During the construction process, clients face a number of challenges that need to be overcome.
What specific issues need to be considered in facility management during construction and to what extent can facility managers provide support?
Budget management
Whether as a result of a shortage of skilled workers in the construction industry, constantly changing regulations and standards, inefficient planning and coordination or unforeseen delays in construction: there are rarely cases in which a construction project actually succeeds within the planned budget.
Facility managers can counteract this through efficient cost management. An accurate estimate of construction costs and the calculation of life cycle costs, also taking into account future operating and maintenance costs, are particularly important here in order to optimize the total cost of ownership.
Risk assessment and time management
If unforeseen events disrupt the construction process, this not only results in cost overruns, but often also delays, contractual penalties, legal conflicts or reputational damage. Let us support you with effective time management, monitoring of the construction process and consideration of the coordination of all trades. In this way, a smooth process can be guaranteed at all times and delays can be responded to in good time in an emergency.
Quality management
As early as the planning and construction phase, it must be ensured that the building meets all relevant construction and quality standards in the long term. This can be supported by expertise in quality control procedures and a sensible concept for fulfilling all requirements for the building. The use of service level agreements (SLAs) and key performance indicators (KPIs) is particularly helpful here.
Sustainability certificates
Nowadays, the focus is no longer just on the economic efficiency of the building, but sustainability is also playing an increasingly decisive role. In order to not only take sustainable materials and processes into account during construction planning, but also to
Effective management and analysis of building data
The basic framework of a successful construction process includes the documentation, management and analysis of all relevant building data. In order to implement this effectively and have a continuous overview of real-time data, software solutions have become indispensable in large construction projects.
