Early planning, design, and procurement stages influence cost, timing, quality, and overall repair, renovation, maintenance and new builds, and are critical to achieving optimal outcomes.
Federal public sector continues its legacy of economic and environmental waste ,
Nonetheless the vast majority of public (and private) facilities management professionals continue to rely upon archaic and inefficient methods.
As a result, the public sector continues its legacy of economic and environmental waste.
For example, not a single Federal sector department or agency, from the GSA to the USACE has, let alone requires, an optimal, organization-wide policy of using proven LEAN construction planning, procurement, and project delivery methods or even current verifiable, locally researched cost data bases. The latter are fundamental to verifying contractor quotes and creating internal government estimates (IGEs).
