Follow on Google News | Strategies That Effectively Reduce The Project Turnaround TimeIn theory, faster turnaround time for building projects would mean hiring a larger staff or paying overtime. However, this approach would greatly increase the required finances, making the project much more expensive. Also, considering the current emergency situations of COVID-19, larger staff would also increase the risk of infection. Smart Design Decisions The project design is an unavoidable and a vital step that not only helps during construction, but also to get a project approved. The project design stage also provides an opportunity to make smart engineering decisions that help in building operations, maintenance and future possible renovation. When working with a team of expert design engineers, equipment layouts and specifications consider not only cost and performance, but also the installation. Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be used for identifying the optimal layout and detect potential conflict between components before installation process. By following clash detection and resolution process, MEP engineers can detect possible issues before the construction work even begins. Each conflict resolved cuts down the possibility of change order during the construction. The following advantages can be introduced into the project with an optimized design: · Least amount of materials and man hours required, while meeting the project requirements. · Optimized drawings and specifications layouts at design stage that avoid workflow conflict among skilled trades. · Faster project approval while ensuring the local building codes are met. The use of eCommerce in MEP design (https://www.ny- Effective Project Management While an optimized building design acts like an instruction manual for faster project delivery, the next step in to make sure the design documents are followed during the construction for ensuring faster turnaround time. Communication is the key. Coordination among the skilled trades associated with the project is critical to prevent conflicts and minimize delays. Subcontractors must not only be familiarized with the scope of the work, but also how it interacts with the tasks concerning other tradesmen. For ensuring proper communication and coordination, a kickoff meeting is strongly recommended. To counter the challenges introduced by COVID-19, the following advanced technologies can be used for construction administration, and also complement social distancing measures. · Drones · Wearable Technology · Digital Construction Documents Media Contact vasim.s@ny-engineers.com End
