Construction Work Packages

Construction work packages are the scalable standard for construction processes. All data is structured around it, and all workflows are designed inside the work package.

That said, what is the standard/holy grail for validating work packages?

  1. Estimating costs and Optimizing  costs – Current, objective, locally research granular construction task data organized using expanded CSI MasterFormat.
  2. Sequence creation
  3. Optimizing labor resources
  4. Optimized flow
  5. Optimized efficiency
  6. Estimating risks
  7. Estimating manpower
  8. Offering intelligent solutions
  9. Optimizing scheduling
  10. Automated workpackage creation
  11. Optimized work content
  12. Optimizing logistics

Creating Construction Work Packages
IPD methodology is critical to apply within JOC Programs and rarely applied.   Directly daily involvement without the excessive use of “JOC Consultants” is the only path that enables growth of owner knowledge, capability, and improved outcomes.  The integration of collaborative internal and external Planning, Procurement, and Project Delivery teams is equally important.  While TAKT, LPS, etc. are important, LEAN construction can  be achieved via a holistic approach that puts People first then Process, Information, and  enabling Technology.
Organizational maturity with respect to data usage is also a key component with respect to Construction Work Packages.

OpenCOSTTM  Construction Cost Data is now available exclusively from 4BT! 

Managing any type of construction project requires the ability to OBJECTIVELY VERIFY local market costs.  

  • The traditional use of a “national average cost database”  and location factoring (city cost index – CCI)   to introduces significant error and therefore provides insufficient cost visibility and cost management capability. (See “Source Information”). 
  • The use of historical cost data and economic factoring is equally ineffective.
  • Verification of contractor and trades quotes is a must!

Our veteran-owned certified small business, Four BT, LLC (4BT) now provides online software, current, local market cost data, and full support services enabling significantly enhanced construction work packages and cost estimation.  

All cost data is locally researched, granular to the construction task level, organized by expanded CSI MasterFormat, and updated quarterly (without any use of economic or location factoring).
