Industry

The building is not the deliverable. Production is.

On an industrial build the structure is the easy part. Plant layout drives the building, client-supplied equipment sits on a critical path you own, and wet and dry commissioning stack into the last weeks of the programme. Owners want the line running at rate; contractors want to be paid for the work, including the work the client's equipment delayed. Hivenox Construction OS is designed to hold construction, installation and commissioning as one sequence, so the handover date and the first-production date are the same conversation.

Workflows

Five workflows, one record

The work itself, named the way the people who run it name it.

One sequence to production

Construction, process installation and commissioning held as a single critical path, reported against first production rather than practical completion, so nobody celebrates a handover while the line is still months from running.

Client-supplied equipment

Client-supplied and contractor-supplied equipment tracked against the same programme: purchase orders, supplier confirmations and delivery dates set beside the date the programme assumes. A late client delivery set against the activities it holds up, with the record for an EOT claim.

Layout changes into the packages

Plant layout changes tied to the structural, services and equipment packages they affect, before the slab is poured around the wrong set-out. Plinths, penetrations and service connections checked against the latest layout.

Dry and wet commissioning

Pre-commissioning checks, dry and wet commissioning and performance tests recorded system by system. Each failed test raised as an NCR and closed out on the record, with results kept for the owner's acceptance.

Margin on a fixed price

Variations, claims and cost-to-complete held by package against a fixed-price contract, with escalation on materials and subcontracts visible the day it happens, not at month-end.

Records

The records it runs on

Named the way they appear on site, in the contract and in the claim.

Quick answer

How do industrial contractors keep commissioning from delaying first production?

Plan construction, equipment installation and commissioning as one critical path, measured against first production rather than practical completion. Track client-supplied equipment against the date the programme assumes, record dry and wet commissioning system by system, and close every failed test as an NCR. Hivenox Construction OS tracks equipment purchase orders and deliveries.
