Unlock Public Sector Construction Productivity[1] with Proven Strategies: A WhitePaper. Two of these solutions are IntegratedProjectDelivery (IPD) and Job Order Contracting (JOC). Faster, Higher Quality, and Lower Cost ProjectDelivery. First, a few things to consider. Fully Compliant.
Projectdelivery methods set the tone and largely dictate the relative success of any facility construction, renovation, repair, or sustainability project. Projectdelivery methods must therefore be a component of BIM, a fact many/most 3D visualization software vendors appear to have ignored. So what is IPD?
BIM is the process of efficient life-cycle management supported by digital technology. Until appropriate process and technologies are deployed BIM will not become mainstream and the architecture, engineering, construction, and building operations/facility management sectors will continue their trend of low productivity and waste.
And BIM is really the “life-cycle managemen of a facility (any built structure) supported by digital technology” So… back the recent Graphisoft – Archicad whitepaper titled “Is your firm positioning for growht and greater differentiation?” The paper goes on to focus upon architects and technology.
But remember, they were designed some thirty years ago to deal with the mundane tasks of pen an paper accounting and forecasting. Powerful cost estimating software, integrated with visual estimating, contract management, projectmanagement, and document management is the new standard. JOC WhitePaper.
A Fresh Approach to Efficient Construction Delivery. The capture of integrated knowledge in an organized way should drive planning. . Revamp talent recruitment and development with a focus upon building collaboration, leadership, and overall life-cycle management competencies. Management is only possible with measurement.
How can multiple cost estimators share information on a project, or communicate with Owners, Contractors, AE’s, Subs, etc… if they aren’t speaking the same language? Even today, many view BIM as 3D visualization, vs. life-cycle building management supported by technology!
The facilities management and AECOO sectors (architecture, engineering, construction, owner, and operator) have long suffered from poor productivity growth and high levels economic and environmental waste. “project” in reality is simply a bunch of diverse sub-projects, each handled independently and in its own manner.
OpenJOC, a term coined by Four BT, LLC, is the deployment of Job Order Contracting based upon LEAN construction delivery best management practices. OpenJOC leverages processes, standardized cost data , and technology to drive win-win relationships among all project participants and on-time, on-budget, quality construction outcomes.
They also select the construction delivery method. It is the owner and the associated construction delivery method that set the tone, outline roles and responsibilities, establish timelines and deliverables, contractually determine the level of collaboration, and ultimately determine the success of failure of a project.
Public works contracts vary from private sector contracts in that legislation sets the contracting guidelines for contracts and the public interest demands safeguarding process integrity.

The LEAN Integrated Construction ProjectDelivery Method. . Traditional design-bid-build (DBB) construction delivery was too inefficient for the large numbers of renovation, repair, and sustainment/maintenance projects. Have a Clear Chain of Command, however LEAD without Excessive Management and Control.
Owner must provide value by sharing knowledge and collaborating in a timely manner with all service providers from concept through close-out, and not engage in excessive management and control. Best Value Procurement and LEAN collaborative construction delivery methods are proven to delivery significant improvements.
The construction delivery method and its associated contractual framework affects the outcome of any repair, renovation, or new construction project more than any other single element. Similarly technology vendors have marketing their solutions as opposed to integrated proven LEAN process within technology.
LEAN Construction & LEAN Facilities ManagementManagement Myths. FALSE: Traditional methods such as design-bid-build and even design-build, are wasteful and cost more in the long run than IntegratedProjectDelivery (for new construction) and Job Order Contracting (JOC) for renovation, repair, and minor new construction.
Integrating operating, design and construction knowledge through broad based team meetings. ASSET LIFE-CYCLE MODEL – Total Cost of Ownership Management – A framework for facilities life-cycle management. should not be considered LEAN efficient construction delivery methods. Creating an open information environment.
The appropriate procurement and management of construction services resulting in timely, cost effective, and quality outcomes has remained problematic for many/most public organizations. Define Construction Procurement – Related WhitePapers and Resources. Define Construction Procurement.

General Facility Management. Asset Total Cost of Ownership-Efficient Life-cycle Management Model. BIM for Facility Management.
While accurate, timely, and transparent cost estimating is critical to the success of any renovation, repair, sustainability, or new construction project, most construction cost estimators (over 55%) continue to rely primarily upon manual methods, hard copy documents, or electronic spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel.
The application of LEANconstruction is a focus upon best value for all project participants. Owners must lead the LEAN construction process and do so without excessive management and control. Facilities Management Considerations. Review construction delivery methods. TOP 10 LEANCONSTRUCTION BASICS. Focus upon outcomes.
JOC is an efficient and widely practice method for both Owners and Contractors to manage their numerous common repair, renovation, and maintenance construction projects. These types of projects represent the majority of dollars spent for most Owners and the trend will continue. Joint site walks and scoping common. Annual volume.

Managing pandemic disruptions and getting projects over the finish line has required a well-tempered balance of leadership, creativity, and innovation to solve incredibly challenging problems. One of the greatest things about AEC is how many talented people contribute to a single project. Senior BIM Manager. Nima Jafari.
