While we hear about integrated project delivery (IPD), alternative project delivery, and job order contracting, are they truly fully developed processes with supporting tools and services …integrated LEAN construction planning, procurement, and project delivery for owners and design-builders requires internal and external teams to collaborate appropriately through the project lifecycle.
Consistent, significant improvements in productivity, quality, cost reduction, and delivery times can only be achieved by “checking all the following boxes”:
[ ] Owner leadership and commitment to change
[ ] Collaborative organizational culture
[ ] A robust program-based framework that includes LEAN processes and workflows
[ ] Mandatory initial and ongoing training for ALL participants and stakeholders
[ ] A common data environment (shared glossary of terms and definitions, locally researched detailed unit price cost data
[ ] An execution guide and supporting technology as part of the multi-party agreement
[ ] Shared focus upon mutually beneficial outcomes and continuous improvement
[ ] Quantitative metrics
[ ] Performance-based reward system
The above provides a foundation to allow a real property owner and their design-builders to efficiently manage their ongoing repair, renovation, sustainability, maintenance, and new build projects.
