Program Review of Major Projects

Design, MCE News, Uncategorized

All projects have an inherent risk of program delay as it only takes one aspect of the project – such as untimely resolution of design issues, changes in the project team, or changes in scope – to impact the program. In multi-disciplinary major projects, this risk is amplified due to the complexity of the project. With the potential for program delays to lead to cost blowouts and unsatisfied clients, it is vital that the project team conducts regular program reviews of their major project.

The need for efficacy of the Interdisciplinary Design Check Process

Design, MCE News, Uncategorized

Lessons learnt during the delivery of major infrastructure projects tells us that inefficacy of the IDC process results in money wasted on revisiting an uncoordinated design, requiring designers to be re-engaged and construction impacted whilst resolving the issue. Inefficacy of the IDC process stems from a number of sources – the length of time allowed for the IDC process within the program is inadequate so designers are unable to properly review their peer’s work; too many IDCs are scheduled within the same timeframe leading to human error when reviewing multiple design packages; and IDCs being scheduled too early in the design process resulting in incomplete design documentation reviewed during the IDC process itself.READ MORE
