Estimating Facility Life-cycle Costs is a critical aspect of facilities management. Key elements associated with Estimating Facility Life-cycle Costs include the following: Experience. Systems costs and systems life-cycles. Used of standardized data architectures (CSI Uniformat, CSI Masterformat).
Job Order Contracting Life-cycle Facilities Value Management and improving AECOO outcomes for all participants and stakeholders. Job Order Contracting Life-cycle Facilities Value Management enables the efficient use of available funds targeted for executing renovation, repair, maintenance, and minor new construction projects.
The good news is that robust solutions are readily available to enable the consistent delivery of quality repair, renovation, maintenance, and new construction projects on time and on budget. Current, locally researched granular (unit price line line) cost data, organized by CSI Masterformat. Full support and commitment of leadership.
Sharing actionable, transparent information with all construction project participants and stakeholders early on, and throughout the construction and operations life-cycle of a built structure, would measurably mitigate change orders, legal disputes, and waste. and maintenance information into the building knowledge base.
Monte Carlo simulation) to develop a confidence interval around the point estimate. ■ Monte Carlo simulation) to develop a confidence interval around the point estimate. ■
While the solutions to best value facilities life-cycle asset total cost of ownership management have existed for decades, only recently have they been combined to truly integrated people, processes, information, and technology.
LEAN JOC integrated People, Process, Information, and collaborative Technology to consistently yield quality projects on-time and on-budget. Asset Life-cycle Total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) Management www.4BT.us. Planning, procurement, and project delivery are all included with the LEAN JOC framework. TOOLS AND SERVICES.
The successful integration of People, Process, Information, and Technology leads to the consistent delivery of quality repair, renovation, maintenance, sustainability, and new construction projects on-time and on- budget. I have dedicated a fair portion of my life to improving physical asset life-cycle total cost of ownership management.
A LEAN JOC implementation integrates People, Process, Information, and collaborative Technology to consistently yield quality projects on-time and on-budget. The approach invests more resources earlier in the Project life-cycle. Asset Life-cycle Total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) Management www.4BT.us.
Common data environment (CDE), including locally researched detailed line item construction cost data organized by CSI Masterformat(TM). Compare those numbers to the AECOO (architecture, engineering, construction, operations, and owner) average of 70-72% of project over budget and over schedule! Mutual respect and trust.
There are far too many variables involved in the “life-cycle” of a repair, renovation, maintenance, or new build activity for the comparison to provide ANY valid indication of “accuracy” of the construction estimate. This is clearly foolish.
If the information is understood and applied property, the consistent delivery of quality repair, renovation, maintenance, sustainability, and new construction projects on-time and on-budget becomes the norm versus the exception. The most common and proven tools for this is a detailed, locally researched unit price book.
A locally researched line item construction cost database (complete with labor, material, and equipment detail and organized via CSI MasterFormat) combined with the decades of experience of skilled construction cost estimator is the best past toward an detailed, accurate, and collaborative cost estimate in construction. info@4BT.US.
The OpenCost Approach provides a locally researched unit price detailed construction cost data base withing a standard data architecture (CSI Masterformat). Create estimate, budgets, life-cycle capital reinvestment models, or link to BIM!
Even though the majority of costs (approximately 80% of total life-cycle costs) occur during the operational and maintenance (O&M) phase, decision-making is largely made based upon lowest bidder versus best value as well as current year impacts versus multi-year considerations. Integrated Projects Delivery. Job Order Contracting.
Understand and explore solutions jointly using a common data environment based upon CSI Masterformat. Especially designed to support LEAN construction procurement and management processes such as Job Order Contracting and Integrated Project Delivery, you can support all stages of any project’s life-cycle.
Common data environment – Using CSI MasterFormat and an associated construction cost database with common descriptions, terms, and full detail as to labor, material, and equipment costs is the ONLY efficient way to build, maintain, re-use, and share detailed line construction cost data. Benefits of Unit Cost Line Item Estimating.
They also should be organized using CSI Masterformat. JOC Lean business practices, combined with timely, actionable information, enable better decision-making and a significantly higher percentage of construction projects to be delivered on-time and on-budget. It also should be objective, independent, and easy-to-use.
These benefits are largely derived through the use of a common data environment, CDE, which dramatically improves communication and collaboration throughout the project life-cycle. Research shows that only 2% of construction projects globally are delivered on-time, on-budget, and to the satisfaction of all participants and users. [1]
OpenJOC uses common, standardized terms, definitions, and data architectures (CSI Masterformat licensee) to minimize cross discipline data gaps and errors and to improve collaboration. Deliver construction projects on-time, on-budget, and to the satisfaction of owners. This is accomplished through the integration of.
CSI Masterformat (TM) UPB format (50 Division) for data organization. Support and training from a team that has decades of experience LEAN consturction delivery and life-cycle facilities / infrastructure asset management. Supports multiple Unit Price Books and Detailed Line Item Commercial Construction Costs Databases.
Improve Budgeting & Resource Allocation – Adopt a common, independent, and objective locally researched detailed construction cost database to better define, communicate, and budget. Best Value – Value comes first… from best value procurement to the value of life-cycle asset management.
JOC Contract strategy, development, implementation, and management involves a thorough understanding of LEAN Construction and Life-cycle Asset Management. Standard data architecture – CSI Masterformat is the North American standard data format for construction. Development of acquisition/procurement approach.
Procuring and executing on-demand, on-budget, on-time, quality construction services has traditionally been difficult. It is now possible for any savvy public sector real property owner in New Mexico to get on-demand, on-time, on-budget, quality construction services at a fair price! We are also a CSI Masterformat licensee.
Sharing actionable, transparent information with all construction project participants and stakeholders early on, and throughout the construction and operations life-cycle of a built structure, would measurably mitigate change orders, legal disputes, and waste. and maintenance information into the building knowledge base.

Focus is upon best value and life-cycle costs versus first costs. More projects are completed on-time and on-budget, timely accurate, and standardize information is available for all participants and oversight groups. Risk/reward is shared an additional work and resources are allocated based upon performance. Owner Roadblock.
The efficient life-cycle management of the built environment will not happen until change management is accelerated. In an industry known for construction delays and cost overruns, high quality BIM projects are being built on-time (or even early) and significantly under budget. and General Manager of R.S.
