TBH’s Role

TBH was engaged by John Holland Group (JHG) to prepare a tender construction programme for the Melbourne Airport International Terminal Upgrade Project.

TBH works included:

• Providing planning assistance to develop the construction methodology
• Identifying a work breakdown structure
• Development of a tender construction programme with durations based on productivity rates, volume of works and construction methodology
• Conducting critical path analysis

The tender construction programmes demonstrated JHG’s construction methodology and staging of works, which was critical to the project in maintaining airport operations throughout construction. Based on the tender submission and proposed project programme, JHG was successful in being awarded the project which is currently under construction.
