TYPICAL FLOOR CONSTRUCTION CYCLE

Hi h i b ildi l b ilt i d l l t d High-rise buildings are commonly built in densely populated countries or urban areas. A balanced floor construction cycle is critical for construction of the frame structures. The objectives in scheduling the floor cycle are to ensure smooth flows of resources scheduling the floor cycle are to ensure smooth flows of resources and to optimise the use of formwork and other materials. The floor area is usually divided into zones to allow the labour force

d f w k t i l i b tw Th ti f and formwork materials moving between zones. The preparation of the floor construction cycle would therefore be a resources allocation exercise.H h i l d diffi l h i i d However, the process is complex and difficult when it is done manually. Floats are created deliberately in the schedule to ensure the balance in resources and to provide buffers. Simulation that can demonstrate the real world operations is an effective tool in demonstrate the real world operations is an effective tool in handling this scheduling problem.

3D Interactive Method Statement

BRE398: Building Information Modelling

Method StatementMethod Statement

A th d t t t i itt d t th t A method statement is a written document that essentially details a safe system of work and identifies the conceivable hazards that may arise during the work y gthat is undertaken. Method statements are usually provided to the client by the principal contractor and/or to the principal contractor by the suband/or to the principal contractor by the sub-contractor(s). The Method statement should explain in detail the work The Method statement should explain in detail the work that is to be undertaken and the necessary remedial measures that need to be in place in order to protect the site workforce and in some cases members of the the site workforce and in some cases members of the pubic who may be affected by work actions.

Safety Instruction & TrainingSafety Instruction & Training

Expectation, understanding and motivation are based on what the individual perceives as being important. It is therefore appropriate to influence the pp pindividual's expectations and acknowledgement of risks and safety barriers through instruction, training risks and safety barriers through instruction, training and communication of goals and consequences.
