Infrastructure Delivery Management System Process Flow
Explanation of Stages as per the Standard for the Delivery and Maintenance of Infrastructure using a Gateway System developed by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB)
Stage 5: Design development
In this stage, the design development report is formulated. The report translates the concept report into a document which paints a picture of what is to be delivered in terms of the construction package. The report outlines the purpose, a general description, the location of the works, as well as information on the design team (name, area of responsibility and contact particulars). The way legislative requirements including National Building Regulations is to be satis ed, legal restrictions on the site or works, and statutory and local authority permissions which have been obtained or still need to be obtained is also included. A list of reports together with a brief overview of the reports which have informed the design development forms part of the documentation.
The development report furthermore includes key design features (for example re safety systems), design assumptions (for example, traf c ows), design parameters (e.g. target energy consumption levels), design standards to be employed (e.g. international, national or organisational standards); and sketches, drawings, diagrams, and outline speci cations of the proposed works.
A strategy for completion which sets out what needs to be done, inspected and tested to achieve satisfactory completion/ commissioning of each stage of the works and a schedule for implementation and cost plan is also included.
The main output of this stage is the design development report which needs to be approved before the project can progress to the next stage i.e. Stage 6.
Stage 6: Design documentation
This stage sets out the “scope of work” i.e. speci cations and description of the goods, services, or engineering and construction works which are to be provided, and any other requirements and constraints relating to the way the contract work is to be performed. It maps out what needs to be done, inspected and tested to achieve satisfactory completion of each construction stage and the building as a whole. Included in this process is the requirements for a quality management system or a quality management plan.
It furthermore contains information on the manufacture, fabrication, and construction of the works. This stage is critical as this is the basis on which the tender speci cations, bill of quantities (materials, parts, labour, and their costs) and tender estimates are developed.
The main outputs of this stage are design drawings, tender documentation, and tender estimates.
Stage 7: Works stage
This is the stage where the quotes from successful bidders are accepted and the contract for the project is awarded. It is only then, after months and even years of planning, that the actual construction work starts.
In this stage temporary works and permanent works are provided in line with the contract, risks associated with health, safety and the environment on the site is managed, and the works are carried out according to the contracted speci cations. Quality checks are done to con rm that the design intent is met, and any defects are corrected.
The outputs of this stage are a practical completion report captured on the Education Facilities Management System (EFMS); and a school infrastructure assessment report which is captured on the National Education Infrastructure Management System (NEIMS). The latter report includes information on all infrastructure at the time of completion i.e. existing and new.
