KEY PROCUREMENT INSIGHTS COVERED

Strategic Sourcing Guide to Building Design Procurement

Overview

The market for Construction Service Providers and its sub-segments such as Building Design are at an interesting intersection. Fluctuation in prices of construction materials has made it difficult for project contractors to maintain a steady cost projection on construction projects. Also, the risks associated with project cost overruns are contributing to project delays and abandonment. Procurement functions are more careful while drawing up supplier contracts and insulating their projects from price uncertainties to the extent possible on negotiation tables.

Periods of macroeconomic uncertainty and increasing stringency of immigration laws are key contributors to the workforce shortage in the market. Domestic workers in developed countries often choose to pursue higher education and less cyclical employment opportunities while foreign workers return to their home countries due to tough immigration laws and economic conditions. Consequently, suppliers have had to increase labor wages to attract skilled and unskilled labor, which has increased their costs and forced them to increase their pricing.

The growing need for smarter and resilient construction has encouraged a rapid implementation of advanced BIM solutions. The integration of 4D BIM and geographical information system (GIS) is helping in improving construction productivity, construction supply chain management, material supplier selection, estimation of deliveries, and overall coordination between construction companies and material suppliers.

Trends like these and many others discussed in this report are necessitating a relook at the way Building Design is procured and the procurement cost saving opportunities that exist.

Building Design Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Building Design procurement.

For example, Buyers should engage with service providers that offer a wide portfolio and can act as a one-stop solution provider for multifaceted requirements of projects. This enables buyers to save significant costs and increases their spend visibility.

Buyers must have a clear understanding of the sub-contracting policies of suppliers. Suppliers must be evaluated on factors such as price, quality, and regulatory compliance of their subcontractors before they are selected.

Service providers may outsource certain aspects of the project if they lack the required expertise or to expedite the project progress. If the subcontractor is not covered by a reliable liability insurance or does not abide by the same terms and conditions that were laid down for the main contractors, then it can hinder the main contractor's ability to perform its services. It may also entangle the buyers in legal complications and negative publicity.

Risks in Building Design procurement

Building Design procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Building Design procurement. Some examples include:


  • Inaccurate estimates of resources and timelines, poor project planning, increase in scope of the project, changes and variations in the project or lack of clarity on responsibilities/ scope of work may result in buyers incurring additional cost on the project that exceeds their planned budget
  • When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on Building Design
  • Acceptance of an unfinished design for timely implementation of the project is a common scenario in the construction industry. However, this leads to defects in the design and failure to meet the prescribed standards and legal requirements
