Ready before day one

The information · The Site Office, the week before day one

Week 8: the site opens. I need a home that works before anyone tries to live in it.

The wrong way

Get readyGet ready: Day one…
Who turned up

Half the names in the bid are on the next bid. Nobody checks who's actually turned up.

The training

Training is an email with a link to a PDF. Nobody opens it.

Everyone, to be safe

Access is set to "give everyone everything, to be safe". Rex, the new assistant engineer, gets the keys to every room on day one.

Get readyGet ready: Week two…
Testing on live drawings

The naming rules are still being tested on real drawings. Real drawings get the wrong names, and three go missing.

The cost reports

Rex can see the cost reports. So can a fencing firm that left in March.

Who gave them access?

Sam, the firm's information manager, asks the obvious question.

Sam: Who gave the fencing firm the cost reports?

Everyone: IT.

The plan said train, test and control access. What happened was an email, live testing, and everyone, to be safe.

+3 weeks on the back alley's bill: A Site Office opened untested: three lost drawings, a fencing firm with the cost reports, and three weeks putting it right.
