Proper planning, design, and construction of an education facility support student, staff, and visitor safety and well-being. These activities create education facility accessibility in an aesthetically pleasing, welcoming atmosphere.
Because many schools offer activities during the summer, stakeholders typically want an educational facility to be constructed as soon as possible. As a result, construction teams must safely and efficiently work to complete the project on time. These tips can help.
Implement these methods to increase efficiency in education facility construction.
Use Technology in Education Facility Construction
The use of current technology when constructing an education facility can uncover and resolve issues before they arise:
- Building information modeling (BIM) provides a preview of the finished education facility, allowing for adjustments to resolve potential problems in design or construction.
- Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) help construction teams visualize real-time data and classroom and building models for better decision-making.
Prepare the Education Facility’s Worksite
Plan each step of the education facility construction project:
- The construction team should work with key stakeholders to create and implement a site logistics plan.
- The site logistics plan should address material storage, changes in traffic patterns, and placing fencing to manage noise and control debris.
- The site logistics plan must be communicated to stakeholders to ensure safety and minimize disruptions.
Communicate with Stakeholders When Constructing an Education Facility
Regular communication with stakeholders about the education facility’s construction supports safety and helps complete the project on time and within budget:
- The facility managers and construction supervisors should form strong relationships to strengthen trust and peace of mind.
- The field leader should coordinate the construction team’s schedules and work with the project managers, design team, and facilities manager to complete the project.
- Project managers and construction teams should gather the upfront work and align scheduled tasks.
- The construction team should regularly communicate the logistics plan to stakeholders to indicate the project timing, the areas affected, and temporary closures and detours.
