We aim for an interactive, collaborative process that brings engineering, procurement and construction together. The process of establishing a Path of Construction is an important part of aligning a team around a construction-driven approach to predictable capital project delivery. We made it part of our mission to get an operational Path of Construction in place with all of our clients. When Concord started working with companies to implement Advanced Work Packaging, we quickly discovered that most companies do not implement a Path of Construction as part of their primary deliverables. The Path of Construction is like the skeleton of a project without it, the entire operation is much more likely to collapse in upon itself. The POC is necessary because it is the only formal opportunity that a project team will have to align everybody around the construction-driven imperative, from procurement and engineering all the way to construction. The POC is developed very early in a project’s front-end definition phase. In Advanced Work Packaging terms, the POC is the step-by-step guide to your construction delivery strategy, outlining the sequencing of your Construction Work Areas and Construction Work Packages. A Construction Management Plan is also important, but it is not a POC.Ī Path of Construction is a document that explains how you are going to build your capital project in the field, and how engineering and procurement deliverables will support that effort in a timely fashion. While constructability analysis and reviews are important, they are entirely different from a Path of Construction, or POC. A modern Path of Construction document is not a reference to constructability. This short guide is intended to resolve this confusion and to serve as a quick-reference guide for new and established AWP and Predictability practitioners alike.įirst, let’s dispel two stubborn rumours. The capital project construction industry is in transition, and there is a great deal of confusion around the definition and purpose of one key element of modern capital project management - the Path Of Construction. A straightforward guide to this critical component of modern, predictable capital project management
