Successful Plan of Work – In Use


Listen Later

In this eighth episode introducing the Royal Institute of British Architects plan of work (RIBA), Ian moves on to Stage 7, Operation. This concludes the eight episode series in which Ian has explained the stages of creation and utilisation of this document. This is a UK centred document, but has international context and use for all construction projects. Ian will cover stage outcomes, employers governance, technical governance, and work streams including program management, finance, BIM, core design, construction operational management, statutory processes, procurement and information exchanges. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The outcomes required are the building being operated, maintained and utilised efficiently in line with the original plans. 
  • For employer governance a post occupancy review is undertaken and signed off. In terms of technical governance all the implementation processes have been signed off.
  • Core Design requires undertaking any post occupancy evaluations of the building's ongoing performance a year to two years into operation.
  • Information exchanges include feedback from any post occupancy evaluation that has been undertaken and the updating of any building manuals including health and safety literature or records. 

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Hopefully with all the planning that we’ve done through the various stages of the plan of work, we’ve now come to a fully integrated and operational building or facility that is meeting the requirements that we set out at the very beginning.’   

‘Finance ; this is now into day to day life so we are constantly updating the operational model as required making sure we’re capturing the forward maintenance plan in terms of capital expenditure.’

‘The contractor is mobilising for the first year to get ready. He’s then operating it for a year and then he’s getting ready to get out. So you’re not actually getting the best optimised use of your contractor over a three year contract.’
