Abstract
Speed and quality of construction have always been driving factors in the construction industry, but, over the past decade, they have become increasingly important. Indeed, in the current environment of increasingly complex projects, shorter useful li
Key Findings

The top three reasons for using flash track delivery:

  • Time to market (competitive advantage)
  • Emergency rebuild
  • Regulatory compliance

(RS311-1, p. 27) 

A re-engineered delivery process that adopts a different and innovative delivery strategy. By adding a little "c" at the beginning of the process, the workflow stresses the critical importance of involving key specialty contractors in the preliminary conceptual design process. 

·         cPEpC = specialty contractors – Procurement (strategic procurement items) – Engineering-little procurement (balance of procurement items) – Construction

Adopting this different and more innovative delivery strategy plus exceptional execution of all normal project activities results in successful flash track projects. (RS311-1, p. 25)

The research identified 47 essential practices spread over the following six categories, providing discussion on the component practices including innovative implementation strategies. (RS311-1, p. 13)

1.    Planning – 7 practices

2.    Execution – 7 practices

3.    Organizational – 9 practices

4.    Cultural – 8 practices

5.    Delivery – 8 practices

6.    Contractual – 8 practices

 

Practices are statistically sub-divided into Tier 1 and Tier 2 levels, where Tier 1 level practices represent critical success factors associated executing flash track delivery.
