Project preparation and requirements

Construction management is an important service provided by an experienced and expert project manager who is responsible for the successful execution of a project with a focus on scope, costs, quality, safety, and delivery time of a new construction. When a (bio-)pharmaceutical organization decides to expand or innovate, new constructions are often necessary. These might include a new cleanroom, a new process installation, a manufacturing facility, or a laboratory. To achieve business goals, keep operations running and meet other objectives, the project must enable (daily) work during construction and be delivered on budget and on time. A productive project team must be formed and various parties, such as contractors and suppliers, must be managed from the initial design of the facility or process through to operation.

How can Progress help you with this?

From the project design stage, the construction managers of Progress participate in the detail engineering of a project and supervise the entire construction process. This gives the project organization and construction management the assurance that the work can be conducted properly during construction.

Our construction manager then conducts discussions with the relevant levels of government to establish which requirements are applicable to the client’s wishes and demands. Finally, our construction manager checks whether all the contract documents, such as (basic) specifications, drawings, permits, H&S (Health & Safety) plans, have been prepared or delivered. This ensures that construction can be conducted in compliance with all contractual demands, government regulations and codes. Our experts have the knowledge of the current and applicable regulatory requirements and current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, such as outlined in EudraLex Volume 4 Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines.

Construction supervision for installations and modifications to both existing and new construction is another service provided by Progress. This includes activities like:

• Selecting suitable constructors and suppliers
