Best Value Facilities Construction/O&M Planning, Procurement and Project Delivery can only be achieved with a concerted focus upon change management, education, and leadership.
All of the tools and services are readily available to optimize facilities planning, procurement, and project delivery outcomes, whether they be the numerous, ongoing repair, renovation, and maintenance tasks or new construction.
While the solutions to best value facilities life-cycle asset total cost of ownership management have existed for decades, only recently have they been combined to truly integrated people, processes, information, and technology.
Change management is required, however, the benefits quality, financial visibility, and on-time, on-budget delivery are available to any real property owner and their service providers.
At the very core of the transformation, is a locally researched detailed line item unit price book, complete with full granularity and ability to alter labor, material, equipment, crew, and productivity components…. all organized by CSI Masterformat. National average price books, with or without factors, simply don’t provide requisite financial visibility, nor due “lump sum” estimates, or “historical data”.
When combined with LEAN planning, procurement, and project delivery workflows, the path to measurably improved outcomes is clear.
