3. PAT# 6 Automated Design
Through Design Process Improvements — Boost
construction productivity by 10% and support improvement
in handover and facility operations. 59 Success Enablers

4. The Challenge: barriers and gaps
• Different systems used by E, P and C
• Integration among different silos (Engineering, Procurement, Construction)
• Sub-optimization by E & P
• No proper flow of information from engineering to construction and back
• Different interpretations of contractual requirements
• No clear definition of project deliverables & responsibilities
• Changes in regulations and requirements
• We are the “C” in “EPC”. We have no control on Engineering or Procurement
• Contractor cannot ask suppliers/vendors for more than what agreed with EP
company

5. Project Control Strategy
• Reliant Pull-Driven Technique optimize supply chain rather than sub optimization
• Proper Project Work Breakdown Structure
• Integrated EPC schedule with Emphasis on Handover
• 3D/BIM models built progressively based on Handover requirements
• Early-on Cooperation with the Partners
• Electronic Data Interfaces (EDI): Standards and specifications for integrating
with partners and subcontractors
• Standardized Object naming convention to be used by all participants.
• Path of construction
• 3 Months Look-Ahead Schedule and Material forward plan
• Reliable 3 weeks Look-Ahead Schedule

6. Emerging Technologies and Practices
• Build a central secured & integrated data warehouse to be utilized by all
stakeholders
• Visual BIM-based/3D Model (Model-based scheduling)
• Simulation (4D planning) (Integrate schedule data with model data)
• Laser scanning (As-built) and feedback to engineering
• AWP
• Common alignment process among contractors, EP, Owner, suppliers, etc.
starting from the kick-off meeting after project award (full life-cycle of project
execution)
• Building Workflows around efficient collaboration environment (EDMS, RFI,
3D/I-Room Collaboration)
• It is highly recommended that owners come on board
