Reliable construction cost management is virtually impossible without locally researched detailed line item unit price cost data and LEAN planning, procurement, and project delivery processes.
Truly collaborative, mutually beneficial partnering relationships are required and characterized by increasing involvement of all participants and stakeholders.
Strategic “program partnering” must replace traditional “project partnering” with long-term integrated teamwork the goal. Short-term thinking is generally incompatible with best value.
LEAN construction planning, procurement, and project delivery tools and services are readily available. For example, the OpenJOC(TM) Job Order Contracting framework uniquely integrates people, process, information, and technology to drive best value outcomes.
LEAN construction has changed and evolved to deliver optimal outcomes. Time for your organization to do the same?
