1. Efficient Project Delivery Methods for Repair, Renovation, Sustainability, Construction Prepared for Pentagon/WHS-FSD| October 2014 Peter Nicholas Cholakis Leading Software Developer/Marketer Decades of Owner/Contractor Experience RSMeans Data Experts Thought Leadership/Education

2. “In the long history of humankind, those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.” – Charles Darwin

3. Today’s Topics  Importance and currently available collaborative project delivery methods  Description of key characteristics of a collaborative project delivery method  Roles and responsibilities of Owners, AE’s, Contractors  Importance of standardized information and supporting technology

4. Economic and Environmental Drivers  Altered World Economic Landscape – AECOO Productivity has DECLINED for over 40 years – Budgetary Pressures  Non-renewable Resources & Climate Change – Built environment is a major contributor

5. Construction - Fundamental Change Owners pay the bills: Thus, it’s the Owner’s responsibility to drive/require LEAN management processes, education/awareness, and the adoption of supporting technologies to improve construction productivity.

6. Industry understanding and support of LEAN processes (IPD, JOC, PPP…) and life-cycle management. Factors Affecting Adoption of Efficient Construction Methods Executive leadership & support Human resources Process & Information needs/capabilities Risk perception Financial resources Organizational Issues Standards Market Factors Economics Climate Change Mandates Stakeholder demands BIM Ontology Cloud Computing Integrated Project Delivery Education, Support, & Training

7. Requirements for Change – Check List  A Robust Ontology (Terms, Definitions, and Associations)  Life-cycle cost focus vs. prevalent first-cost mentality  Migration from linear strategy-design-construction- demolish to multi-faceted, cyclical portfolio management-project delivery-property management model  “Trust but measure” – Owners can’t manage what they don’t measure - Transparency

9. Lifecycle Management Today’s Focus

10. Traditional vs. Collaborative Construction Project Delivery Methods  Design-Bid-Build (DBB)  Design-Build (DB)  CM-at-Risk (CMAR) UNPRODUCTIVE ANTAGONISTIC / LEGAL DISPUTES EFFICIENT MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIPS  Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)  Job Order Contracting (JOC)  Public Private Partnerships (PPP) INFORMATION SILOS TRANSPARENCY

11. Traditional vs. Collaborative Construction Project Delivery Methods

12. What is JOC / JOB Order Contracting  3-5 Year Contract  Construction Delivery Method  A “Better Way” for the Numerous Renovation, Repair, Sustainability Construction Projects  Costs Developed Using a Unit Price Book (UPB) and a Co-efficient  Performance-based  Transparency  Collaborative  Win/Win for Owners/Contractors/AEs

13. JOC Requirements  Right Teams  Unit Price Book (RSMeans)  Owner Estimates (IGEs)  Performance Bases  Transparency  Supporting Technology  Training

14. JOC Benefits  On-Time / On-Budget Projects  Fewer Change Orders  Enhanced Communication  Shorter Procurement and Project Timelines  Transparency  Longer Term Relationships  Higher Satisfaction for ALL

15.  PROVEN – 25-year track within the DOD  EFFICIENT - Reduces engineering, design, & procurement time  LONG-TERM - Typically 3-5 year contracts  PARTNERING – Requires teamwork – owners, contractors, AE’s  PERFORMANCE-based - Contractors selected value / qualifications  CONVENIENT – Construction services from concept to close-out JOC Basics

16. Shorter Procurement, Fewer Change Orders = Savings

18.  Track & Manage each project from inception to completion.  Manage a single project, entire contract, or multiple contracts.  All project milestones, concept thru warranty period.  Display status of each project  Maintain a complete cost history  Record all estimates associated with a project.  Review value of all projects awarded on a specific contract, or to a specific contractor.  Report pre-negotiation strategies and post- negotiation summaries. Programming Estimate Estimates from Each Design Stage Final Detailed Cost Estimate Initial Contractor Proposals Technically Evaluated Proposals Final Revised Contractor Proposals Modifications & Changes Orders JOC Process

19. Supporting Technology Integration of Proven Construction Delivery Methods / Project Management Standardized Cost Data Architectures / Taxonomies (i.e. RSMeans TM – 400,000 line items) Comprehensive Document Management Electronic Visualization / QTO (i.e. eTakeoff TM )

20. Supporting Technology Collaborative Software Application Cloud Computing?

Contract Management Project Management Document Management Visualization / QTO Owner / Contractor/AE Modules Integration

21. Manage Multiple Contracts

22. Compare, Evaluate, Negotiate, Award

23. Visual Estimating / QTO / Pattern Search

24. Future “WIN-WIN” Integration of best-in- class, new life-cycle focused processes, technologies and services. Proprietary, vendor dependent development Non-proprietary, open standards/development

25. Storage Costs Approaching Zero  Traditional Databases Dying  Data Never Lost  Information Linkages  Information Reuse

30. Evolution of Cost Estimating/Project Management Cloud Computing

31. Benefits – Ceasel Cloud Computing Architecture  Collaboration - users work concurrently on projects in real-time…virtually anyone, anywhere, anytime.  Data Integrity – Information is NEVER deleted. Changes can be “rolled back” at any time by authorized administrators.  Data Protection – You determine how, when, and where to publish data: your private area, as read only to specified members within a private cloud, all members in a private cloud, or publish information to all members in public cloud.

32. Benefits of Ceasel’s Cloud Computing Architecture  Visualization – Project participants see data earlier in the project life-cycle, driving fewer change orders, faster project timelines, and virtual elimination of legal disputes.  Agility – Rapid deployment, monitoring, and the ability to quickly update processes and policies.  Virtually no resource required of internal “IT” for deployment or applications specific changes, computing power, storage space, etc.

33. Benefits of Ceasel’s Cloud Computing Architecture  Mobility – Resources can accessed from multiple locations.  Centralization of Information – While information can be gather from distributed locations, consolidation and global oversight is supported to assure mission success.  Business Continuity –Internet access is sole requirement. Data centers provide multiple redundancies.
