Every project, irrespective of size, is managed in accordance with COFELY's proven and consistent project management methodology, wich includes working with:
- Design and Maintainable Space Planning
- Specialist logistics & delivery management
- 3D CAD coordination modelling with clash detection software
- Qualitative Installation Procedures
- Responsive change management process
As principal sub-contractor we manage and take full responsibility for
both the self-delivered and sub-contracted elements of the project, ensuring co-ordination of all services and understanding of other
trades’ requirements through constant communication processes.
COFELY makes extensive use of cost-effective, time-saving prefabrication
techniques, utilising our own dedicated prefabrication workshop located in Milton Keynes.
The extent of prefabrication is determined by the best solution for each
project and can range from the pre-assembly of fan coil modules
through to complex services riser modules and complete plant rooms.
- Greatly improved quality control
- Significant project time-savings
- Reduced project costs
Our Engineering Services’ design development and installation skills are
ideally suited to the delivery of significant refurbishment and fit-out
projects and we have an enviable reputation in this area.
As well as the
use of advanced CAD/CAE systems to provide innovative, cost-effective
solutions our services benefit from the technical exchange of information
and experience with sister companies throughout Europe.
Our range of competencies includes:
- Comprehensive commissioning protocols are employed to ensure 'as-designed' performance and functionality.
- In house design & commissioning management
- Electrical, power and lighting (inc. fibre optics)
- Pre-fabrication in controlled environments
- Public health services
- Central plant replacement including boiler decentralisation
- Low & zero carbon (LZC) solutions
- Design, build, operate & finance of energy related solutions (such as co-generation)
- All HVAC and plumbing services
- BMS/BEMS
Accurate and swiftly delivered CAD drawings accelerate the design
process, enable more accurate ordering of materials, and reduce overall
programme timescales. We meet this demand with our advanced CAD
CAE 3D modelling, a state of the art capability that enables our customers
to view the planned concept as a completed project, complete with
sequenced build stages and ‘walk-through’ graphics; this allows spacial meintenance planning prior to installation.
Additionally, the CAD delivery system shows space planning in 3D
format, with high definition colours, textures and material finishes for
greater clarity and pre-project understanding.
- Faster design process allowing more accurate material take-offs
- Fewer design changes during construction phase
- Increased productivity of pre-fabrication facility through direct links between 3D construction & pre-fabrication drawings
- 3D clash detection software providing greater accuracy to all working drawings
- Intelligent 4D showing 3D visuals
and progression of construction
- Interactive 3D O & M manuals
- Customer in 'live environment'
