Project handover
From the limited worked example of the Project Programme shown in Figure 8.2,
the following points can be gleaned:
•The overall duration of the project from the client deciding to proceed to
handover is 18 months.
•City Centre Architects have shown Stage 0 as a brief consultative period,
which includes agreement of their fee and appointment. The brief is expanded
at Stage 1, along with some Feasibility Studies and the rest of the team are
appointed prior to Stage 2 commencing.
•Stage 4 work will not progress until planning consent is granted and is shown
as two tranches: the work of the design team prior to tendering and conclusion
of the contractor design items after the Building Contract has been awarded.
•Stage 6 is not shown in its entirety as the aim would be to conclude this
as soon as possible after project handover and since there are no Stage 7
activities this stage is not shown.
Note:
(a)The overall duration could be reduced by overlapping the design team’s Stage
4 with the period required to obtain planning consent. The client would have to
accept the risk of doing this (design team fees for abortive or changed work).
(b)Dates are not shown to underline the fact that, in this instance, the programme
is indicative. If certain dates were to be contractual (for example, the date for
submission of the planning application) these can easily be added.
(c)If the contents of the programme were to be more contractual, client sign-off
periods for Stages 3 and 4 would have to be included.
