Key Findings

In order to achieve a 25% or more reduction in project cycle time, the four key drivers listed in key finding #1 must be present. Furthermore, the use of CII best practices are also key components and themes present in typical projects where we find this type of radical reduction. The CII best practices most frequently and successfully used in the case studies are:

  • Alignment
  • Material management
  • Pre-project planning
  • Constructability
  • Design Effectiveness

Management and schedule reduction techniques from other industries are also required in conjunction to CII best practices, in order to achieve radical reduction. The top five include: (RR193-11, p. 190)
