Completions software

    Completions software built around the subsystem, because that is what actually gets handed over.

    Construction is organised by area and discipline. Completions is not — it is organised by the functional systems that get started up. Deskely models that re-cut properly, so progress, punch and certificates all refer to the same thing.

    The problem

    The re-cut from areas to subsystems is where projects quietly go wrong.

    Every physical tag has to be assigned to the subsystem that will be started up. Get it right and reporting is meaningful. Get it wrong and every downstream number is misleading — usually discovered during the walkdown that was supposed to be a formality.

    Tags land in the wrong subsystem

    Boundaries cut through functional loops, so a subsystem reports complete while part of the loop it depends on is untested.

    Registers drift apart

    The engineering tag list, the ITR register and the punch list each maintain their own version of the same equipment, and they stop agreeing.

    MC is declared on judgement

    Mechanical completion is called because the schedule needs it, not because the underlying A-ITRs and Category A punch are demonstrably clear.

    Handover packs are rebuilt from scratch

    The dossier is compiled at the end from folders and email attachments, and every missing signature becomes a search.

    How it runs

    The completions sequence, enforced end to end.

    1. 01

      Define the scope

      Systems, subsystems and every tag assigned to the subsystem it will be commissioned within.

    2. 02

      Reach mechanical completion

      A-ITRs signed, walkdown complete, Category A punch cleared — then the MC certificate becomes available.

    3. 03

      Pre-commission and commission

      Flushing, loop checks and function tests recorded as B-ITRs against the same tags and subsystems.

    4. 04

      RFSU and handover

      Ready-for-start-up issued against proven records, and the dossier exported with everything already in order.

    Side by side

    A tracker versus a completions model.

    The difference is not features. It is whether the relationships between tags, records, punch and certificates are enforced by the system or held in someone's head.
