“Some changes are so slow that you don’t notice, others are so fast that they don’t notice you”.
Ashleigh Brilliant
LEAN Construction Delivery and supporting cloud-based technology are gradually transforming how we do business on a day-to-day basis.
They are changing…
- business relationships
- how create, share, & reuse information
- overall outcomes.
Those who seize the opportunity of change taking place will survive, evolve, thrive.
LEAN collaborative construction delivery, common data environments (CDE), and supporting cloud-based technology profoundly change:
– the way we work
– how we are measured and compensated
– the tools we use
– overall demand for products and services
– relationships between clients, vendors, and stakeholders.
The role of LEAN Construction Delivery (through its key players: architects, engineers, surveyors, builders, managers, owners) is to support the communication, cooperation, and overall optimal outcomes project throughout its full life-cycle.
Historically the focus has always been focused on the ” M “more specifically “M for Modeling” and 3D visualization. “M” for management, has been somewhat neglected. Process should ALWAYS be the primary focus, and that’s exactly where LEAN comes into play.
Technology itself should be neutral but can, if properly used, enable improved organizational models and consistent deployment of more robust business processes. Processes that create requisite environments of trust, transparency and accountability among all actors involved to achieve common goals.
The 4BT OpenJOC(TM) and OpenCost(TM) platforms support just that. For example, open job order contacting (OpenJOC), can consistently delivery approximately 90% of all repair, renovation, and minor new construction projects on-time, on-budget, and to everyone’s satisfaction. This is unheard of, and certainly not practiced by the vast majority of AECOO community members(architects, engineers, contractors, owners, operators/operations).
The 4BT-CE Building in Cloud system was designed to support these requirements: share and manage information of build structures, users, and service teams as well as a virtually guarantee of greater efficiency.
4BT-CE Building in the Cloud is accessible using a PC, Tablet, or Smartphone.
A free version of 4BT-CE Building in the Cloud, complete with 4BT National Commercial Construction
Cost database, is available to help you begin to improve the efficiency of your team.\
