Accelerating Project Delivery

Startup-Driven Design

On capital projects, the value created by efficient design and construction execution can be quickly destroyed by a delayed or inefficient startup.

This Executive Insight focuses on the design of modules. Modularization and preassembly are construction techniques in which all or part of sections or facilities are prefabricated or assembled in one location and then transported to the site.

The Design Engineer’s Role in Alternative Delivery

The design and construction of transportation facilities in the United States have been managed by public agencies or toll road authorities for most of the last century.

Accelerating Project Delivery – Introduction

This insight will share practices on methods that support the accelerating project delivery process and that are effective in improving these four key project metrics.

Owner-Procured Materials

Through an owner case study, this insight will share the benefits of owner-procured materials that support front-end planning and procurement to accelerate delivery.

Partnering and the Need for Speed

Construction projects often have a huge number of players involved in innumerable interactions and reliance on others to complete tasks properly as predecessors to many follow-on activities.

Improving Work Flow Reliability on Projects

PARC was a national oil company’s refinery revamp, a $1.2B project in 1994 dollars. Just one year away from scheduled completion, the project was well behind schedule, and the construction manager.

Accelerating Project Delivery through Early Contractor Involvement

The purpose of this Executive Insight is to explain the benefits of accelerating project delivery through early contractor involvement (ECI), regardless of project delivery method.
