Collaborative Working

Our Collaborative Working team provide a value adding and project cost reducing service through the creation and implementation of the British Standard code of best practice BS1192:2007 based Standard Methods & Procedures (SMP) to deliver co-ordinated design information.  Efficient and effective access and sharing of data is achieved throughout a project’s lifecycle with the support and integration of the BS1192:2007 based Collaborative Working Procedures and the use of a Project Extranet.  Reductions in both project time and non-value adding project costs are achieved through efficient searching, access and revision control of data throughout the bid, design, construction and FM stages of a project.  Value adding and cost reduction benefits include:

• Fast and effective links to electronic documents, including 2D/3D CAD data.
• Better planning and design communication.
• Improvements in the quality of the design and build.
• Efficient control over document revisions and approval routes.
• Data access control available through user admin rights per project.
• Password secure access online to all project stakeholders (TW, Supply Chain, Sub-contractors, clients).
• Reduction in non-value adding costs through electronic transfer of data throughout the project.

TW have successfully implemented the use of the BS1192:2007 Collaborative Working Procedures and project extranets on over 75% of TW’s projects including PFI St Helens and Whiston hospitals, DLR 3car Extension, BSF Sheffield schools, T5 Ancillary Buildings, LU Baker Street Station Modernisation, Harefield Academy and Kings Cross Station Package 4 and 6.
