Suitable packages
- Outsourced detailing and engineering packages
- Fabrication subcontract packages
- Material and specialist supply packages
- Multi-vendor steel packages that need a single coordination point
Client inputs
- Scope of work and package boundaries
- Approved drawings and specifications
- Quantities, schedule and budget targets
- Approval route and decision authority
