EQUIPMENT
in 2015, which is designed to collect data from rooms during the construction process. It was considered a natural option to test it. ADC uses the same planning philosophy found in PRD, adding specific features to monitor the procurement, installation and start up of the equipment. We discovered during the process that ADC allowed us to manage existing equipment and add it into the project. While an engineer or technician is using a tablet to input installation data in a particular room, all the data he or she enters goes into the centralised system that was used during planning, which enables the management to automatically update the status and monitor online the installation and snagging process. We also verified when working with Revit that all the changes made in ADC were automatically shown in the BIM model. Codebook ADC proved to be an
efficient tool during the testing and commissioning stages and it was possible to establish the progress of activities fast. Progress reports were generated almost daily. All the information entered into the system was exported to be used in a computerised maintenance management system (CMMS) for use at the end of the project. In our case it also included all data related to incidents during installation. There was also increased efficiency of the on site engineering team and increased data reliability by a centralised data repository managed by ADC.
Conclusion After completing this process, we concluded that: l classic project management applications are not adapted to procurement management and installation/snag management
l the best way to efficiently control and manage an equipment project, particularly at the installation and start up stage, is by having all the information centralised in a single software application
l having a single synchronised data repository avoids duplicate information or documentation inconsistencies that usually occur when new documentation is included or when suppliers get partial acceptance or approval on site that may not be seen in central offices
l using CodeBook PRD and ADC in hospital equipment projects guarantees the reliability of the managed data and human resources may therefore be used to solve problems that still require human input
l if the aim is to work with BIM, PRD and ADC will automatically synchronise with the BIM model (ArchiCad or Revit) from planning until the
