Value-based Construction Planning, Procurement, and Project Delivery

Value-based construction planning, procurement, and project delivery can consistently enable quality projects, on-time and on-budget. This optimal outcomes is possible via the appropriate and consistent integration of people, process, information, and technology.

Value-based Construction Planning, Procurement, and Project Delivery

PEOPLE – Team-based and outcome-focused individuals with requisite leadership, communications, and technical competencies. Owner leadership is a core requirement as are positive relationships among all participants and oversight entities.

PROCESS – LEAN planning, procure, and project delivery is a requirement. LEAN, simply defined, is a collaborative effort focus upon positive outcomes and the elimination of waster. Integrated Project Delivery, IPD, for major new construction, and LEAN job order contracting, JOC, for repair, renovation, maintenance, sustainability, and minor new construction are proven examples of LEAN planing, procurement, and project delivery processes

INFORMATION – Best value outcomes require the early and ongoing sharing of actionable information from the conceptual stage right through construction, operations and maintenance, and eventual decommissioning. A common data environment, CDE, aid in efficient information sharing and updating. A locally researched detailed line item unit price book, organized using a standard data format, i.e. CSI Masterformat, is a key CDE element.

TECHNOLOGY: A collaborative cloud architecture with program management, project management, estimate/bid/proposal management, work order management, document management, building/location management, asset management, issues/tasks management… serves to provide low cost, consistent deployment and access to actionable information and pre-established workflows.
