Abstract

The Construction Industry Institute (CII) challenged Research Team DCC-04 (RT-DCC-04) to recommend strategies for promoting the use of Advanced Work Packaging. AWP is a CII Best Practice that promotes a disciplined process for project planning and exe

Key Findings

The average AWP maturity level of companies across industry was 1.81. A gap between the dimension “View of AWP Potential and Benefits” and “Work Process and Deliverables” reflects that industry acknowledges the benefits of AWP, but also highlights that many companies are still developing AWP implementation processes.

The frequency shown in the table represents the number of companies that selected the respective maturity level (RT-DCC-04, page 19).

The frequency shown in the histogram indicates the number of respondents that selected the respective option (RT-DCC-04, page 17).

The frequency expresses the number of respondents that selected the respective alternative (RT-DCC-04, page 17).

AWP implementation barriers vary according to the company’s AWP maturity level (RT-DCC-04, page 26):

The higher maturity companies faced barriers more closely connected with integrating AWP with engineering.
The median maturity companies presented a mix of barriers related to awareness and barriers related to integration with engineering.
The lower maturity companies are encountering more barriers that come with being unconvinced of AWP’s benefits or not being interested in implementing AWP.
