Premature Start Impact Analysis Tool

 

The case studies vary in project scope, schedule, and budget. Project definition for these case studies include projects related to infrastructure development, government funded renovations, and oil and gas midstream facilities. Average baseline project cost for these case studies range from $208 million to $2.4 million (average: $64.2 million; median: $44.2 million).

RT-323 developed the PSIA tool to help industry professionals make informed decisions aboutstarting construction on a major project and how to identify risks associated with premature starts. The tool makes it easy to specify a small set of inputs and automatically generates a detailed report based on survey data, categories, definitions, and case studies compiled and qualified by the research team.
