Eric Ingersoll has conducted analysis which suggests that if everyone on earth had access to just a median level of electricity (about 4,000 kilowatt hours compared to an existing rate of 15,000 kilowatt hours in the U.S.), even then, we’d need to triple our energy infrastructure.
The root of project dispute is usually a lack of common understanding about the why, the what, and the how related to a project.Why the project is being built, what needs to be designed and constructed, and how this will be accomplished.
If we begin to dig deeper at this root and help stakeholders to work together differently to make sure they have this common understanding, we will not only improve the way projects are delivered but also the way people feel about their experience working on a project.. 2.Design the business case first to avoid missing ways to discover what value looks like.The industry is reinventing how design and construction happen but to do this all parties must be involved as early as possible in the project, ideally when the client is beginning to conceive the business problem they must solve.
The first place to start innovation is around the definition of customer value and the range of options that might exist to help a client achieve that value.. 3.Working standards and efficiency are paramount.
As we move into a DfMA world, it’s important that progress is influenced by the workers who are going to be installing the work, and that they are given the opportunity to do their jobs in the safest, best way possible.
This will also simplify the work, reduce the number of site operatives needed and the level of experience required.Here you have people working in new circumstances, each with their own business imperatives, and yet the government was able to get the public and private sector together to create this document, to galvanise industry and achieve that level of buy-in.
This was made possible by the fact that the COVID-19 crisis has brought the industry together.The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) and the officials in The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) worked closely to forge a much better link between government and industry.
We’ve seen the CLC successfully deal with things like keeping construction sites open and the launch of the talent retention scheme.All of this has given industry a new, unified voice in government; an important step for a sector which hasn’t necessarily been widely listened to in the past..
