S4(X) Global began our construction project management business at the beginning of the global Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. As you can imagine, trying to manage projects to completion on time and on budget was an immediate challenge for our young business. There were material disruptions and material shortages due to factory shutdowns. There were logistics issues coordinating incoming supplies due to a shortage of trucks and containers. The reality was, if we wanted to be successful, we were going to have to figure out a better way to do things than rely on a broken supply chain.
For us, the key was creating a process that was flexible and could adapt to an ever-changing environment. Our process starts with a 360° Deep Dive™ where we analyze the architectural drawings and create a supply plan for all construction materials. It includes the material source and expected delivery dates as part of the entire construction schedule. Although extensive, that is the easy part. Knowing that disruptions, shortages and change orders are coming, we used our years of construction experience to choose alternatives. This gives us the ability to make changes on the fly when we get the bad news that something isn’t coming or will be dreadfully late. It also gives us insight into how these changes will impact overall project costs so we can better manage them as well.
Although the pandemic has ended, the global supply chain isn’t quite back to pre-Covid levels and uncertainty still exists. We realized that even if it when it is back to ‘normal’, we would still take extra time to complete this process because it’s the best way to run a project. Our 360° Deep Dive™ process, provides the flexibility we need to create our own certainty. This is the best way to bring in a project on time and on budget for our clients.
