Confrontation between construction and operation
Despite all the identity of the processes in construction and operation, these are fundamentally different processes. Experts from one field are not competent in another field and vice versa. Builders and installers, due to high staff turnover and high costs of work, strive to implement large volumes in a short time, to apply the latest ideas in design, which is partly the meaning of innovation, construction and investment. In this way, builders and installers quickly gain experience in implementing projects, reduce costs and speed up construction, design, and installation times, and easily switch from one project topic to another. Thanks to new projects, companies maintain their relevance and are most likely able to lose it in a short time without the presence of the latest projects being implemented.
Operations services - known to us in marketing terms - in-house. Operation services, on the contrary, are initially included in the project at the design stages. In fact, this is part of the project implemented during construction. All the main tasks of the operation service are formed at the design and construction stage. Due to limited personnel and budget, operations services concentrate on the planned distribution of tasks over time with minimal costs. When operating a facility, it is not correct to talk about a new design; this contradicts the idea of innovation, construction, and investment. And yet, today not a single facility is able to exist without a minimum set of operation services.
