PDRI: Project Definition Rating Index -- Building Projects, Version 4.0

IR155-2, PDRI: Project Definition Rating Index for Building Projects

This tool is to be used to measure completeness of scope definition and to manage the pre-project planning process by evaluating whether the project is ready for design.

The PDRI can benefit owners, developers, designers, and contractors. Owners can use it as an assessment tool for establishing a “comfort” level at which they are willing to move forward with projects. Designers and constructors can use it as a method of identifying poorly-defined scope elements. The PDRI provides a means for all project participants to communicate and reconcile differences using an objective tool as a common basis for project scope evaluation.
