This post is written as we experience the Great Lockdown – this is nothing ever experienced in the history of humanity as we try to stop the already 155,000 deaths worldwide caused by this new virus and disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our kids have been out of school and locked at home for 5 weeks. We have been forced to work from home for the last 3 weeks. We have seen the full spectrum of emotions everywhere and anywhere. Life goes on slowly as we adapt to this new way of living. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The uncertainty is big and it is surrounded by many questions that do not have answers. Uncertainty is a difficult thing to bear. But let’s focus on things that are certain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New treatments and potentially a vaccine for Covid-19 are quickly developing.<\/li>
This storm will <\/strong>pass – we will get through this.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This is the time to PLAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is in moments like these that the best ideas are born. We are working hard in all our projects that are not yet on site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A big part of any construction project is spent in designing and planning for construction. The graphic below shows how designing and planning can easily take more than 50% of the overall time in a typical construction project.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTypical construction project life cycle IS: 15883 (Source: ‘A Handbook for Construction Project Planning and Scheduling’ by Virendra Kumar Paul, Chaitali Basu)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you consider the time that it takes to actually start construction work on site, you may realise that the decision to start the project should not be postponed. Most Architect’s offices have their staff working from home and are available to assist and connect with you through a variety of different platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the time to PLAN! Let’s get the ball rolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
