials and equipment may need protection from theft and vandalism, particularly when left out in the open where they have the potential to be removed late at night by opportunistic thieves. Tradespeople often have heavy duty lockable compartments or vans for storing tools, but where it is more practical to leave equipment and materials on site, security may need to be provided. This can be in the form of a lockable fenced compound on site, perhaps with CCTV, alarms and patrols.

Close boarded fences are often used which are similar to hoarding, or chain link fencing with precast concrete posts, sometimes incorporating a 45° crank which faces out.

= Health and safety =

There are certain health and safety issues to consider when storing items on site. Items which are stacked must be stable to ensure they will not fall onto workers. Workers should not climb or walk on top of materials which are stacked as they could shift and cause them to fall.

Stored items should not block or obstruct escape routes.

The type of material being stored also needs to be taken into account. If it is hazardous, it may require specific precautions and control measures such as bunds for toxic substances or it may need to be kept separate from other substances to prevent a reaction.

To reduce the risk of an accident, special containers are required to store hazardous chemicals and dangerous goods. These types of containers may have special provisions for things like natural ventilation, special compartments, electrical earthing, and warning signs.

= Materials storage =

Different types of material will have different storage requirements, in particular depending on whether they are durable or non-durable.

=== Bricks ===

Bricks may be delivered to site loose or strapped in unit loads and stored on timber pallets to be transported using a forklift. Bricks should be stacked on edge in rows to a maximum height of 2.4 m. It is important that they are stored on level, well-drained ground and covered with a polythene sheet to protect against efflorescence and other issues. When calculating the area required for storage, allowance of around 5 m should be given for the forklift approach.

=== Blocks ===

Blocks may be delivered to site loose or strapped in unit loads on timber pallets. They should be stacked in columns, to a maximum height of 8 courses, and covered with a protective sheet.

=== Roofing tiles ===

Tiles may be delivered to site loose, in plastic-wrapped packs or in unit loads on timber pallets. They should be stacked vertically in rows, to a maximum of 6 in height. The tiles at the end of the row should be laid flat and staggered. Ridge tiles should be stored vertically on end.

=== Drainage pipes ===

These are usually supplied loose or strapped together on timber pallets. They should be stacked horizontally with ends reversed in alternate rows. A driven-in timber stack or column of loose bricks can be used to form end restraints.

=== Corrugated and similar sheet materials ===

These should be stored flat on a level surface and covered with a protective polythene sheet.

=== Timber ===

Timber and other joinery items should be stored horizontally and covered in a scaffold rack, although provision should be made for free air flow, usually by the rack having open ends and sides, while having a top that is covered. It is advisable for different timber sizes to be kept separate.

=== Cement ===

Since any contact with direct or airborne moisture can cause cement to set, it must be kept dry. In terms of organisation, it is advisable for a rotational system to be used, whereby the first batch of cement delivered is the first to be used.

Small quantities of bagged cement should be stacked to a height no more than 1 m, on a raised dry platform such as a timber pallet. A polythene sheet should be used as cover, with care being made to ensure that it is weighted down around the edges.

Medium quantities of bagged cement may need to be stored in a watertight and fireproof shed, with galvanized steel sides and adjustable legs on bearing plates.

Large quantities of loose cement should be stored in a cement storage silo.

=== Aggregates ===

It is essential for different aggregate types and sizes to be kept separate. They should be stored on a clean, hard, free-draining surface, surrounded by retaining and separating walls of bulk timbers. Stored aggregates should be regularly monitored for moisture content.

Scheduling construction activities

2016-12-14T17:04:21Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

Scheduling construction activties involves chronologically distributing tasks over the available timeframe, determining the resources, durations and procedures necessary to ensure the works are completed in a way that optimises cost, timeframe and quality.

The following basic principles must be understood:

* Labour, both in its various categories and as a whole should be as stable as possible, free of frequent or sudden variations.
* Machinery and additional resources attached to the works should be employed completely.
* The resulting schedule should be clearly understandable, especially to those involved in carrying out the construction works.

The steps taken prior to works scheduling include:

* Detailed study of the design and the site where the construction works are to take place.
* Breakdown of the construction works into activities which depend not just on the type of work to be carried out, but also on the level of intensity. Each activity is measured and evaluated at current market prices.
* Analysis of the existing relationships between the different construction activities, either based on priority or dependency.
* Setting the construction methods and procedures to be followed.
* For every activity the construction procedure is studied, establishing the necessary equipment and calculating their performance levels.

Time is the basic variable in scheduling construction works. The schedule is used to determine the optimal order for the execution of activities. It requires a series of basic steps:

* Identification of interrelationships between tasks.
* Establishing the optimal duration of these tasks.
* Assigning resources to these tasks and establishing load diagrams.
* Obtaining possible dates for each activity and the critical path.
* Verification and adjustment of the scheduling.

The concept of float is used to describe the amount of time that an event or activity can be delayed. The float is obtained by subtracting the duration of a tasks from the available time.

The critical path is determined by all the events were the total float is zero. As a result, for the activities which comprise the critical path, the earliest and the latest possible dates for the task coincide, both when starting and concluding each activity. The critical activities define the set of tasks which have to be carried out without delay. Any modification in their duration results in an alteration to the critical path and, as a result in the project’s duration.

The duration of an activity can be reduced by adding additional resources, but this will also increase its cost. The “normal” duration of a task is that which minimises its cost. However, a schedule based on normal durations may excessively prolong the work, or may result in the contract duration being exceeded. In both cases, the duration of some or all of the activities may be reduced by increasing resources, however, there is a minimum possible execution time, even where infinite resources are available. To properly adjust durations, therefore, the time-cost relationship must be known for each activity.

Properly scheduling the available resources is crucial in ensuring that the project is finished within the established timeframe and budget. A load diagram is a useful graphic representation of resources over time, allowing assessment of trends.

[[File:Construction_atcitive_load_diagrams.jpg|link=File:Construction_atcitive_load_diagrams.jpg]]

Resource limitations result in conflicts which can be addressed using levelling and allocation methods. Levelling evens out the load diagram without delaying the timeframe. Allocation on the other hand ensures that the resources required do not exceed those available, but on the condition that any resulting delay is kept to a minimum. With the help of various network techniques, a critical path is established and floats for each activity determined. The priority in allocating resources will be greater for activities with less available float.

Heuristic methods such as the Burgess-Killebrew method for levelling and the Wiest-Levy method for resource allocation are commonly used and can provide good solutions relatively quickly.

The Burgess-Killebrew algorithm is one of the pioneer algorithms in this field; it is also considered one of the most efficient. The resource load diagram looks for non-critical activities which have the most advanced early completion date. This activity delays its completion by units of time until the float runs out. The earliest completion date for the activity is the one that minimises the sum of squares of resource usage. This is repeated with all the non-critical tasks, with priority given to those activities with greater float, where the most advanced early completion date for the two tasks coincides. Once completed, a new cycle of repetitions begins until it is impossible to reduce the sum of squares any further.

The Wiest-Levy method is based on the scheduling of activities which can be carried out using the resources available. When the load is greater than the available resource, the activity will have to be delayed; amongst the most non-critical activities, the one that solves the problem with the least delay is chosen. If there are two activities with the same conditions, the one with the greatest float is delayed first, meaning that critical activities are only delayed when there is no other option.

Programme for building design and construction

2016-12-14T17:04:00Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

Programmes describe the sequence in which tasks must be carried out so that a project (or part of a project) can be completed on time.

Programmes will often identify:

* Dates and durations allocated to tasks.
* A critical path (the sequence of critical tasks upon which the overall duration of the programme is dependent).
* Tasks which can only be carried out after other tasks have been completed.
* Tasks which can be carried out simultaneously.
* 'Float' within tasks that are not on the critical path (that is, delays that can be incurred without affecting the critical path). Identifying float can be helpful in highlighting where it may be possible to transfer resources to tasks that are on the critical path.
* The need for specific resources such as plant, services or materials and their lead time.

Preparing a programme should not be a paper exercise that simply records what has already happened or what is likely to happen. For a programme to be effective, it must be used as a tool to help plan activities, monitor progress and identify where additional resources may be required.

Programmes can be prepared for a number of different purposes:

* The client's overall programme, which may include more than one project, activities leading up to the appointment of consultants, works outside the scope of the main contract (such as the supply of equipment), migration strategy, and an ongoing programme for operation and evaluation once the development is complete.
* A design programme scheduling tasks from the appointment of the consultant team to the appointment of the contractor. This might be a simple gantt chart incorporating each consultants planned resources for each stage which is then monitored and reported to the client.
* Information release schedules, setting out when the consultant team should issue production information to the contractor in order for the works to progress and when information produced by the contractor (or their sub-contractors) should be issued to the consultant team for comment and integration into the overall design.
* The contractor's master programme, scheduling construction activities.

On large projects, the client may appoint a programme consultant to prepare a detailed programme for the project (including an outline programme for construction). Once the contractor is appointed, they will take responsibility for programming the works.

When preparing a programme, particular attention should be given to:

* Long-lead items.
* Pre-contract works (such as demolition or site clearance).
* Prefabricated elements.
* Works outside of main contract (such as work by statutory undertakers).
* Relationships with other projects.
* Phasing and sectional completion.
* The 'CDM planning period'. This is now a requirement of the CDM regulations, intended to allow contractors sufficient time to assess health and safety issues and plan their works before commencing construction. Duty holders will need to ensure that time is allowed for this in the programme, both for the appointment of contractors and sub-contractors. The client must include details of the CDM planning period in pre-construction information.
* Decision points (gateways). Decision points often appear as milestones on programmes, with no consideration given to whether the individuals required to make the decision will be available, or how long it might take to make that decision. Wherever possible key client decisions should be programmed to take place at existing meetings, with briefing material issued in advance, enabling the client to make informed decisions.

The contractor's master programme is not part of the contract documents, and is not enforceable under all forms of contract. The completion date (and perhaps stage or sectional completion dates) are enforceable and failure of the contractor to meet the completion date may lead to a claim by the client for liquidated damages. Contracts will generally require that the contractor progresses the works regularly and diligently and failure of the contractor to meet the dates on the master programme might be evidence that this is not the case. NB the completion date indicated on the contractor's master programme may be earlier than the completion date entered into the contract.

A design programme defining deliverables might be incorporated into consultant's agreements, however this is difficult to enforce (due in part to activities of third parties outside the consultant’s control such as planning authorities, client or stakeholder actions, consultation processes etc) and generally, the only recourse the client has is to threaten termination for non-performance in the event of consistent programme failure.

Off site materials

2016-12-14T17:03:41Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

It can sometimes be appropriate for the client to pay for items even though they remain ‘off-site’, for example, where a contractor has themselves made a large payment for plant or materials that have yet to be delivered to site, or if the client wishes to ‘reserve’ key items in order to protect the programme. Such items should be agreed in advance and listed in an annex to the contract bills.

Paying for off-site goods or materials can be useful, however, it does put the client at risk, for example if the contractor becomes insolvent and the items are then not delivered, even though payment has been made.

Several mechanisms are available to protect the client:

* The client should check the financial status of the contractor to assess the likelihood of insolvency.
* The client should require proof that the property in the items is vested in the contractor before payment is made. This may include a vesting certificate (certifying that property has passed to the contractor and that the materials will be properly identified, stored and insured), and checking that the suppliers terms and conditions do not include a retention of title clause.
* The items should be set aside, and clearly marked with the client’s details.
* The materials should be "ready for incorporation".
* The client should require proof that the materials are insured against specified perils for the period they remain off site.
* If the contractor is part of a larger group, then a guarantee might be required from the holding company.
* An on-demand bond might be required up to the value of the off-site items, with the value of the bond reducing as deliveries to site are made.
* The client might enter into a contract direct with the supplier.

However, none of these methods is fool proof. For example, a vesting certificate may be of limited value in practice, as it is difficult to sue an insolvent contractor. Furthermore, despite best endeavours, items may simply be removed or disappear in the event of insolvency, or if there is a rumour that insolvency might occur. This is particularly true for items that have yet to be fabricated, items that have still to be worked on, or items that are abroad.

In a perfect world, items would be delivered to the site and affixed to the property before payment is made, but where this is not possible, a judgement is necessary to assess the risk to the project, or the potential loss to the client versus the cost of ensuring absolute certainty in relation to off-site goods.

Materials on site

2016-12-14T17:03:22Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

In very broad terms, on construction projects, materials are sourced by the contractor and the client pays the contractor after they have been delivered to site.

Generally, the law considers that, unless the contract states otherwise, title (ownership) of materials passes from the contractor to the client at the time of delivery, irrespective of whether payment has been made. However, some forms of contract may state that ownership transfers upon payment. It is important therefore that the intention of the parties is clear and that these intentions cascade down through the contractual chain.

If delivered materials have been ‘affixed to the land’ or ‘incorporated into the building’, then ownership of the materials will transfer to the client even if they have not been paid for. If they have not been affixed to the land, that is, they can be easily removed without damage to themselves or their surroundings, but have been paid for, ownership only transfers to the client if the contractor themselves had title and so were in a position to transfer it.

This situation is complicated by the fact that the client generally only pays the main contractor at pre-agreed intervals, not every time something is delivered to site, and the complexity of the contractual chain means that the client may pay the main contractor, who pays a sub-contractors, who pays a supplier and so on.

This can put the actual supplier at risk, for example, if the contractor, or any intermediate part of the supply chain defaults or becomes insolvent before payment is received. Depending on the terms of the contract, if the contractor has delivered the materials and the client has received them in good faith then ownership may be consider to have transferred to the client even if the supplier has not been paid.

A ‘retention of title’ clause (‘Romalpa clause’ or ‘reservation of title clause’) allows a supplier to retain ownership until specified conditions have been met, for example, until payment has been made. This can override the general principle that title passes on delivery and can give an unpaid supplier’s title priority over the client’s. However, there may be some risk to the client if they accept such clauses, for example, if the supplier becomes insolvent, and the receiver attempts to recover the materials. Standard fittings and stock items such as copper piping, electrical switches and ironmongery are items that might be removed from the site following the first sign of insolvency.

To be effective, the client must be aware of the retention of title. Furthermore, if the materials have been incorporated into the works they will no longer be capable of repossession.

Where the contract has terminated the supplier may be trespassing if they enter the site, and committing theft if they remove materials.

However, if the client subsequently installs materials to which they do not have title they may be guilty of 'wrongful interference', even if they are acting in good faith.

Before certifying payment for materials therefore, it is very important to be clear where the title lies. Consideration should also be given to whether materials are actually required at the time they are delivered. There may be circumstances in which it is useful to receive delivery in advance of the actual requirement (for example so that goods can be secured if supply is short, or so that shipments can be combined to reduce costs), but this should not be used simply as a mechanism to improve the contractor’s or supplier’s cash flow.

It can sometimes be appropriate for the client to pay for items even though they remain ‘off-site’, for example, where a contractor has made a large payment for plant or materials that have yet to be delivered to site, or if the client wishes to ‘reserve’ key items in order to protect the programme

Paying for off-site goods or materials can put the client at risk, for example if the contractor becomes insolvent and the items are then not delivered, even though payment has been made. There are a number of mechanisms for dealing with this risk, but none of them are completely fool proof. See Off site materials for more information.

NB Project bank accounts (PBAs) have emerged as a means of enabling faster payments through the construction supply chain, with payments being made direct to subcontractors and suppliers as soon as 5 days from the due date.

Logistics management is the process of planning, implementing and controlling supply chain functions from one point to another in accordance with a client’s requirements. These points are generally the point of origin, such as raw material accumulation, to the point of destination, i.e. delivering goods to the construction site.

Effective logistics management is important for a construction project as it can enhance efficiency and productivity that have a positive overall impact on cost and time.

For example, good logistics management ensures against the workforce being unable to carry out an activity due to delays in the materials being delivered to site. This can have a knock-on negative impact on the whole construction programme.

Logistics management involves the integrating of many of the following activities:

* Inbound and outbound transport management.
* Warehousing.
* Materials handling.
* Waste management.
* On site vehicle management.
* Plant and materials delivery.
* Inventory management and order fulfillment.
* Supply and demand planning.
* Sourcing and procurement.
* Production planning and scheduling.
* Packaging and assembly.
* Customer services.

Due to its complexity, dedicated simulation software is used to model, analyse, visualise and optimise logistics.

Having a timeline of project stages planned in advance, with a full inventory of materials and tools required, is a key part of logistics management, as this enables the efficient flow of materials. In addition to keeping the construction programme on-schedule, other advantages of good logistics management include:

* Cost savings and waste reduction as productivity is enhanced.
* Logistical planning on site enables materials to be stored correctly which improves efficiency.
* Sites can be kept safe, clean and easy to move around on.
* Deliveries can be made regularly and on time.

A construction consolidation centre (CCC) is an important aspect of logistics management. This is a location near to but not necessarily on the site, to which deliveries are made and stored. They are then brought to the site on a ‘just in time’ basis as and when required. This has the advantage of keeping the site clear of obstacles, cutting down on required storage space, and ensures that the logistics manager is aware that the materials are available close-at-hand.

For more information, see Construction consolidation centre (CCC).

The construction logistics manager is responsible for all aspects of the logistics supply chain in order to meet the needs of the project. The main responsibilities of the logistics manager are the coordination of the workforce, goods and equipment at the construction site. They should engage with the project planner, commercial management and construction manager.

Lean construction

2016-12-14T17:02:47Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

= Introduction =

Lean production (sometimes referred to as lean manufacturing) was pioneered by Toyota in Japan after the second world war. The Toyota Production System was considered to be the most efficient in the world, and it was recognised that their lean production principles could be applied not only to any other manufacturing process, but also to other business activities.

The term 'lean construction' is an adaptation of lean production techniques applied to the construction industry. Very broadly it can be characterised as techniques aimed at maximising value and minimising waste.

= UK construction =

The construction industry in the UK has consistently performed in a way that is thought to be wasteful compared to other industries. There is a general perception that it does not deliver good value for its customers. In part this is due to the unusual nature of construction, where, unlike a production line, each building is a one off. But in addition, the nature of contracting arrangements means that it can be adversarial, with significant potential for disputes.

In 1997, the then Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott set up the Construction Task Force, chaired by Sir John Egan. In 1998, the task force published ‘Rethinking Construction' (the Egan Report), on the scope for improving the quality and efficiency of UK construction. Amongst other things, Egan advocated lean thinking, suggesting that it “…presents a powerful and coherent synthesis of the most effective techniques for eliminating waste and delivering significant sustained improvements in efficiency and quality….We recommend that the UK construction industry should also adopt lean thinking as a means of sustaining performance improvement.”

Other countries around the world have also made attempts to apply lean thinking to construction, notably Denmark, USA, Chile, Brazil and Australia (ref Lean Thinking in Construction).

= Lean construction =

Lean construction is a broad philosophy that has been defined in many different ways and includes a range of different approached, tools and techniques.

It is defined by the Lean Construction Institute as “…the application of lean thinking to the design & construction process creating improved project delivery to meet client needs and improved efficiency for constructors.” Other definitions include, "...a philosophy for working based on continuous delivering of better value to customers whilst increasing business profitability and competitiveness" (ref Lean Thinking in Construction) and "... managing and improving the construction process to profitably deliver what the customer needs" (ref Constructing Excellence).

Whilst the goals of lean construction and lean production may be similar, the approaches are necessarily different, due largely to the fact that developing a building is a ‘project’ rather than ‘programme’ (ie it has a start and end rather than an ongoing activity such as a production line) and the product is is often a one off.

Lean construction is a continuous process that applies through design, procurement, manufacture and construction. It is an integrated process in which clients, designers, contractors, and suppliers must be committed to working together, focussing on delivering value (as seen by the ultimate customer) rather than low cost, and striving to get it ‘right first time’.

Some of the varied principles underpinning lean construction include:

* Improving communication.
* Eliminating waste and errors.
* Direct intervention to drive immediate and apparent change.
* Improving work planning and forward scheduling.
* Specifying value from the perspective of the customer.
* Identifying the processes that deliver customer value (the value stream).
* Eliminating activities that do not add value.
* Ensuring the working environment is clean, safe, and efficient.
* Continuous improvement.

Some of the techniques that can be adopted include:

* Using modelling and visualisation techniques to improve planning and communication.
* Early planning, to improve workflow, focussing on defining achievable tasks and avoiding mistakes, duplicated effort, out of sequence working and activity that does not add customer value. The objective is the maximisation of workflow and the minimisation of performance variation rather than point speed.
* Look-ahead scheduling.
* Pre-fabrication and modular building to reduce activity on site and better distribute the workload.
* Just-in-time deliveries.
* Value management techniques.
* Integrating the supply chain through partnering and collaborative practices.
* Benchmarking techniques and the use of key performance indicators.
* [[The_Last_Planner_System|Last Planner System]]
* Critical path analysis and management.
* Risk management techniques.
* Continuous improvement from one project to another.

= Uptake =

There is some suggestion that the adoption of lean construction has not been entirely successful. To a certain extent this is because some of its techniques are already part of best practice, however successive reports assessing the industry continue to be highly critical. Notably, the Government Construction Strategy, published in May 2011, suggested “..the UK does not get full value from public sector construction… “ and that “…there is broad consensus, spread both across the industry and its customers, that construction under-performs”, advocating a “leaning” of the procurement process.

The Egan report itself was not entirely welcomed, and there was some suggestion that applying experience in manufacturing to construction was unrealistic (Sir John Egan was chief executive of Jaguar Cars from 1984 to 1990, and chief executive of BAA from 1990 to 1999). In May 2008, ten years after publication of Rethinking Construction, Sir John Egan stated that "...we have to say we’ve got pretty patchy results. And certainly nowhere near the improvement we could have achieved, or that I expected to achieve…..I guess if I were giving marks out of 10 after 10 years I’d probably only give the industry about four out of 10" (ref [http://www.bre.co.uk/filelibrary/pdf/CLIP/SirJohnEgan21-05-08.pdf Egan: I’d give construction about 4 of 10]).

Block planning

2016-12-14T17:02:31Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

Block planning is an industrial planning system used for in-house production. A product type can be produced in different variations using the same resources and following the same basic process plan. Block planning supports the production planning and scheduling for this type of system. A block represents a pre-defined sequence of production orders of variable size.

Block planning enables the planning or pre-assignment of resource capacities in the production process for products with specific attributes. It enables a more rational and efficient use of those capacities. Blocks are defined with specific duration and attributes, for example, 3 days per block on which products are manufactured in various colours.

In piece-oriented sectors such as metal and paper production, upstream planning is often used to define the type of products and which attributes are to be produced. This typically relates to plant needing to be set up in a particular way, when it is inefficient in terms of time and costs to change the set-up more than is necessary.

There is more emphasis, in piece-oriented production, on the resource for which only one production step is executed. It is usual for an order for run over several resources, in which each of the operations could be grouped according to different aspects.

By contrast, the process industry commonly groups several orders together as a ‘campaign’, which is more defined by the material characteristics of the end product. The emphasis is more on an order level, as the process cannot normally be interrupted once it has begun.

Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA)

2016-12-14T17:01:24Z

The Institution of Civil Engineers:

= Introduction =

Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) is a design approach that focuses on ease of manufacture and efficiency of assembly. By simplifying the design of a product it is possible to manufacture and assemble it more efficiently, in the minimum time and at a lower cost.

Traditionally, DfMA has been applied to sectors such as the design of automotive and consumer products, both of which need to efficiently produce high quality products in large numbers. More recently, construction contractors have begun to adopt DfMA for the off-site prefabrication of construction components such as concrete floor slabs, structural columns and beams and so on.

DfMA combines two methodologies – Design for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA):

=== Design for Manufacture (DFM) ===

DFM involves designing for the ease of manufacture of a product’s constituent parts. It is concerned with selecting the most cost-effective materials and processes to be used in production, and minimising the complexity of the manufacturing operations.

=== Design for Assembly (DFA) ===

DFA involves design for a product’s ease of assembly. It is concerned with reducing the product assembly cost and minimising the number of assembly operations.

Both DFM and DFA seek to reduce material, overhead, and labour costs.

= DfMA principles =

In a similar approach to lean construction, applying DfMA enables the identification, quantification and elimination of waste or inefficiency in product manufacture and assembly. It can also be used as a benchmarking tool to study the products of competitors.

The main principles of DfMA are:

* Minimise the number of components: Thereby reducing assembly and ordering costs, reducing work-in-process, and simplifying automation.
* Design for ease of part-fabrication: The geometry of parts is simplified and unnecessary features are avoided.
* Tolerances of parts: Part should be designed to be within process capability.
* Clarity: Components should be designed so they can only be assembled one way.
* Minimise the use of flexible components: Parts made of rubber, gaskets, cables and so on, should be limited as handling and assembly is generally more difficult.
* Design for ease of assembly: For example, the use of snap-fits and adhesive bonding rather than threaded fasteners such as nuts and bolts. Where possible a product should be designed with a base component for locating other components quickly and accurately.
* Eliminate or reduce required adjustments: Designing adjustments into a product means there are more opportunities for out-of-adjustment conditions to arise.

= Advantages of DfMA =

Some of the main advantages of DfMA include:

=== Speed ===

One of the primary advantages of DfMA in construction is the significantly reduced programme on-site through the use of prefabricated elements.

=== Lower assembly cost ===

By using fewer parts, decreasing the amount of labour required, and reducing the number of unique parts, DfMA can significantly lower the cost of assembly.

=== Higher quality and sustainability ===

A highly automated approach can enhance quality and efficiency at each stage.

There may be less waste generation in the construction phase, greater efficiency in site logistics, and a reduction in vehicle movements transporting materials to site.

=== Shorter assembly time ===

DFMA shortens assembly time by utilizing standard assembly practices such as vertical assembly and self-aligning parts. DFMA also ensures that the transition from the design phase to the production phase is as smooth and rapid as possible.

=== Increased reliability ===

DfMA increases reliability by lowering the number of parts, thereby decreasing the chance of failure.

=== Safety ===

By removing construction activities from the site and placing them in a controlled factory environment there is the possibility of a significant positive impact on safety.
