30%-50% OFF Facilities Repair, Renovation, and Maintenance Costs on an ongoing basis is possible for real property owners who elect to support integrated construction planning, procurement, and project delivery. This can be achieved by implementing LEAN principles with readily available tools and services.
Owners can create an environment in which lead times and overall project delivery time are shorter, productivity is increase, and changed orders are virtually eliminated.
Reducing project time and cost by 30% to 50% is not a pipe dream, especially that current reports indicate that all projects average project average project overages in the 30 to 45 percent range.
Relational norms are governance mechanisms in economic exchanges.
Technology is not the solution. What is required are fundamental changes in Principles, Processes, and Systems. These basic changes would drive consideration of both short-term cost management and long-term, outcomes; improve early and ongoing communication between participants and stakeholders within a common data environment, and create environments that consistently follow established workflows capable of both adapting to changing issues and leveraging local decision-making and expertise of those actually doing the work.
Within LEAN integrated planning, procurement, and project delivery environments, projects and/or work orders can be procured and begun within weeks versus months or years. Both costs and technical aspects are fully transparent and defined in a granular, line item basis using detailed task descriptions, labor costs and crew definition, productivity, material costs, and associated equipment costs are required, as well as the overall total costs for the task associated with an appropriate unit of measure.
