Best Practices
Some of the Best Practices C&I employs:
Best Practice: Gated Approach to Project Management – We focus on the definition of project key constraints, scope, requirements and deliverables (and obtain client buy-in) prior to design details; this ensures the right scope is being engineered and built with minimal rework. We tailor the level of detail and deliverables for the various project phases, including:
- Conceptual
- Feasibility
- Definition / Funding
- Implementation
- Startup
Best Practice: Review key aspects of the project with appropriate stakeholders – C&I maintains focus on team reviews for quality assurance. Whenever possible, we include stakeholders from Construction, Operations, Maintenance, Project Management, Environmental, and Engineering in key reviews.
- Constructability Reviews
- 3D Model Reviews
- Estimate Reviews
- Risk Workshops
- Progress Reviews
- Schedule Workshops
Best Practice: Documenting Design and Project Basis Information – C&I documents the key assumptions and design parameters for ease of understanding, change management, and communication:
- Process Design Basis
- Estimate Basis
- Schedule Basis
- Project Scope
Best Practice: Review and Signoff Standards for Key Project Documents – C&I follows written protocol for verification, change management, and signoff of key project documents, such as:
- P&ID’s
- Equipment Arrangements
- One-Line Diagrams
- PHA / HAZOP documents
- 3D Models
Best Practice: Project Information Sharing – C&I provides easy access to project data via:
- Weekly Team Meetings
- Action Item Lists
- Weekly and Monthly Progress Reporting
- Data distribution – Web, Sharefile, GoTo Meeting, Site Visits
- Milestone Identification and Reporting
