A Solid Construction Project Delivery Framework to better address the complex problems of planning, procurement, and new builds.

This document outlines A Solid Construction Project Delivery Framework to better address the complex problems of planning, procurement, and new builds.

All the tools and support services to support this framework are available to ensure that over 90% of all repairs, renovation, maintenance, and new builds are delivered in a satisfactory, quality manner, on time and on budget.

Cost and schedule overruns, accidents, less than expected quality and inadequate functionality are the norm in the publics sector at federal, state, county, and local levels.  While the rampant economic and environmental waste is unsustainable, it continues unabated with virtually zero accountability or oversight.
