Procurement Building to be operational by September 2013 University and project team agreed this was ambitious Agreed to a new approach to the design, approvals, tendering, construction and handover

Slide 7

Project Issues Design and construction phase issues with the cladding 1. Initial tendering and pricing procedure for the cladding 2. Methodology and construction of the external cladding

Slide 8

Tendering & Pricing Procedure Programme constraints 8 week turnaround Sub-contractor quotes to main contractor Lowest price chosen Guess what happened? Chosen sub-contractor had not included for any of the fixings to attach the cladding panels Could BIM have helped?

Slide 9

Method & Construction of cladding 12 week manufacture in Germany Delay of 5 weeks due to manufacture supply chain issues Slower than expected installation by SC Tight site constraints Lack of available storage Inexperience of SC installing this type of panel Lack of appropriate machinery Delay on when building would be watertight

Slide 10

Building wrapped to allow internal works before being watertight
