Significantly improve public sector facilities repair, renovation, maintenance, and new build outcomes.
- Robust Process,
- Integrated Teams
- Defined Workflows
- Validate Cost Data
Robust tools and support services are now readily available to support all these foundational requirements.
1. Preconstruction
Preconstruction planning is critical to any project. Is the project suitable for the construction delivery method? Are funds available? Is the right team available?
2. Procurement Workflows
A detailed scope of work and an associated detailed line-item estimate is required before any procurement evaluation and award. From start to finish, bidding and procurement workflows are dependent upon robust process and current, granular local market labor, material, and equipment construction task data. Joint site visits are also necessary prior to the contract award. The proper use of data is a prerequisite to consistent positive outcomes. Locally researched unit price cost data can be leveraged to detail labor type, time, and cost requirements, scheduling, and provide valid cost visibility. Lump sum or poorly detailed contractor or subcontractor quotes, historical cost data, or national average cost data do not provide any ability for cost management to an owner.
3. Project Tracking
All phases, forms, approvals, dollars, and dates for a project must be monitored to enable management. Optimizing construction processes, projects, and work orders isn’t difficult if appropriate teams, process, information, and technology are present. Furthermore, leveraging valid information and quantitative KPIs (key performance indicators) supports knowledge building and continuous improvement.
Sample KPIs include:
• Labor productivity rates.
• Health and safety incident rates.
• Number of change orders.
• Project completion time (forecast vs. actual).
• Project cost (forecast vs. actual).
