A credible construction cost estimate is required prior to engaging in procurement. Typical construction project stake holders include: Owners (management, engineering, contracting/procurement, building users), Contractors, Subcontractors, and Designers/Architects. Primary data sources should be used whenever possible.
I have dedicated a fair portion of my life to improving physical asset life-cycle total cost of ownership management. Architects, engineers, builders, and owners would benefit by fundamentally changing the way projects are conceived, budgeted, procured, organized and executed.
Current, actionable construction cost data is a core component of efficient life-cycle management of the built environment and LEAN construction planning, procurement, and project delivery. LEAN Process Combined with Detailed, Locally Researched Construction Cost Data.
The are many levels of construction cost estimates based upon a “project” life-cycle. Conceptual or preliminary estimates are developed prior to any design or engineering analysis other than basic requirements definition and or physical and/or functional condition assessment. Levels of Construction Cost Estimates.
Real property owners and FMers must become trusted partners with service providers (architects, engineers, and builders) and their building user customers. All the tools and support services are readily available to enable LEAN facilities/built environment life-cycle management. Anyone ready to change… Let’s talk.
Planning, procurement, and project delivery are all included with the LEAN JOC framework. The approach invests more resources earlier in the Project life-cycle. Asset Life-cycle Total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) Management www.4BT.us. TOOLS AND SERVICES.
The solution to improved life-cycle management of the build environment lies within a greater focus upon improving competencies and business processes. Asset Total Cost of Ownership-Efficient Life-cycle Management Model. Job Order Contracting – A Procurement Success Story, 1998. IntegratedOrderContractingSAME.
I always tell owners, builders, architects, and engineers to forget construction cost estimating accuracy. Construction planning, procurement, and project delivery methodology, for starters, all have far more impact upon the final as-built cost than the original estimate. This is clearly foolish.
The above represents the initial “concept” or “planning” stage, however, the steps must be repeated throughout the planning, procurement, and project delivery phases. What documentation, forms are required? In addition, collaborative teams, robust processes, and current actionable information are critical.
While there has been a fair amount written about Lean principles, actual application in the form of an integrated construction planning, procurement, and project delivery methodology has been limited to 5% or less actual work. Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 14(2), 73–78. References: Abdelhamid, T. 1440-7027). Halpin, D.
Big data” — the ability to acquire, process and sort vast quantities of information for timely decision support is critical to the efficient life-cycle management of the built environment. Using Big Data for life-cycle facility management is NOT just about technology. . - Eric Schmidt, Chairman of Google.
Building Information Modeling is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. In the manufacturing world, PLM, product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing the entire life-cycle of a product from its conception, through design and manufacture, to service and disposal.
