LEAN CONSTRUCTION DELIVERY. If you consider BIM to be the solution to low construction productivity, think again. 3D visualization and technology will do little to solve construction project delivery woes. Construction is like any other relatively complex manufacturing process. Collaboration. Shared Risk/Reward.

Valid construction cost estimate creation is the goal of every professional estimator. Using the final construction cost, for example, is just plain silly as there are far too many variables involved in the outcome. Nonetheless validity of a construction cost estimate is critical to cost management.
