Hill International, Inc.’s Post

Great evening at the #bccr AGM and panel discussion last Thursday. The event provided very interesting insights on major infrastructure project delivery models from project leaders across Canada. One key takeaway emphasized the approach of splitting projects into distinct construction work packages to alleviate risk. This strategy involves drawing in construction professionals and experts in specific fields rather than bundling everything into one large P3 or DB project. By handling unforeseen conditions at a work package level, the overall project is shielded from schedule delays and potential arbitration over costs, ultimately enhancing project delivery efficiency. Looking forward to more enlightening discussions! #pbxengineering #projectdelivery

Drive a Cohesive JOC Program Collaborative project delivery increases efficiency and cuts design/construction costs, however, few public sector owners leverage their JOC Programs to achieve these benefits. #1 JOC Programs cannot be outsourced. Real property owners must be directly involved in creating a detailed Scope of Work, reviewing and approving contractor proposals, etc. Excessive reliance upon "JOC Consultants" will simply result in wasteful spending. #2 Collaborative JOC Programs involve integrated planning, procurement, and project delivery teams to assure consistent delivery of construction services on-time, on-budget, and to the satisfaction of all participants and stakeholders. As the above indicated, JOC Programs should NEVER be employed to simply speed the procurement and delivery of renovation, repair, maintenance, and new build projects. This approach, without appropriate owner leadership, capacity, and accountability, generally leads to various forms of mismanagement as noted in multiple independent audits. While there is nothing complex about implementing and management of cohesive, collaborative JOC Programs, they are unfamiliar to most.  They require fundamental changes in day-to-day ways of doing business.  4bt.us #joc #jocprogram #jobordercontract #consultant #jocconsultant #UPB
