5. ‘Choosing Costain’ Introduction What is Primavera P6 Enterprise Planning?

6. ‘Choosing Costain’ Enterprise Planning

7. ‘Choosing Costain’ The Way We Were Primavera adopted since mid 1990s Mostly still standalone Limited Multi user - P3 & SureTrak together LAN access from one location

8. ‘Choosing Costain’ Why Change? - The Dartford Project Single Scheme Two projects In total seven separate phases through ECI process Multi user – Design and Construction Initially 2 planners Up to 8 users working on the project at peak Access across WAN Costain computers accessing Costain network Site Team involvement Section Managers reviewing live data Updating progress every two weeks

9. ‘Choosing Costain’ Issues Multi-user access Users from different companies, different locations Naming Convention Consistency of code structures Coding that applies through phases Integrating Design & Construction programmes Linking but not driving Database security – varying user permissions Developed standard hierarchy of security - global and project

10. ‘Choosing Costain’ Benefits Better communication between partners All working in same environment Standard reports across phases and contracts Consistent reporting across projects and phases Shared access from different offices/home by VPN Ability to work collaboratively from home Robust data storage – not on a PC No loss of data from site theft of PC, laptop or server No loss of data from power failure on site Visibility and Ownership of Programme Remote peer review of programme data

11. ‘Choosing Costain’ Where we are now Multi user collaboration common place Used widely on large projects and JVs Minimum Standards of planning being used Bespoke Costain training courses deployed Currently being used on (almost) all projects For 90% clients 90% Costain Planners using Enterprise Most JV partners and key supply chain using Enterprise

12. ‘Choosing Costain’ Growing Pains The skill set of planners Diverse range of skills amongst people called ‘planners’ The plan only as good as the weakest link No industry standard of competency available Different Client requirements across sectors The one database solution does not always fit all Issues with Enterprise settings not allowing diversity Connectivity to the Enterprise JV partners IT permissions needing to be adjusted Project infrastructure not adequate

13. ‘Choosing Costain’ Possession Planning

14. ‘Choosing Costain’ EV Process and reporting

15. ‘Choosing Costain’ Whole Project Interface with Risk Analysis

16. ‘Choosing Costain’ The Journey so far Enterprise requirement recognised Planning community Management Full-time resource assigned Enterprise and standardisation strategies developed

17. ‘Choosing Costain’ Enterprise Goals: Collaboration Standardisation Increased consistency and quality of programmes

18. ‘Choosing Costain’ Collaboration Goals All projects from all sectors in one database Single instance of data, shared by all Access from anywhere by anyone Secure management of users and permissions Data security and integrity Licences consolidated, shared and quicker to deploy

19. ‘Choosing Costain’ Standardisation Goals Identify, support & disseminate good practice Create minimum standards whilst allowing flexibility Encourage standard codes, calendars, reports Standard programme layouts Uniform planning experience Enable easier collaboration and handovers

20. ‘Choosing Costain’ The Solution Technology – Enterprise Solution Enables collaboration by dispersed teams Single project user experience Best Practice Set standards to promote consistency Deliver Costain bespoke training to communicate standards

21. ‘Choosing Costain’ Technology Solution

22. ‘Choosing Costain’ The Best Practice Solution

23. ‘Choosing Costain’ Benefits of Consistency Support to less expert planners Standard solutions to common tasks Calendars, codes, code values, layouts Easier handover between planners e.g. at contract award Standard solutions to interfaces to other applications Standard Coding allows meaningful grouping Apply uncertainty to PRA, formats to Chainlink Useful reports across entire database Resources across contracts and sectors for SCM Visibility of Temporary Works for Engineering Services Dashboards for Management Information

24. ‘Choosing Costain’ Improved collaboration Data more accessible Efficient IT management Robust IT systems Improved user support Best in class planning system Non standard Inefficient Confusing for business Poor data security Best practice Consistent approach Easier handover of data Multiple Standalone Applications Single Oracle Primavera P6 Enterprise System Standardisation ‘The Costain Way’ Multiple Differing Procedures Enterprise System Best Practice STEP CHANGE Combined Benefits

25. ‘Choosing Costain’ Changing The Way We Work Enterprise System + Shared Best Practice = Step Change Dispersed Project Teams Various sources - JV Partners, Supply Chain Varied locations - Throughout UK, Overseas A14 Ellington to Fen Ditton £1.2bn ECI Contract – Regular 4 location meetings on screen – Client Designer fully involved – Basingstoke, Cambridge, Epsom, Maple Cross – Overview, teach & communicate programme

26. ‘Choosing Costain’ Changing The Way We Work Client access to P6 Port Talbot Distributor Road On demand deployment Hinkley Point Church Village Bypass Frankley WTW Enhanced Support User ‘shadowing’ support Easier Admin
