Building-material procurement for Australia
LIFA coordinated building-material supply for three Australian towers, avoiding material-related stoppages through staged shipments and receipt checks.
- The buyer
- A Melbourne, Australia construction group with three concurrent high-rise projects.
- The product scope
- Building materials; structural steel fittings, fasteners, waterproofing membranes; program value $2.4M.
What needed to change?
Site stoppages from material delays were costing $18,000/day; the previous importer had no delivery-sequencing capability.
How LIFA managed the work
We built a delivery-sequencing plan tied to the crane schedule of each tower.
We qualified 4 material suppliers with batch traceability.
We managed staged container shipments with buffer stock at a local warehouse.
We implemented on-site receipt verification against the program schedule.
Zero material-related stoppages across all three towers; program completed 3 weeks early; the group signed a framework agreement for the next two projects.
From our company project database, with the work, approvals and results shown together.
What this project shows
A construction order is also an installation sequence. Container timing, buffer stock and site receipts had to follow each tower's crane schedule.
