Rover: Capturing sixty years of building experience

What can a metro project in Madrid teach a railway team in Stockholm? At Rover, the answer arrives before the first shovel hits the ground. This is how they build with Brickanta.

Challenge

One of Rover’s most valuable assets is all the knowledge it has gained from previous projects, and most of it is buried in old documents.

Rover builds ports, railways, roads and bridges on four continents. As at any large contractor, every finished project leaves behind a bunch of contracts, method statements, schedules, change orders and meeting notes, and with them lessons about what worked and what can be improved. Nobody on site has time to write those lessons down as they come. Meanwhile, the next tender is already waiting. The documents are long, the requirements that matter are buried deep inside them, and a single method statement can decide who wins the job. Finding the right requirement, or the right lesson from an earlier project, takes time the team doesn’t have.

Solution

Rover builds with Brickanta from tender through quality assurance, with finished projects feeding the next one.

At the tender stage, Brickanta finds every requirement, control point and document the project owner asks for, and flags legal risks in the contract terms. For quality assurance, it drafts control plans in the project owner's own format, building on earlier plans that were approved and on the requirements of the new project. Finished projects are read the same way, so planned timelines can be compared with actual delivery and every change order traced to what it cost. Rover’s team decides which lessons the company keeps. Brickanta also keeps what the team knew when they placed the bid separate from what they learned during construction.

Results

Rover’s Swedish team brings lessons from earlier projects into live bids and quality work.

“When the knowledge stays within the Rover Group, then whoever starts a new project can get the experience of everyone who came before.”
