Lean Construction Ireland Annual Book of Cases 2021 46 l f 2 going to affect the follow-on trades if it was not delivered on time. The transition from the LPS to the FieldView system gave a flow to the project with synergies between civil, building, and M&E teams being key to the current success. Contractors’ supervisors became the schedulers, planning in detail their works and the works of their colleagues around them, creating predictable workflows. Communication was continuous throughout, with the many challenges of such a fast-track project overcome through proper team planning, coordination, and driving for the same shared goal. Several additional tools are being deployed to deliver the Lean Approach as follows: Viewpoint:The entire project team usesViewpoint as a Common Data Environment (CDE) for the sharing and dissemination of all information and project records.Bespoke workflows are established from the beginning of the project for technical submittal approval processes, benchmarking process, and the tracking of RFIs.This ensures fast-track production proceeds on a large scale with a clear understanding of acceptable standards and performance metrics. BIM: John Paul Construction utilises several digital tools to manage the different aspects of a project.The fully integrated, coordinated, and up-to-date BIM models allow site teams to accurately set-out all elements from the model, generate live as-built records, and use tablet applications such as“DaluxViewer” to compare virtual views of the planned installation against actually completed works. DaluxViewer : DaluxViewer is a computer/mobile based tool that provides an easy spread of information, and visualisation of the model.A portable solution for accessing design models and changes on the ground or at the office. As John Paul Construction continues to grow, the use of Lean tools and techniques to improve our project delivery is key.The use of VDC (Virtual Design and Construction) will also be critical to ensure continuous improvement in our industry. Continued upskilling of staff to better understand the benefits of these advanced analytic methods and technologies will be vital, as well as generating a proactive culture for quality, safety, scheduling, and cost control. The future looks bright for these digital tools and can only boost productivity in our challenging sector and attract more young and talented people to take lean construction to the next level.
