Implementing Inovpac

INOVPAC was implemented on the Brent Social Housing Project.
With our pioneering projects in social and low-cost housing and urban regeneration, we are transforming lives and communities.
We work with our clients to benefit from reducing waste, develop in a sustainable way and promote efficiency.
With robust systems, tools, partnerships and initiatives in place, we are continually finding new ways to measure and reduce the environmental impact of our activities, both within the UK and across our Group.

The implementation of a new construction process named INOVPAC across all Bouygues subsidiaries in 2010.

What is Inovpac?

INOVPAC is a process that involves all the departments of the company in order to industrialise construction of housing projects:

By integrating finished (or part-finished) products on sites
By anticipating logistical issues
By reducing waste and developing selective sorting
By limiting co-activity on site thanks to sequential scheduling
By using time and motion studies on site
By using own production for specific tasks
By delivering defect free buildings at handover
By using low maintenance products
By capitalising on and promoting good practices and method.

INOVPAC introduces significant changes in the organisation of construction.

It is a new ‘schedule based’ process based on sequential tasks and divided into two main phases. A formal handover is done between each task.

In Phase 1 there are two sequences. During sequence 1a concrete and other structural works, water proofing, vertical mechanical and electrical networks, and insulation are carried out. Sequence 1b is the cladding of the facades and external works.

Finally, Phase 2 includes all internal decorative works to handover.

There are many advantages of this system which enables efficiency, higher productivity and smooth coordination of activities. INOVPAC brings an even better quality to the building’s construction.
