Project Management

Project Management Distinct Phases

Processes for implemetation are designed to ensure the customer get what they expect, a fully installed and commissioned system, at the right price. These phases are useful as an example guidline in ensuring the overall quality of the technical side of any project.There are many variants to implemetation of projects, each individual to the type of project. (e.g. design/build vs. design/bid/build).

Design Narrative
A during project programing we use a consensitive approach by asking questions and listening to our clients. Through plain language dialog, we define the desired functional objective. We translate these objectives into technical systems through a define and refinement process. As a feedback mechamism, we develope a design narrative to ensure that you understand that we know what you want.

Equipment Selection
After initial consultations, we develope a complete list of equipment for the facility. This list is then refined with the help of the client and circulated to all involved in the project. Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) pricing figures are calculated for inclusion in initial project budgets.

Architectural Infrastructure Design
Specification of the physical infrastructure is necessary to coordinate with building construction schedules. Pipes and boxes for wiring runs, panels and cabling for the technical equipment, is determined to calculate accurate costs for the full wiring and installation of the project.

Budgeting Phase
An accurate budget for the technical side of the project can now be completed. This includes equipment costs and wiring and installation costs. During this phase the actual equipment selections may be changed to match budgetary goals.

Construction Documentation (CD)

Specifications & Performace Criteria
The system design is translated into a documaentation package that defines the project performance on a detailed level.A performace criteria is used to ensure that industry standard methods are and quality fulfilled. A Scope of Work (SOW) is delevoped to define the actual technical system requirements.

CAD Drawing Production
Representative floor plan and /or technical system drawings are developed to be included in the Construction Documents.

Bid Documents
The CD's are used to generate RFP or ITB documents, unless the project is Design/Build. Bir responses are evaluated and seletion of vendors is performed.

Construction Administration (CA)

Equipment Purchase
Once budgets have been approved, equipment is ordered. Delivery is managed to coincide with completion of construction. Some equipment can be ordered close to the completion date, other items with long lead times are ordered months prior to the completion date. During this process we will ensure that the latest and most cost effective versions of the equipment are purchased. This is especially important with items such as computers which are subject to constant technological advances.

Wiring and Equipment Installation
Once the wiring and installation budget has been approved, the system wiring is started with exact design documentation on all aspects of cabling and interface panels. Most of the wiring can be prefabricated off-site ready for installation at the optimum time in the project's schedule.

Facility Commissioning
Once all the equipment has been delivered and the wiring is complete the entire installation will be commissioned to ensure all systems are fully operational.We will manage this phase of the project together with representatives from the equipment manufacturers where needed. Training of facility staff may also be included in this phase

First Use & Staff Training
After commissioning, first use training is performed with contigious stand by support. Subsequest staff training for operation and remedial maintenance is also performed.
