A digital solution that facilitates the structured planning and execution of construction projects, it integrates front-end planning with construction execution. This ensures projects are broken down into manageable work packages, each aligned with specific deliverables and resources. For example, a petrochemical plant expansion might utilize such a system to define work areas, assign engineering deliverables, and track material availability, ensuring each activity is synchronized and optimized.
These systems enhance project predictability by improving communication, reducing rework, and streamlining workflows. Their value lies in providing a single source of truth for project data, leading to better decision-making and improved project outcomes. Early adoption of these systems was driven by the need to address cost overruns and schedule delays common in complex industrial projects.
