Abstract
Engineering costs on major capital construction projects continue to rise to levels approaching 20 percent of total project cost on Industrial projects. Increased facility complexity, OSHA documentation requirements, and the increasing need for more d
Key Findings
Several factors differentiate effective engineering productivity within industrial projects. These factors consist of project scope and complexity, input quality, and output deliverable quality. (RS156-1, p. 11, Figure 3)
Through the RT-156 recommendations projects will see significant potential for developing a universal progress measurement system to control project through their lifecycle (Detailed Design, Procurement, Construction, Startup, and Commissioning). (RS156-1, p. 15)
