“Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is a work process
framework fundamentally based on the idea of thinking with
the end in mind. It is designed to allow engineering planning
be driven by construction sequencing. Simply put, this is
achieved by breaking down the project scope into
Construction Work Packages that are fed with Engineering
Work Packages.
The AWP framework proposes an enhanced set of practices
performed in the construction industry for executing work-
packaging.”

6. Productivity
WWW.WORKPACKAGING.ORG 6
• The relationship between AWP and field productivity is a result of the execution of
IWPs that are constraint-free. Consequently, frontline personnel can focus exclusively
on construction execution without wasting time on the retrieval of materials,
engineering, and documentation.
• AWP brings high consciousness about space management. Movements around the
field are minimized as crews are able to complete IWPs without interruptions.
• Higher involvement of superintendent and foremen in project execution, empowering
crews to deliver IWPs scope with enhanced productivity.
• Reported 15% productivity increase
• Reported rework rate below company average

7. Safety
WWW.WORKPACKAGING.ORG 7
• AWP formalizes identification and mitigation of safety issues during
planning and development of IWPs
• Early identification of potential construction risks during the initial planning
stage, where all key project participants are involved
• Unnecessary movements around the site were minimized
• IWPs close-out includes feedback and continuous improvement on safety
as a requirement.
