Framework to Assess Impacts of AWP

Construction Performance

This research report from the University of Alberta NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Strategic Construction Modeling and Delivery presents a robust methodology for assessing the benefits of AWP implementation (i.e. improved project performance), as well as incremental costs due to AWP implementation. Ultimately, organizations will be able to collect relevant data which can be used… Read more »

Modularization Strategy Best Practice

Module Assembly Best Practice

Construction Performance

This module assembly framework has been developed as a guideline to assist all module stakeholders in developing their own project specific module assembly plan. Rather than create a document that attempts to address all possible considerations through a module project lifecycle this best practice tool is based on using “principles” as a means of conveying… Read more »

Project Rework Reduction Tool Best Practice

Project Rework Reduction Tool

Construction Performance

This tool targets reducing overall project direct cost of redoing work. Supported by research, this tool targets the highest factors causing rework on a project by conducting project assessments at key points during the project. The resulting project rating helps identify areas of weakness that need to be addressed before the problem becomes a reality… Read more »
