There are many stages within the construction design that happen prior to materials being installed, and in many circumstances there can be delays because of communication, clarification on calculations and also waiting for BIM models to be verified. We see the biggest delays between steps 4 and 5, and this is why we have focused our efforts on ‘Bridging The Gap’. In order to ‘Bridge The Gap’ fischer have invested heavily in on and off-site engineering support, from site testers to design engineers and even BIM Modelers. Essentially, where other companies may stop and start we go straight over. For more information on how we can support the transition between your construction steps please get in touch.

6 Steps of a Contruction Project

1. Conception

Every project starts with a vision. fischer fixings have worked on many internationally recognised projects across the globe, that with our innovation, delivered the vision. A few of our more recent landmark projects are featured below:

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Le Grand Paris

Secure hold for Poland’s longest underwater tunnel

 

2. Team & Delivery Selection

As time is the biggest cost to any construction project, fischer believe that improving speed on processes and streamlining installation methods, whilst always considering health and safety on site, are of paramount importance. We believe this is the best way to gain a competitive advantage and in turn improve client confidence and trust.

fischer can support this process with innovations such as; innolock cast in channel,  our revolutionary FMHB connectors and FHD specialist drilling equipment. We not only save time but ensure every one returns home at the end of the day

Our ability to conduct bespoke testing utilising our furnaces  and concrete testing laboratories. We are able to validate potential design suggestions, prior to committing to a design. This again sets us apart from other manufacturers and system sellers.

3. Design

 fischer can capture your idea and with extensive knowledge and experience help turn ideas into a practical and logistics reality. Unlike most other manufacturers fischer has products for all trades within the construction build, the benefit of this is a harmonized and fully "collaborative" design approach throughout the build. The most important element of design is ensuring calculations and modelling are done correctly, fischer offer market leading software in order to ensure your full design expectations are realised.

4. Precon

 This is the stage where design and plans come to life. The true obstacles become apparent during pre-construction, at this stage it is critical that the engaged manufacturers engineering team are competent and confident enough to not only understand the challenges but to understand the process of adaption also. fischer can offer many harmonized components for the specific applications such as; fixings, supports and bracketry for M&E. All revised designs within this basket will affect each other. For that reason,  fischers unique harmonized approach sets us apart from many of the competitors. This becomes vital when one single element change effects the whole design structure for the project.

5. Construction

As the build commences its key that designs, installation methods and approvals are understood and adhered to by the working site teams. This is an area that fischer heavily engages with, to ensure this process is smooth and punchy as possible. From installer training, on and off site, toolbox training face to face, anchor testing, system assembly support and inspection checks . fischer have you covered for your complete build process.

6. Close-Out

As the project comes to an end it is important that fischer can understand the success and areas for improvement. Whilst working with Key Tier 1 main and sub-contractors we take this review process very seriously, aware that any improvements we can make will enhance our service, efficiency and profitability for our clients.
