Identifying cost savings on a large-scale transport project
Identifying cost savings on a large-scale transport project
Challenge
Our client was looking for solutions to improve efficiencies and reduce costs across a large-scale transport project.
Our solution
We carried out an in-depth review to identify how the application of standards could maximize efficiency, identify critical gaps and improve the project’s bottom line. This involved:
Consulting technical industry experts for up-to-date sector insights
Delivering exploratory workshops to identify cost-saving potential across civil engineering, power and systems
Producing a review and assessment report of the client’s formal and informal standards portfolio
Conducting a gap analysis and needs assessment report
The result
A 5% cost saving was generated across the project by:
Identifying standards gaps, and reducing inconsistent interpretations by providing clarity
Improving uniformity in standards application and interpretation across the supply chain
Streamlining third-party compliance and approval processes
Addressing a conservative process culture to apply solutions to its ‘worst case plus’ planning and over-specification
