Why Plan Before You Build?
Correcting a mistake before it happens is easier and cheaper than discovering it after construction, then breaking it out and redoing it.
Without Pre-Planning
- Each contractor works his own way, based on his own judgement.
- The acceptance criteria aren't clear to him before he starts.
- You discover mistakes after construction.
- Redoing work costs you time and money, and disputes with the contractor grow.
With Pre-Planning
- Our engineers sit down with the contractor on site before he starts.
- We agree with him on the construction method according to good practice.
- He knows how his work will be inspected before he starts.
- Fewer mistakes, and less rework.
What We Agree On
We review the subcontractor's proposed construction method with him, and agree on these points before starting.
Acceptance Criteria
We explain to the contractor how his work will be inspected, before he starts.
