Practical strategies to improve water systems in hospitals
Simplifying the complicated
At Wood, we are uniquely positioned to provide the leadership and focus needed for project success. Beginning with the end in mind, we will work to establish a start-up and commissioning strategy that supports project verification needs.
Our construction management services include:
- Pre-construction
- Site logistics
- Integrated project delivery
- Digital delivery
- Construction quality
- Risk management
- Lean execution
- Project controls
- Synchro 4D planning
- Vendor & subcontract management
- Start-up & completion
Laser focus on integration
With an emphasis on well-planned integration to meet project goals and objectives, we work to cohesively to bring in more members for success across different project phases.
Construction Work Packages
As we progress through the design of our projects, we are focused on creating construction work packages (CWP) that optimise the sequence of engineering and construction:
- Supporting timely and structured construction sequencing from early site development through to final project handover
- Engaging construction specialists early in the detail engineering phase to ensure practical and fit for purpose designs that will realise project cost and schedule savings
- Applying proven project tools and programs for safety, capital efficiency, quality, construction work packaging/planning, subcontract management, project controls, and interface management
- Leveraging trade partner relationships who hold similar values and foster a culture compatible with project objectives
