Process
The construction lifecycle, one phase at a time.
Every project runs through the same five phases, against the same documentation standard. Scroll through the lifecycle to see what happens at each step.
Project lifecycle
From pre-construction to handover, one phase at a time.
Scroll through the five phases of a typical construction project. Each phase is delivered against a documented plan; each handoff is signed off.
- 01 Phase 01
Pre-construction
We confirm scope, budget and programme. A Class 2 estimate and a risk-loaded schedule are produced. Long-lead items are identified and the procurement sequence is locked.
- Class 2 estimate from quantity take-off
- Risk-loaded baseline schedule
- Long-lead procurement plan
- Owner decision log opened
- 02 Phase 02
Substructure & foundations
Foundations, piling and below-grade works are installed. Site logistics, hoarding and temporary works are commissioned before any structure is visible above ground.
- Piling and ground improvement
- Below-grade waterproofing
- Temporary works and hoarding
- Site logistics and access
- 03 Phase 03
Superstructure
The frame rises. Cores, slabs and columns are poured or erected to a planned sequence. Quality holds and structural observations are logged at every pour and weld.
- Core and slab sequencing
- Steel erection and welding inspection
- Cast-in plates and embeds
- Structural observations logged
- 04 Phase 04
MEP & envelope
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-in runs in parallel with the envelope. Clash detection is run weekly; commissioning logs are opened as systems come online.
- MEP rough-in coordinated with BIM
- Envelope and curtain wall installation
- Weekly clash detection workshops
- Commissioning logs opened
- 05 Phase 05
Fit-out & handover
Fit-out and commissioning close out the works. The operation and maintenance file is compiled as we go, and the owner is trained before the keys are handed over.
- Fit-out and finishes
- System commissioning and tuning
- O&M file compiled in real time
- Owner training and handover
