Pre-Construction Phase
When an organization wins an ELV project, don’t jump immediately to planning or implementation of the project. First, you will need to assign a project manager and prepare all necessaries to establish a project site and to review the contractual obligations including required bonds, insurance policies, other contractual terms, and incurred costs before you begin the site works.
Planning Phase
Starting the development of the project in more details to meet the project’s objectives. The project manager with his team must identify all the work to be done. Starting the project planning requires having all information about broader sense of the information on hand and requirements. Information on hand such as: contract, project documents, site conditions, assumptions, and estimates, to be able to develop different plans for the project, reviewing all inputs from information on hand and requirements are very important start for planning phase.
Engineering Phase
Engineering phase of an ELV project is meant by the submittals process of obtaining approvals for: 1) the ELV company as ELV subcontractor, 2) materials documents, material samples and quantities and 3) shop drawings. The objectives of the engineering phase are to ensure that properly specified materials, quantities, and designs are delivered and implemented by an appropriate ELV professional contractor. In general, the submittals are initiated by the ELV subcontractor to the main contractor who then presents them to the project engineer or a designated recipient with granting approvals. The engineering phase also covers the High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) of the materials from the technology systems perspective to confirm a working solution of each system.
Construction Phase
The construction phase is the physical phase of delivering the technical solutions of all ELV systems by installing, setting up, configuring, integrating, and testing. Typically, the project split into smaller phases to achieve bigger milestones. The construction phase has five main processes: Procurement, Site Management, Manage and Monitor Installation, Manage and Monitor Commissioning, Administration.
