If you are wondering how to How to Achieve 25%-30%+ average construction savings, it’s really simple. Just stop doing the same old things that will never work.
An average savings on the order of 25 to 30 percent can be achieved when facilities repair, renovation, maintenance, and new build processes are standardized at a program level. Integrated planning, procurement, and project delivery is conceived and executed with the same supply chain approach over the life of a program in which the owner teams (procurement, facilities management, leadership) and suppliers (architects, engineers, builders, subcontractors) remain unchanged. The integration of People, Process, Information, and Technology within a standardized framework has consistently proven to yield significant cost savings (see references below).
