"When we came back from vacation you sent 30 million to start the project." Sam started speaking with a calm voice.
"Yes, I remember that." Theo replied as he remembered that he had given Sam the money he earned from Moonlight's streams in December.
"With that amount of money, we managed to start the first steps of the project." You may not know, but constructing a large factory involves a series of steps that need to be followed to ensure a successful and efficient construction process."
"The first step is Project Planning and Design. In this stage, we Define the purpose and scope of the factory. Conduct feasibility studies and site selection. Develop a comprehensive project plan including budget, timeline, and resources. Engage architects, engineers, and consultants to design the facility layout, considering factors such as production flow, safety regulations, and infrastructure requirements. In summary, although it is only one stage of the construction, there are a lot of things to do."
"And without skilled professionals, we can't do this step correctly. That's because the first thing I did was search for a respectable and trustworthy construction company to work with us." Sam explained patiently.
Theo nodded in understanding as he heard that.
"After speaking with a few professionals and researching the market, we hired the HEM Construction Company. This company is the biggest construction company located in the Bluecorn State. They have a long history and managed to build several iconic buildings we know around the state. So, they are definitely reliable." Sam explained.
"We explained what our project was to them, and for the past 2 weeks, we have been in constant talks as they dutifully started the feasibility studies and site selection. Last week, they finally were able to find the perfect site for the construction after they performed feasibility studies on the land. Their studies showed that the land is capable of handling the building of such a huge edifice. Plus, they also found..." Sam started to explain everything that the constructors found in the feasibility studies about the land chosen.
"Plus, this land is near the industry park of Elffire City, so the location is perfect for building a factory. After confirming their studies, my team and I didn't waste time before starting the talks to buy that land. Although we still haven't managed to officialize the sale, especially because the land is located in an advantageous location, we are confident that we'll be able to finalize the sale next week." Sayuri informed.
"This week, the HEM Company started to mobilize its team of engineers, architects, and consultants to design the factory layout. We are in constant talks with them because of that."
"Basically we define the project requirements, including the purpose of the facility, production flow, capacity, safety regulations, and infrastructure needs. This information helps in identifying the appropriate professionals to engage."
"After we inform them about all these parameters, their team will start the selection of the chief engineer, chief architect, and chief consultant."
"Based on the evaluation and interviews, the company selects the preferred architect, engineer, or consultant."
"After all these steps, we can finally start contract negotiations can take place to establish the terms and conditions, scope of work, deliverables, timelines, fees, and any other relevant aspects."
"We expect to sign the contract next week as well." Sayuri informed with a calm voice.
Theo was surprised when he heard that, he didn't imagine that a construction company could operate so rapidly.
It is always good to remember that this project building was gigantic, so it was normal for these initial phases to extend for months in Theo's last life. But it seemed like the construction technology in Azure Star was much more advanced than on Earth's.
"Once the contract is finalized, the engaged professionals begin the design development phase. They will work closely with our team to understand their specific needs, production flow requirements, safety regulations, and infrastructure requirements. The professionals may conduct site visits, gather data, and collaborate with the company's directors and managers to refine the design. This means that Sayuri and I may have to visit the site of the construction." Sam explained as she looked at Sayuri with a smile.
"The architects, engineers, and consultants will engage in an iterative design process, where they present design concepts, layouts, and plans to our company. We will provide feedback and suggestions, and the design will be revised accordingly. This collaborative process continues until a final design is agreed upon. I spoke with the HEM Company, and they predict that this process may take two weeks to a month to be completed."
"Once the final design is approved by the company, the architects, engineers, and consultants prepare the necessary documentation required for obtaining permits and approvals from local authorities. This documentation may include architectural drawings, structural calculations, MEP plans, and safety compliance reports."
"But after contacting the person that Ayia indicated, we already started the talks with the local government. They are pleased that we are building such a huge facility that will employ so many people. So, as soon as we receive the documentation from the HEM Constructions, we expect to finalize the permits' approval in just one week. An extremely short time when we go over the fact that we will build such a huge building."
"During that week will have to obtain necessary permits and approvals from local authorities, including building permits, environmental clearances, and zoning permissions. Comply with applicable regulations and codes. But with our early contact, the process that would take months will only last one week."
"In summary, if everything goes according to the plan, we can start the construction in March. but even if accidents and unforeseen events happen, we can still start the construction at the start of April." Sam explained with a proud smile.
And she had a reason to be proud, as they would start the construction in less than 3 months after they started the project.
"Good job, Sam!" Theo complimented her with a satisfied smile.
At first, Theo imagined that they would only be able to start the construction around June or July. But Sam and Sayuri's efficiency was much greater than he imagined.
"I didn't do alone. I had Sayuri's help and our teams helped us as well." Sam replied with a
"The HEM Construction can only provide a timeline for the ending of the construction after they finalize the design, but in our talks, they told me that they were able to finish building a factory with similar conditions as ours in only 8 months. This means that it's possible that we can count on the new factory to start its operation at the end of this year." Sayuri suddenly said with an excited smile.
She couldn't hold off her excitement about speaking about it as this large factory meant that their publishing house would be near the gap between the famous publishing houses and the
She couldn't wait for that day to arrive!
