GBE Method Statement

• What is one of them? You might ask.
• As a writer of contracts specifications, occasionally we come up against a difficult detail that needs to be understood to be able to provide a competent price for the job,
• We will call for a Method Statement to find out if the tenderers have understood the problem, offered a solution and priced accordingly.
• As a regular player in the world of Tender Evaluation I am the regular recipient of Method Statements from contractors and specialist sub-contractors.
• Explaining what they will do, how they will do it, with whom, with what kit, why it is done that way, when and where (factory or site).

• We have just had a conversation with one manufacturer where we described it as a grown up version of an IKEA flat pack instruction leaflet, but for professionals constructing buildings

They need a fair bit more than an IKEA instruction manual and might include:

• Generally confined to on-site activities but might include:
  • Off-site prefabrication, transport and delivery logistics, consolidation centres, etc.
  • Materials, products, their handling and temporary storage and protection
• Temporary works, hoarding, scaffolding, sequence, timing, phasing and modification
• In-situ conditioning and preparation of substrate bases and backgrounds
• Phasing and zoning, sequence of work for competency and protection, interdependence of trades
• Congested sites, congested working, sequencing to minimise hindrance
• Methods of pre-assembly, offering up and craning, sequence of assembly, final piece assembly
• Safe access for maintenance and removal for replacement of damaged pieces
• Staff, skills, accessories and equipment for installation
• Protection, access after protection, modification, warranty maintenance and final removal of protection
• In retrofit it might include logistics of decanting possessions, storage and reinstatement upon completion; or decanting of occupants, temporary accommodation and returning to homes
• In demolition work it might include, soft strip, hazardous removal, deconstruction, reclaim, reuse, demolition and recycling on or off site
• Excess to requirements return to stock, take back schemes, off-cut take back
• Packaging waste return to producer, diversion from landfill, processing under producer responsibilities
• Waste minimization and management, waste handling on site and waste removal off site
• End of Life Opportunities for reclaim and reuse or recycling and recovery
• Product Passport documentation

Method Statement Role

Their role may enable the identification of some opportunities for Value Engineering in these activities and even alternative methods of construction

They may feel a bit like a Specification’s workmanship clauses, whilst there is some overlap, they are not quite so detailed about the final installation, more about how it was created.
