Capital Project Planning and Supervision
What is Capital Project Management (CPM)?
CPM deals with operational projects that require a high level of investment in order to improve capital assets. Since these projects typically have high costs compared to other investments, a structured approach is needed to control finances, planning, risks and the deployment of people.
This structured approach is defined in four phases that are part of the complete CPM process:
Scenario planning
This includes the management or steering group that analyzes different scenarios and outcomes to define the best way to approach a project. During this phase, a large number of possibilities may be considered and compared with each other. There are often more ideas than available funds, which makes it essential to establish one central overview of all ongoing projects, their financial impact, and the expected contribution to the organization’s objectives.
Project planning
The selected projects are further defined during this stage. It involves detailed planning, risk assessment, and a defined budget linked to the available funds. A project team and a project leader are defined by the management board. Many people are involved and need access to the same information, which makes a central source of data essential for sharing information.
Project execution
This is normally the most intensive and visible phase of a capital project. Depending on the scope of the project, many active members will report on risks and issues, exchange documents, and handle a constantly changing stream of financial obligations, work assignments, and requests for changes. There is a clear need for a single source of information so that the project team remains in control and can report to the management board in an appropriate way.
Project closeout
This is the final phase of a project in which the results of the project, including all documentation, are transferred to management. The project is closed financially by finalizing budgets and updating the balance sheet. Most importantly, this phase is used to identify the lessons learned for subsequent projects.
These four aspects need to be managed in such a way that large scaled projects remain within budget, are delivered on time, and in-line with the business case. This sounds like an ideal situation, but is it realistic? It should be your goal to aim for the optimum. So how can we support you in achieving this goal?
IWMS as integrated project management solution?
HAS Properties uses an Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) solution to support facilities services, space planning, maintenance management, and sustainability efforts. By definition, an IWMS also offers capital project management functionality for activities associated with the design and development of new facilities and the remodeling or enhancement of existing facilities.
The capital project management functionality in an IWMS can take advantage of the information already in the system relating to buildings, installations, contracts, and work assignments. In addition, existing processes can be used to generate budgets, make liabilities payable, and conclude contracts. An IWMS also provides insight into the entire project portfolio at various stages, the funds that are available for projects, and the project planning - from the strategic elements to the operational details. An IWMS solution provides the management board, steering group, project leaders, and the internal and external project team members with a well-integrated tool that enables them to collaborate and maintain control of the planning and execution of capital projects that benefit the organization.
