\"It is increasingly rare for an NCC construction project not to be delivered on time, and good planning is the key!\"<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

That's how Henrik Lindberg, Design Manager, NCC Building DK, begins our conversation about location-based scheduling. Henrik has worked at NCC for the past 7 years, striving to implement the method. And he succeeded!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Nicolinehus in Aarhus<\/span><\/h4>\n

The latest example is the residential development 'Nikolinehus' in Aarhus. A sizeable new story on Aarhus \u00d8 covering 65,000m2 at around 1 billion DKK. This was delivered on time, and according to Henrik, the client Martin Busk from Brix Group is very satisfied.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tommy Brun Rasmussen, Project Manager and Structural Engineer at NCC for the Nikolinehus project, shares:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"As I see it, location-based scheduling is the only right way to plan, especially with a billion-dollar project like Nikolinehus. You cannot achieve clarity in any other way on such large constructions. For example, it wouldn't be possible with Gantt charts. In Nikolinehus, our entire schedule was on one A0 sheet. In Gantt, it would fill 50 A0 sheets. The ability to coordinate all trades and locations visually makes all the difference. With all activities, we know exactly where we need to be \u2013 and when.\"<\/em><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Progress reporting<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Tommy has just attended a course in general project management, where the discussion focused on handling milestones, among other things.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"With location-based scheduling, you are given milestones as a gift because activities are distributed across locations. At the same time, you can follow up at the location, and for that, we have used the Exicute app. Here, we monitor the status and progress and can precisely document how far we have come for supervisor and construction meetings. We often experience that foremen say they have completed XYZ. Then, we can immediately check the app to see if it's correct. If not, we can document the opposite and discuss it. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, I did city registration in Excel. One of the challenges was that from the moment I registered a location and walked towards the trailer to enter it on my PC, I was stopped by 4-5 people, each with important and urgent questions. By the time I reached the trailer, I had almost forgotten that I was in the middle of registering a location. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone agrees that progress reporting is important, but it's a big task with the 'old' method like Excel. With the app, you get it done!\"<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

250 pages in Gantt = 1 page in LBS<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Henrik Lindberg goes on to discuss some of the advantages of the method.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The schedule I have now contains 25,000 activities. In Gantt, it fills 250 pages. The same schedule takes only ONE page in the Location-based Schedule. And on that one page, I have a visual overview of my entire schedule.\"\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Risk analyses and transparency<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Henrik continues: \"With this method, I get an overview of where the challenges in my schedule lie. That is the most crucial advantage. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In practice, it means that when I use the method, I simultaneously receive a continuous risk analysis of my schedule.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

As I plan, I immediately get an overview of the schedule's challenges. And because the method is so visual and easy to adjust, it's easy to address those challenges continuously.\" \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Reservations<\/span><\/h3>\n

There is a typical reservation regarding the method, which we confront Henrik with:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Is it true that Location-based Scheduling only works when there are many repetitions?\"<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Henrik replies: \"No, that's not true. Whether it's a residential construction with 500 identical units or a complex project with many diverse locations, the point of Location-based Scheduling is entirely different. The key is to get a visual overview of where the challenges in the schedule lie. With the method, you are given a risk analysis of your schedule, and you don't get that with Gantt. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I would actually prefer to say that it's the opposite. A simple commercial building\u2014you can easily manage that with Gantt. But a complex construction, you have to do that with LBS to be able to oversee it. <\/em>It will still be a complex construction, but with LBS, you can manage it!\"<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Good advice for implementation<\/span><\/h3>\n

Henrik and his team have managed to implement Location-based Scheduling in one of Denmark's largest construction companies. It has taken years, but now it's running. He has developed a methodology and has found that it works. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the three most important keys in that methodology:<\/span><\/p>\n
