About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

In 2008, the company Betomax ** Schneider** made a business decision to invest in the ** construction of a warehouse** ** with business premises. For this purpose, it purchased land that had to be entered in the land register, obtain location information, a copy of the cadastral plan and a geodetic survey. From this perspective, one could argue that the ** installation of a prefabricated structure, which is manufactured in specialised facilities and delivered to the construction site, is a ** smart** ** choice** for all those investors who want to have a building erected in a very short time. Thus, we can argue that a very ** important** ** factor** in how quickly the construction will be completed is the ** choice** ** of contractor**. However, it is true that in the opposite case, if the construction were carried out too quickly, the building could lose quality.

Problem

In 2008, the company Betomax ** Schneider** made a business decision to invest in the ** construction of a warehouse** ** with business premises**. For this purpose, it purchased land that had to be entered in the land register, obtain location information, a copy of the cadastral plan and a geodetic survey. As she wrote at the beginning, the aim of her diploma thesis was to present everything an investor must obtain before the start of construction itself and everything that affects when and how well the construction will be completed.

In doing so, she came to the realisation that obtaining the appropriate documentation and information ** can be very time-consuming** work. The investor must be patient, as for each document that must be obtained, there is a statutory deadline, even if the matter could be resolved before this deadline from a practical point of view. In this specific case, she found that the ** investor** before purchasing the land ** did not know** that obtaining documentation would be so time-consuming and was also not aware of how many different documents are needed even before the start of work on the construction site itself.

For each entity involved in the project for obtaining a building permit, he had to obtain project conditions. On the basis of this, the designer drew up the project, and then the investor had to obtain consent for the project from each entity again, which took him at least another month. From this perspective, one could say that the human factor in this specific case plays a very large role in how quickly you obtain the appropriate documentation to be able to start the construction itself.

When the investor collects all the documentation and obtains a building permit, construction ** begins, which again requires the investor's patience, as construction workers have a lot of work and therefore work does not always proceed according to plan and thus the deadline for completion of works is extended. In their case, the deadline for completion of works was indeed slightly extended, as they had ** several contractors on the construction site who ** did not always coordinate well**. They also had some problems with the delivery of materials, as the company Vegrad d.d. was on the verge of bankruptcy.

At the beginning of construction, work proceeded very quickly. Site preparation, excavation, and point foundations were completed very quickly. She was very surprised at how fast the installation of the concrete structure was.

Solution and Method

From this perspective, one could argue that the installation of a prefabricated structure, which is manufactured in specialised facilities and delivered to the construction site, is a ** smart** ** choice** for all those investors who want to have a building erected in a very short time. For ** coordinating** and ** supervising** ** construction, the contractor appointed a ** site manager. This person must be good, as they must enable workers to work smoothly, which means they must provide them with the machines and tools they need for their work and, of course, materials.

Because the contractor had financial difficulties, they faced a problem at the very beginning of construction itself, as he did not have a mobile crane to be able to install the concrete structure. When work was being carried out in the interior, they had problems with certain materials that the contractor could not procure.

Results

Thus, we can argue that a very important ** factor** in how quickly the construction will be completed is the ** choice** ** of contractor**. However, it is true that in the opposite case, if the construction were carried out too quickly, the building could lose quality. A very important factor in construction is also the weather, as a certain phase of work requires specific temperatures that must be ensured, otherwise the quality of work is questionable.

Therefore, the weather can also extend their anticipated deadline for completion of works. In the winter ** months, they carried out ** masonry ** work**, which requires slightly higher temperatures, but they were lucky, as the winter was milder and work could proceed more or less within the anticipated deadline. When the masonry work was completed, they carried out work in the interior of the building and then there was no longer so much dependence on the weather.

The investor is ** extremely satisfied** with the construction of the warehouse with business premises itself. Despite all the limitations, they reached their goal and enabled their company to be located in one place and thus not waste time travelling from the office to the warehouse. With this, they gained in the quality of the company, as their customers are more satisfied because they do not have to wait for one of their employees to travel from the office to the warehouse or vice versa.

With the construction, they also have greater ** stock capacity, which for the company represents better logistics and fast delivery of their products to companies in the market, and with this the ** company is also ** a step ahead of the competition. Therefore, I believe that the construction of the warehouse with business premises was a positive factor in the development of the company ** Betomax Schneider. I believe that with the presentation of the implementation of the warehouse with business premises, she fulfilled her goal that she set herself when writing her diploma thesis.

So her conclusion is: Let us be patient and we will reach our goal!
