Planning & Programming of Logistics

I was appointed Planning Manager at initial stages of the project development the £100 Million Emergency Care Centre project in late 2008. This role also included development of a logistical and methodology plan required to serve the project’s needs. The project was located in the centre of one the busiest NHS Hospital and Teaching facility in Europe. It was also in a cul-de-sac location. It required:-

Hoist Analysis / Number Requirements

During tender stage, time is often at a premium and costs for vital plant requirements can often be assessed recklessly. On some projects, these may be on site for a considerable time, and can easily cost £1000 per week for hire alone. I have produced a simple spreadsheet which ultimately identifies the number of hoists required to perform identified duties over a specific programme period. This is an invaluable exercise which requires only entry of programme data, hoist spec, cycle and loading times and quantities of materials being used.

Case Study Required by Asta Development – Developers of Asta Powerproject

I was appointed Planning Manager at initial stages of the project development the £100 Million Emergency Care Centre project in late 2008. On its conclusion in 2013, of this award winning project (winner of the prestigious CIOB Construction Manager of the Year Award 2013 in the New Build & Refurbishment £40-£100 Million category), I was approached by Asta Development to assist in their publication of a case study of the project. This highlighted my extensive use of their Project Management software (Powerproject) and some of the challenges the software helped me overcome.
