Plan for project success- Stephen Rayment

Systech International provides responsive, high quality consultancy services, including planning, to contractors, supporting them in the delivery of global projects on time and to budget. Our planners will ensure that your project has a robust, contract compliant programme that can be used across all phases of the project lifecycle [feasibility, tender, construction, testing/commissioning and operation].

Purpose : 

The better the programme, the more likely the project will come in on-time and on-budget. Systech International has a proven record in supporting contractors to prepare programmes at the outset of a project and in the ongoing management and reporting of progress during the delivery phase. We will ensure that your project has an accurate and realistic baseline on which you plan your project and safeguard against any future claims, with all the required schedule attributes.

Benefits :

Full schedule analysis that checks and recommends solutions of shortcomings • Results Visualised in tables, charts & graphs, and detailed lists of activities • Substantiation of the baseline to demonstrate accurate monitoring, reporting and potentially non-culpable delays of EOTs.

Our Service :

Systech will review the ‘health’ of your baseline programme before submission for approval and produce a contract compliant report with recommendations highlighting any shortcomings and how these can be remedied. Our review will include logic links, out of sequence activities, open starts/ends, float and logic issues. Once the project delivery has commenced we can prepare regular progress reports and compare multiple programme updates to identify changes and their potential impact on the project. Communication is key and we will ensure that our reports are tailored to the recipient – this could be a concise high level briefing for senior management through to customised in-depth analyses for the planning team.

Building Information Modeling - BIM


We are hearing so much in the past years of the importance of the technology in every aspect. And this is not by a coincidence. Some people had an idea about this long time ago, but today their predictions became reality. Today, the United Kingdom Construction Industry stands proudly over a cup of the new time, the age of digital design, also known as BID- a Building Information Modeling.
According to the Government of the UK, BIM refers to a value creating collaboration that is found along the whole life circle of the assets, underpinned by collocation, creation and the exchange of the modern 3D models, adding intelligent and structured data information into them. Simply said, it is a sociotechnical process that lies on a supportive technological base, linked with social components from the surrounding.
Implementing the Building Information Modeling is actually a great thing for all the investors since due to the capability of the governmental departments to electronically validate the BIM information; thousands of pounds will be saved.
You probably have heard about the Systech International, a company that is offering support of many commercial, procedural and contractual issues to their contractors throughout the whole project delivery process. As they are keeping up with everything, BIM is nothing new they cannot handle. The specialized team they have is ready to answer all the concerns their clients have regarding this question. And having in mind that the mandatory BIM is completely introduced in the Government's projects, it is understandable that there will be some inconvenience. Therefore, Systech International's team is ready to provide their favors regarding the following things
- will help you become familiar with Level 2 BIM
-will make you be aware of the BIM protocol
- will teach you how this protocol will have influence over your project procedures
-will make you understand your collaboration obligation
- will help you become aware of the intellectual property, ownership, and copyright of the issues
- will inform you that you need to find and BIM Information manager as a part of the team of the project and what are the procedures regarding that person

According to Paschal Walsh, the commercial director of Systech International, BIM is offering many benefits to the contractors such as providing working from the same data, the possibility to evaluate the proposals, the 3D modeling that helps to eliminate the errors, the improvement of the assets management and others. But, as anywhere, when introducing a new protocol there probably will flow up some problems. Here as problems are showing up the lack of the compatible systems, protocol, and standards since there are different requirements for the employers, contractors and the designers. That is the reason of introducing the BIM Level 2 that requires a managed 3D environment to be held in separate digital tools, along with data attached in a common file. The documents needed for this protocol are nine, from which as the most importance is the CIC BIM protocol, who is actually a legal agreement, who is creating additional duties, obligations and rights for the employer, contractor, and the designer. Due to the issues that are flowing from the implementation of BIM, the Government has set a final date for developing a BIM 3, that should have the capability to electronically validate the information from the protocol and help to save assets and unnecessary costs and most importantly, allow the UK to maintain the world’s leadership position in digital construction.

Isn’t this man amazing?

I love writing for people who made some great things in their life, achieved success due to their consistency, and will. Lastly, I read and learn a lot is Stephen Rayment, an amazing personality, one of the leaders of Systech International. 

Before I tell you more about Stephen, let me first get to know you with his company. Systech International is a company that operates over twenty years in a field of energy projects, construction and infrastructure. As a company, they are operating like a global provider of project controls, commercial management, planning and scheduling, expert witness, claims, dispute resolution as well as visualization services. With a team of highly skilled consultants and professionals in their areas, Systech International is known as a company that care about project risks, tight costs and control in each project she takes. 

However, without the smart brains he has, Systech International would not be a company as it is. In addition, he has the smartest.  As a co-founders and Group Managing Directors are Stephen Rayment and Mark WoodwardSmith, both inspirational people who have many successes in life. They are people I admire and respect a lot. Ever since 1991, they are building a company that never stopped to improve the work and methods and successfully compete with the rest of the world. 

Stephen Rayment is a Group managing Director, responsible for the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, as well as America’s areas. The greatness I saw in this man comes from the capability of managing he has. He is responsible for the policy matters and all the strategic plans the company have.  His strong personality, knowledge and responsibility made his company a leading global construction consultancy that has a reputation as a company where you will get high quality, low costs and really, really well-managed services. As Rayment Stephen said many times, reputation is a sign of success, so the reputation his company have said much about him as well.  

But, nothing in life comes easily. For Stephen, there were many obstacles that he needed to go trough, so he can become what is today. He had to pass through numerous frauds that had been imposed and for which he needed time to clear his and the face of the company. It was not easy, but his perseverance was pay off. The 70s and 80s he spends on developing on expertise on construction projects as a major commercial property developer and project manager to the specialization he has in preparation of dispute resolution and contractual claims. The desire for success, the continuous setting of new life goals and knowledge are the reason for the steady progress of Stephen Rayment. Starting from 1994, he is leading his company in a global world, broadening its business on several continents. Opening branches in the Asian Pacific region, and then expanding to Singapore and Hong Kong, the success of Stephen does not stop here. The business continues to focus on the Middle East and US markets, and offices in Australia, Korea, Abu Dhabi and many other countries. He adds his business strength and power due to the addition of key services through the acquisition by Systech Solicitors, making its customers a unique combination of services, all under a single brand. 

Despite the many commitments he has for his company, he is also a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and a member of the Institute of Arbitrators. 

Isn’t this man amazing? Of course, many things are memorable for him, but I will leave it to mention next time when we will need new life inspiration.
